Sustainability is something many talk about, but we make a real difference

District heating and district cooling are two energy systems that help reduce climate impact and increase energy efficiency. They utilize heat and cooling that would otherwise go to waste and deliver it to homes and businesses. District heating and cooling are also adaptable to various energy sources, which can be renewable, recycled, or fossil-free.

According to Energiföretagen, the trade organization for energy companies in Sweden, district heating is a resource-efficient system made up of different forms of residuals, such as forest waste, wood waste, or household waste. District heating has been completely fossil-free in Sweden since 2020 and has reduced its carbon dioxide emissions by 90 percent since 1990. District heating also enables district cooling, a system that uses surplus heat to produce cooling. District cooling reduces electricity demand by at least 50 percent compared to local systems and helps lower urban temperatures.

At Termoekonomi, we help our clients use energy more efficiently by offering services in district heating and district cooling. The company has extensive experience in researching and developing new technology for environment and energy, in collaboration with KTH and other partners. Among the innovative projects Termoekonomi has been involved in are data centers, large heat pumps, and district cooling. The company shares its knowledge of district heating and cooling by participating in conferences and seminars, as well as organizing courses and training at institutions such as KTH, Nackademin, and SIFU.

District heating and cooling are sustainable energy systems that offer many benefits for both the environment and society. They are also examples of how Sweden is a pioneer in the energy transition. Termoekonomi contributes to the development and international spread of these systems.
