Exploring the pros and cons of electric boilers

In Finland, the rise in biofuel prices coupled with simultaneous high demand has catalyzed a shift towards electric boilers for process steam production. This transition not only responds to economic pressures but also aligns with an increasing commitment to environmental sustainability. Electricity, particularly when sourced from expanding wind energy investments,…

Arla Vimmerby increases capacity but cuts emissions and costs

It may seem like wishful thinking, what Arla and Adven are doing in Vimmerby. An energy guzzling dairy saves energy, increases capacity – and then becomes fossil-free as icing on the cake. "This is the biggest energy saving in Arla's history", says dairyman Allan Leandersson, project manager for Arla Vimmerby.…

Non-fossil energy solution to Mirka’s factory in Oravais
