District heating
Viridor partners with Vattenfall to distribute heat from EfW to houses


Viridor and heating provider Vattenfall have announced a planned collaboration that will allow heat to be transferred from Viridor’s energy from waste (EfWs) to homes and businesses.


The heat will move through pipes created and operated by Vattenfall and will be distributed in the areas surrounding the EfWs. The two companies hope that this will create a closed-loop energy system that turns the community’s collected recycled waste into heating for the same area.
