Heatmasters Is Contributing to Lahti’s Carbon Emissions Cut Down

Kymijärvi III plant in Lahti is replacing Kymijärvi I plant from the 1970s. By replacing the old coal-fired combined heat and power (CHP) plant with a 190-megawatt bioheat plant, the city of Lahti is reducing its carbon emissions by 600 000 tons annually. Adding to that, Lahti has been chosen as the EU Green City in 2021.

Heatmasters has been working on the site for the last 18 months. In the photo, the annealing of the last pipe weld from the beginning of September. The first test runs with the new boiler burners and fuel receiving stations took place already in June. Test runs and commissioning will last until the end of the year.
