Tampere’s innovative ecosystem and advanced infrastructure make the city an ideal location for a hydrogen plant: waste heat from hydrogen production can be easily utilized in the city’s efficient district heating network. This way, valuable energy is not wasted, but instead can be used to heat residential buildings and businesses in an environmentally friendly way.

This enables investors to improve their sustainability profile and increase their carbon handprint – their positive climate impact – demonstrating their commitment to the green transition.

No waste

The waste heat produced during hydrogen production can be efficiently utilized for city heating. In Tampere, where district heating is the predominant heating method, this system transfers waste heat from hydrogen plants to warm homes and properties, reducing the need to release it into the atmosphere.

Even more sustainable hydrogen production

By preventing heat waste, unnecessary thermal stress on the environment is avoided. Also, participating in a carbon-neutral heat production ecosystem allows hydrogen producers to enhance their positive environmental impact, further increasing their carbon handprint.

The infrastructure already exists

The Tampere district heating system has been meticulously built, developed, and maintained over the past 60 years. This well-established system is fully operational and prepared to incorporate waste heat from hydrogen production.
