Korsnäs, Sweden, reported this week that its Frövi paperboard mill in Sweden, and the regional energy company, Linde Energi, are taking further steps toward a long-term climate-smart solution for district heating, using surplus heat from the mill. To date, the collaboration between Linde Energi and the Frövi mill has significantly benefitted the environment. Now, the two parties are taking another step in that direction with a major joint investment.

A 46-meter-high accumulator tank with a diameter of 14 meters will be built in the town of Lindesberg, not far from the Frövi mill. Surplus heat from the mill will be stored in the accumulator tank, with the objective of cutting oil consumption in Linde Energi's district heating system to a minimum. The investment in the accumulator tank is estimated at around 20 million Kronor.
