Local enthusiasts want boilers out and district heating in
The surplus heat is converted by channelling steam into pipes that run parallel to pipes containing cold water. This heats the water to 65 degrees before it reaches consumers’ radiators. Hornsyld Klimavarme, the district heating company, is also establishing a heat pump that can function as a backup if additional heat is needed.
Many of KommuneKredit’s borrowers make environment-friendly and sustainable investments that contribute to society’s green transition. At KommuneKredit, we are keen to support the transition by attracting investors who prioritise green investments.
“Hornsyld Klimavarme is a modern heating cooperative based on new technologies, strong local ties and a societal mindset that has its roots in the thinking of the old cooperative societies. Our hope is that the project can serve as an inspiration to other local communities in Denmark.”
