Envisioning and Testing New Models of Sustainable Energy Cooperation and Services in Industrial Parks

Main achievements:

2 feasibility studies performed: District Combined Heat and Power, Anaerobic codigestion of vegetable tannery sludge.

Potential energy savings after project duration: > 59,000 MWh/year

Potential renewable energy production after project duration: 34,380 MWh/year

Potential reductions of GHG emissions: >10,000 tons _{CO2 eq} / year

Experience in energy efficiency:

The companies are all energy-intensive industries. They are all subject to changing energy prices are thus well informed about efficiency potentials. Borealis provides and maintains the utilities:

natural gas, water, steam at different pressure levels. Borealis maintains a monitoring system providing frequent (e.g. 1 second) data. This is a well-found basis for energy cooperation and energy efficiency projects.

Main achievements:

3 feasibility studies performed: Waste Heat to DHN, Waste heat to process cold, Waste heat feed-in to local DHN

Potential energy savings after project duration (combined): >158,000 MWh/year

Potential renewable energy production after project duration: >50,000 MWh/year
