Description

Abstract
A plant tour will be organized by the conference to visit ENE Energi AB, a 100% biomass-fueled combined heat and power plant, located at Enköping. The city of Enköping is located between Stockholm and Västerås and has a population of 38,400 inhabitants with 1200 square kilometers with 46% farming and 38% forests land. The ENAE cogeneration plant has a capacity to produce 24 MW of electricity and 55 MW of heat including flue gas condensation for district heating for most of the inhabitants in the city. Fuel for the plant mainly comes from forest logging, saw dust from sawmills and paper industry residues. About 350 GWh/year of biofuel is supplied to the plant. The unique feature of ENAE is that about 10 percent is self-produced energy forest which integrates sludge from sewage treatment plant and ash for the cultivation. The dedicated energy crops absorb the nitrogen with contribution to nitrogen-emissions reduction by 20 ton/year, which otherwise would have contributed to the eutrophication of the Baltic Sea.
