In October 2015, a brand-new wood chip-fueled heating plant was established, which now provides heating for 43 local households. ISOPLUS has supplied the pipes and made the detailed project design. All ends are gathered in a cooperative with quite an appropriate name of “Føns Community Heating”.
Substantial CO2 emissions saving
The wood chip-fueled plant has pensioned off a large number of the 43 consumers’ oil boilers and pellet boilers – this alone gave significant environmental benefits. Over the last four years, the plant has reduced its CO2 emissions by 280,000 tons. Future plans also include incorporating a renewable energy source to ensure 100 per cent sustainable heating.
The initiative is to a great extent based on the efforts of local enthusiasts and local schemes where volunteers take turns overlooking the plant one week at a time. Føns Community Heating has attracted the interest of many small villages on Zealand and in Jutland; the plant even received visitors from Japan, who came to see how Denmark’s smallest district heating plant works.
