Algae cultivation is now heating up to 2,500 apartments in Gustavsberg, Sweden
Excess heat from AstaReal’s algae cultivation is now being used for district heating for up to 2,500 apartments in Gustavsberg, outside of Stockholm. Vattenfall's innovative installation uses waste heat from AstaReal’s production process, that would otherwise be lost."AstaReal’s production process is energy-intensive and requires both electricity and cooling. The excess heat is now being used for heating homes and premises, and Gustavsberg's residents now get more than 20 per cent of their heating needs from the new technology," says Kurosh Beradari, Sales and Marketing Director at
