Heat Recovery Plant

12. 12 @NivosOy12
Technical Data (1st phase)
• Heat production 3,6 MW
• Replaces 50% of the annual natural gas consumption
• Reduces CO2-emissions 40% on annual level
• Equivalent to heating of 1000 single family houses
• Investment app. 2,5 M€ + the connection line to city centre app. 1M€
• Nominal Power input 1,2 MW
• COP: Between 4 and 2,7 depending on the drive
situation e.g. ambient temperature

13. 13 @NivosOy13
Significant positive impact
• We buy heat from Yandex based on normal commercial terms
• Reduced carbondioxide emissions
• First phase -40% less CO2-emissions,
this corresponds to the objective EU set for emission reductions in 2030
• Second phase -90 %,
district heating will be almost CO2-emission free in Mäntsälä
• District heating is more competitive
• In the future only peak heat load is covered with natural/bio gas
or wood pellets
• Yandex 2nd phaze is more optimized also from the heat
recovery perspective, leading to even better heat recovery and
higher output temperature
