ESANI is a national waste management company operating in Greenland. ESANI owns the district heating plant in Nuuk, which supplies the town with district heating. As part of its efforts to increase resource efficiency, the waste incineration facility in Nuuk has been complemented with an ORC turbine, enabling recovered waste to be converted into both energy and electricity in line with ESANI’s sustainability focus.

Againity delivered an automated ORC system with a maximum electrical capacity of 355 kW. The ORC system enables electricity production from the hot water of the heating boiler. By converting local waste into energy and generating electricity with the ORC turbine, ESANI replaces imported fossil fuels in the national electricity mix and contributes to a more sustainable and locally based energy system.

The district heating plant in Gamleby is owned by Västervik Miljö och Energi AB, which in recent years has invested in modernizing the plant to enable fully fossil-free district heating production. In connection with this, Västervik Miljö och Energi chose to invest in an ORC turbine connected to a new 5 MW wood chip-fired hot water boiler. The investment not only reduces electricity and grid costs, but will also help the company achieve its goal of becoming climate neutral by 2030.

Againity delivered an automated ORC system with a maximum electrical capacity of 90 kW. The ORC system enables electricity production from the hot water of the heating boiler. In total, the system is expected to produce 350 MWh annually, corresponding to emission reductions of 315 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents when replacing European marginal electricity. Västervik Miljö och Energi has signed a service agreement with Againity to ensure long lifetime and minimal maintenance.

Finspångs Tekniska Verk AB owns the district heating plant in Finspång, which supplies the town with district heating. The plant includes a waste-to-energy facility, where residual waste remaining after material recycling is treated and incinerated in a 10 MW waste-fired boiler. With a strong focus on climate-friendly processes and the ambition to further develop a sustainable energy system, Finspångs Tekniska chose to invest in an ORC turbine.

Againity delivered an automated ORC system with a maximum electrical capacity of 450 kW. The ORC system enables electricity production from the hot water of the heating boiler.

Ystad Energi AB owns the district heating plant in Ystad, which produces 100% renewable district heating. The plant’s two main boilers are rated at 10 MW each and are primarily fueled by chipped branches and tops left over from forestry operations. To reduce dependence on electricity supply from the grid—where capacity shortages have become an increasingly common issue—Ystad Energi decided to invest in a total of three ORC turbines. Each of the two 10 MW boilers will be equipped with an ORC turbine, and a third turbine will be connected to a 5 MW boiler.

Againity delivered three automated ORC systems with a combined maximum electrical capacity of 750 kW. The ORC systems generate electricity from the hot water of the heating boilers.
