Fortum bags COGEN Europe Annual Recognition Award
Fortum has been recognized by COGEN Europe for an effective implementation of its resource efficient CHP strategy. Fortum has in one year commissioned a portfolio of four new combined heat and power (CHP) plants in four different countries in the Baltic Rim area. All those plants increase the share of heat and electricity produced from renewable sources in the region by 86 MWe and 243 MWth.
Håkan Grefberg, Senior Advisor to Fortum Heat business, said, "We are happy to see that our strategy to promote efficient and environmentally friendly production based on local fuels has been appreciated across Europe. We are proud to have developed the first waste-based CHP plant in the Baltic countries, which is now serving the local community in Klaipeda and we are a proud owner of the largest bio-fired CHP plant in Latvia."
CHP production is a sustainable and energy-efficient way to produce energy as almost 90% of the fuel's primary energy can be utilized in the process. Combined generation reduces environmental emissions between 25 and 40 per cent compared to separate production of electricity and heat.
