Heating boiler station with one biomass and one natural gas fired boiler, total heat power 1000 kW from Austria
The largest austrian fossile fired district heating plant. Total heat power 358.000 kW.
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.
