Waste heat from SSAB Hämeenlinna to be used in district heating network
SSAB and energy company Loimua have agreed on the utilization of waste heat from SSAB Hämeenlinna (Finland) in the Hämeenlinna district heating network. Loimua will build a heating and cooling plant on SSAB's site. The plant will have a heating capacity of around 10 MW and produce approximately 70 GWh of district heat per year. This corresponds to the heating needs of approximately 3,000 single-family houses and covers around 15% of Hämeenlinna's heating needs. Loimua has taken a decision on the investment, which is worth more than EUR 10 million. The Ministry of Economic Affairs
