almet's key partnership with Veolia in Poland's HeatUp! project aims to enhance the efficiency of an EC4 combined heat and power plant. The project utilises Valmet's flue gas condensing heat recovery system to capture over 50 MW of energy from flue gases, significantly increasing the plant's thermal efficiency and sustainability.
This initiative is part of Veolia's broader GreenUp program, which seeks to decarbonise the city's heating system and phase out coal use entirely by 2031. The project is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by over 82,000 tonnes annually and is a key step towards achieving climate neutrality in the energy sector.
Veolia’s HeatUp! project is a cornerstone of its wider GreenUp program, which aims to decarbonise the city’s heating system and phase out coal use entirely by 2031. The initiative also supports Veolia’s long-term vision of climate neutrality for the energy sector in Poland. According to Veolia’s management, the project will deliver renewable heat equivalent to a one-third increase in heat output without raising biomass consumption, further lowering environmental impact and ensuring secure heat supply for Łódź residents.
Valmet’s involvement underscores its strategic focus on sustainable energy technologies. By combining condensing heat recovery with high-efficiency heat pumps and advanced automation, the company aims to deliver optimised lifecycle performance and strengthen its position as a key partner in circular and low-carbon energy solutions.
