This week, Simon Bolteau from EKA participated in the event Sustainable Heating & Cooling in Practice in Lund, an initiative by Business Sweden, SweHeat and the Sustainable Heating and Cooling organization. At the event, industry stakeholders from across Europe came together to exchange experiences in district heating, waste heat recovery, digitalization, and electrification.
Examples from Reality
In his presentation Simon showed how EKA contributes to concrete transition projects:
Small-scale systems where waste heat from, for example, an ice rink is recovered for use in swimming halls, sports facilities or schools
Medium-scale air or geoenergy solutions in smaller towns, often replacing pellet heating
Large-scale heat pump systems (up to 15 MW) combined with data centers or wastewater treatment plants as heat sources
A common theme is that all solutions are electrically driven, flexible, and optimized to cooperate with the electricity grid — often with the ability to operate in demand-response (flex) and grid balancing.
From Feasibility Study to Operation
EKA’s role spans from technical analyses and energy calculations to procurement, implementation, and long-term optimization. With over 10 years of experience in cooling and heat pump technology, we have the capacity to support municipalities, property owners, and energy companies throughout the transition journey.
Thanks for an Important Forum
We extend our sincere thanks to the organizers for an inspiring event — the future is electric, and heat pumps are a central element in the transition to climate-neutral heating.
