    How Ottawa is modernizing its 100-year-old energy system

    In the Canadian capital of Ottawa, the hundred-year-old district heating and district cooling systems need to be renewed. It is an extensive project where FVB is responsible for how the renewal will be implemented in practice. Ottawa is located in the southeast corner of Canada. The weather is characterized by really cold winters and hot summers. This means that in winter there is a great need for heat and in summer there is a great need for cooling. This led to the construction of district heating and district cooling systems a hundred years ago to give the government

    District cooling is really hot

    There is a great deal of interest within many energy companies to pursue a new investment or expand their existing investment in district cooling. In addition to having a positive impact on the environment, it also frees up electrical capacity that can be used for other purposes, such as electric car charging. “There is a lot of pressure on the cooling market. This is due to several factors, but particularly that the energy companies’ customers are placing higher demands on a comfortable indoor climate all year round. This can be compared with cars, where air conditioning used to be an

    FVB is investing in water and sewage

    FVB has substantial knowledge in water purification and water supply but has thus far focused on plants and pumps. Now we are expanding our operations to also include pipe networks, which is something we have extensive experience with in other areas. Gustav Myhrman is the person who will lead the development work. FVB is primarily known for working with district heating and district cooling but has also helped customers with water and sewage for many years. This primarily involves investigations, design of wastewater treatment plants, improving energy efficiency, and the control and

    New slurry pit reduces methane emissions

    Tekniska verken in Linköping Sweden, is building a gas-tight slurry pit. This is an important climate measure, as the current open storage emits the powerful greenhouse gas methane. FVB  is involved in several parts of the project, including the feasibility study and project management for part of the process.  Tekniska verken has extensive experience with biogas. As early as 20 years ago, they formed a biogas company – Linköping Biogas – together with Swedish Meat and LRF. At the time, Linköping had poor air quality in the city center due to traffic and the

    FVB introduced district cooling in Sweden

    Sweden’s first district cooling plant was put into operation in Västerås in 1992. This is thanks to FVB employee Anders Rydåker bringing the technology with him from the US. Today, district cooling exists in 40 cities in Sweden and is now expanding significantly. In the early 1980s, Anders Rydåker started FVB’s office in the U.S., where he worked with district heating and district cooling. It is precisely in the US that the world’s first district cooling system was built as early as 1962 and many of the country’s universities use district cooling.“I did an investigation on
