Vattenfall has announced that its new biofuel heat plant Carpe Futurum in Uppsala, Sweden, has been inaugurated and taken into operation.
Carpe Futurum is situated in Vattenfall's main heat plant in Uppsala, Boländerna, 70 kilometres north of Stockholm. The heat is distributed to around 76,000 households and heating customers in Vattenfall’s district heating network in Uppsala.
The new plant will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 200,000 tonnes per year, compared with when peat and other fossil fuels were used. This will halve the climate footprint for the around 170,000 Uppsala residents who are connected to Vattenfall’s district heating grid in the city.
