Heat-only boiler station in Lund

A heat-only boiler station generates thermal energy in the form of hot water for use in district heating applications. Unlike combined heat and power installations which produce thermal energy as a by-product of electricity generation, heat-only boiler stations are dedicated to generating heat.

The heat boiler station can use different fuels:

• Natural gas
• Heating oil
• Woodchips
• Straw
• Coal
