Heating and Cooling
At Energiforsk, we develop future solutions for district heating, combined heat and power, and district cooling. Through research, collaboration, and innovation, we help reduce climate impact and strengthen the resilience of the energy system.
We work to ensure that district heating and cooling remain attractive parts of a sustainable energy system. This includes taking advantage of new technology and ensuring that investments are used efficiently. Our focus is on developing resource-efficient, flexible, and digital solutions that link electricity, heating, and cooling – strengthening the system as a whole.
Our research also covers ash management for safe and sustainable reuse, as well as energy efficiency and resource optimisation in the forestry industry. In addition, we follow developments in steam and gas turbines to expand knowledge about their performance and potential in a flexible electricity system.
By refining and sharing research results, supporting test and pilot projects, and enabling new collaborations, we shorten the path from research to commercial application. In doing so, we strengthen the industry’s ability to turn knowledge into practical benefits – for the climate, for industry, and for society.
