When surplus heat becomes a local resource

At Daka SARVAL, surplus heat from production is utilised as part of the district heating supply in Løsning.

The heat is delivered directly to Løsning Fjernvarme and is integrated into the existing district heating network, where it replaces other heat production and is used for heating homes in the local area.

In 2024, SARVAL delivered approximately 10,800 MWh of surplus heat to the district heating network – equivalent to the annual heat consumption of nearly 600 households.

The surplus heat originates from the production processes and is supplied continuously while operations are running. The solution has been established and has been part of the cooperation with the local district heating company for several years.

For Daka, it is about utilising the energy that is already present and letting it become part of a local energy system – close to both production and consumption in the local area.
