Vattenfall Heat
Vattenfall Heat Southern Greater Stockholm Safety, Health and Environment 2014 District heating in our municipalities Heat Sweden is a business unit within Vattenfall AB, whose main business is district heating. Our customers include property companies, housing associations, homeowners, industries and public premises such as, for example, schools, swimming pools and libraries. The business covers the entire value chain: production, distribution and sales. We also offer district cooling and steam. The latter is used in industrial processes and to dry grain, for example. By generating electricity and heat simultaneously in our CHP plants, we utilise the resources more efficiently, which in turn reduces the impact on the environment – It’s simple, it’s convenient and it reduces emissions of CO2 Vattenfall supplies district heating in Haninge, Tyresö and Älta, and in Gustavsberg on the island of Värmdö and Fisksätra in the municipality of Nacka. District heating is secure, simple and convenient. Heat generation, which is derived almost exclusively from biofuels, is efficient, and environmental emissions are low. As well as heat we also generate CO2 neutral electricity at our CHP plant in Jordbro. The above-mentioned operations are grouped under the plant area Southern Greater Stockholm within Vattenfall AB Heat. höver Allt du bevärme veta om era olika ras på fl produce Värme kan dig hur. Vi visar sätt. 2014-12-17 VATT 3181 En varm tanke A5.indd 15:22 With district heating, a small number of furnaces with effective flue gas cleaning heat a large number of properties. Consequently, the emissions to air, soil and water are considerably lower than they would be if each individual property was heated by its own boiler. The types of fuel we select also ensure that we utilise nature’s resources efficiently. The heat plant in Jordbro comprises of two base plants: a CHP plant and a wood powder boiler. The CHP plant generates heat and electricity exclusively from biofuels. The Jordbro plant is Vattenfall’s second largest district heating plant in Sweden. We have five plants in the Gustavsberg area. We plan to bring everything (apart from the Hästhagen stand-by plant) together in the Ekobacken industrial area. 1 Read more about district heating at vattenfall.se Good partnership with municipalities The district heating is distributed in three networks. The biggest of these includes Haninge, Tyresö and Älta in Nacka municipality. There’s a separate network in Fisksätra, which is also in the municipality of Nacka. The third network is the Gustavsberg network. We have a good partnership with the four municipalities in which we operate. This means, for example, that when new properties and residential areas are being planned, we can help achieve effective energy solutions with good environmental performance. Reduced environmental impact is important The municipalities impose stringent environmental requirements. We meet these requirements and are in favour of them. They help us maintain high standards of operation and maintenance. We have the technology. All we have to do is to work systematically. Strict requirements call for order and organisation, which produces good results and ultimately is profitable. Our objective is to constantly reduce our environmental impact and to improve safety in our plants. We are certified in accordance with ISO 14001 (environmental certification), AFS 2001:1 (work environment certification) and OHSAS 18001 (international standard for work environment certification). These certifications indicate that we are actively working on our environmental and work environment management systems and that we have clear procedures for reducing our impact on the environment and improving safety. Through the Fair District Heat Quality Mark we have undertaken to meet specific requirements in terms of transparency and communication with customers and other stakeholders, particularly when it comes to reporting on how our operations affect the environment. Visit a heat plant A modern heat plant is an advanced production facility, which is both exciting and educational to visit. We are happy to show visiting groups our business. Johnny Friman Head of Production, Vattenfall Heat Southern Greater Stockholm Environmental auditor SP, the Technical Research Institute of Sweden AB, is a SWEDAC accredited body for the certification of environmental management systems and work environment management systems. In 2014 it audited Heat Sweden Operations’ certified management systems. Vattenfall Generation Sweden Southern Greater Stockholm forms part of this management system. SP concluded that the management system meets the requirements of the standards SS-EN ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 and AFS 2001:1 2 Vattenfall Heat Southern Greater Stockholm Safety, Health and Environment 2014 Safety, Health and Environment 2014 Vattenfall Heat Southern Greater Stockholm 3 A rapid expansion in Gustavsberg Gustavsberg is one of the fastest growing municipalities in Sweden. 2,500 new homes are currently under construction, along with other new buildings. In total we supply 47.6 GWh in Gustavsberg, which is the equivalent of district heating for about 10,000 newly built apartments. In order to meet our customers’ needs, we are securing our supply capacity and building for future demand. A lot is going to happen within the next three years. Five plants around Gustavsberg We have five plants and a coherent network in the Gustavsberg area. The base load plant in Ekobacken has one wood chip boiler and one biogas boiler. The wood chip boiler produces heat from wood chips and we have biogas from Kovikstippen. As we also extract energy out of the flue gases, and simultaneously re-use the water in the steam, we make maximum use of the fuel at the same time as purifying the fumes and reducing emissions. The population of Gustavsberg is set to rise, and Vattenfall is taking steps now to ensure that it can meet this increase in demand. We currently supply district heating to around 75 per cent of households in Gustavsberg. 4 Vattenfall Heat Southern Greater Stockholm Our fuel and emissions The basis for our heat production is wood fuel, what we Safety, Health and Environment 2014 Safety, Health and Environment 2014 call solid fuel, i.e. wood chips or pellets and briquettes. Landfill gas, bio-oil and wood pellets are used as fuel in the smaller plants. Forward planning Installation of a new bio-oil boiler in Ekobacken with various peripheral equipment is underway and will be in operation in the second quarter of 2015. We have converted the sewage system at the Ekobacken plant for surface and waste water. Re-using more water in our own process enables us to reduce the amount of water that is discharged into the sewage disposal system. An increasing number of inhabitants in the municipality means that we have initiated a project to increase the production capacity in Ekobacken. If everything goes according to plan, commissioning is planned for late 2016. In parallel with the technical procurement, discussions are underway with the permit authorities regarding a new environmental permit for increased capacity. Vattenfall Heat Southern Greater Stockholm includes the operations in Haninge, Tyresö, Älta, Fisksätra and Gustavsberg. Vattenfall Heat Southern Greater Stockholm 5 Large, well-managed district heating network in Haninge and Tyresö KPIs Gustavsberg The base load plant in Gustavsberg is Ekobacken, which comprises of a landfill gas boiler and a wood chip boiler with flue gas condensing. The total output is 11 MW. In addition to the base plant in Ekobacken we have peak load plants in Hästhagen, Mölnvik and the plumbing, heating and sanitary (VVS) facility. The Jordbro plant is Vattenfall’s second largest district heating plant in Sweden. The CHP plant, which runs at full capacity all year round except during the summer, generates both heat and electricity from renewable energy sources. 100 Environmental and work environment-related KPIs and goals are high on the agenda in our operations. Examples 80 of KPIs and goals in Southern Greater Stockholm’s operations are: overtime, number of incidents and accidents, staff well-being, emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide, as well as water and electricity consumption.

The latest report is presented in more detail on the Swedish District Heating Association’s website, svenskfjarrvarme.se. As well as emissions of CO2 from the plant, this data includes templates for emissions of the greenhouse gases methane and nitrous oxide, converted into CO2 equivalents. An emission factor has also been added for the electricity which the plant buys in. * The Heating Market Council, VMK, comprises of: Fastighets ägarna, HSB, Hyresgästföreningen, Riksbyggen, SABO and Svensk Fjärrvärme. 6 20 % Bio-oil (11,54 GWh) Vattenfall Heat Southern Greater Stockholm 4 % Pellets (2,42 GWh) 1 % Fossil oil (0,59 GWh) 0 Losses: 14 % Conversion and distribution losses.

Comparative figures for emissions Emissions for a detached house heated with district heating from Jordbro CHP plant and with a consumption of 15,000 KWh are about 0 kg CO2 and about 4 kg NOX per year. As a comparison, a new car₁ in Sweden that is driven 15,000 kilometres a year emits approximately 2,000 kg of CO2 and a return flight from Arlanda to Bangkok for a family of four persons emits about 4,500 kg CO2 into the atmosphere. 3/ An average car uses 0.55 liters of petrol per 10 kilometers, which produces 136 g of CO2 per km according to www.trafikverket.se 4/ The Swedish Transport Agency refers to www.icao.int Safety, Health and Environment 2014 The heat is primarily produced at the CHP plant in Jordbro, which consists of two base plants: a CHP plant and a wood powder boiler. The Jordbro plant is Vattenfall’s second largest district heating plant in Sweden. The CHP plant produces both heat and electricity from renewable energy sources (43 MW of district heating and 20 MW of electricity). The fuel used is recycled wood chips, which are produced by crushing waste wood. The CHP plant is run at full capacity all year round apart from during the summer. The electricity turbine generated 112.5 GWh in 2014, which is the equivalent of the annual consumption of electricity for 5,600 detached houses. The next step in the chain is the wood powder boiler, where pellets or briquettes are ground into powder and sprayed into the fire. It is put into operation when the outdoor temperature is a few degrees below zero. If it gets even colder, the back-up plant in Bollmora, at the other end of the district heating network, is also started. It is fired with bio-oil. Our fuel During 2014, our production in the Haninge and Tyresö network has been completely carbon dioxide-neutral. The plants are fired with wood pellets, wood briquettes, bio-oil Safety, Health and Environment 2014 and wood chips. The fuel for the base generation is recycled wood; wood which, for example, is discarded at refuse dumps. About 60% comes from the local area (Södertörn), while the rest is imported (mainly from England). Wood briquettes are remnants from the sawmill industry that are pressed into pellets or briquettes. Twelve trailer-loads a day of recycled chippings are delivered to the CHP facility and about the same amount to the powder boiler. They are driven directly into the plants and unloaded indoors, which prevents dust being spread all over the surrounding area, and means that no storage space is needed for the fuel. The just-in-time concept is used, with slot times within one hour, and it works very well. There are two major roads and the distances involved are short. Maintenance and fuel issues are high priority. Availability in the plants is consequently very high. Forward planning We are planning to add flue gas condensing to the CHP plant. The flue gases are extremely hot. By utilising the heat, production can be increased by 10–14 GWh, at the same time as the flue gases are purified and in turn the emissions are reduced. This sort of energy extractor of flue gases is quite large and is estimated to cost SEK 40–60 million. It will require a new environmental permit, which will take at least a year from when the application is submitted. The extension is anticipated to be in operation in late 2016. For the last few years we have been working on a project which has the aim of recycling waste water from the entire Jordbro plant. It has significantly reduced water consumption. Vattenfall Heat Southern Greater Stockholm 7 KPIs – Haninge and Tyresö Fuel Solely biofuels 100 Since 2007, solely biofuels have been used for production of district heating and electricity in Jordbro. Environmental and work environment-related KPIs and goals are high on the agenda in our operations. Examples of 80 KPIs and goals in Southern Greater Stockholm’s operations are: overtime, number of incidents and accidents, staff well-being, emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen60oxide, as well as water and electricity consumption. KPI for energy supplied, in kg/MWh = g/kWh The Haninge and Tyresö network consists of two plants. One in Jordbro and one in Bollmora. The plants are combined in a shared network with interconnecting piping. The base load plants in the network are a CHP plant which is fired with recycled wood, and a wood powder boiler, both in Jordbro. Apart from district heating, the CHP plant also generates electricity. For peak load and back-up, there are five bio-oil-fired boilers, two in Bollmora and three in Jordbro. 40 20142013 2012 2011 20 CO2 0 0 0 0 CO2 7,74 – – – NOX 0,16 0,19 0,20 0,18 1/ 68,5 % Recycled wood (493,6 GWh) 100 Energy supplied 84 % District heating (451,9 GWh) 80 60 40 28 % Wood briquettes, pellets (199,47 GWh) 20 2/ 0 Explanation 1/ CO2 = carbon dioxide emissions according to ETS 2/ CO2 = carbon dioxide emissions according to VM NOX = nitrogen oxides kWh = kilowatt hour MWh = megawatt hour (1,000 kWh) GWh = gigawatt hour (1,000 MWh) TWh = terawatt hour (1,000 GWh) This year we’re reporting CO2 emissions in accordance with two different systems: on the one hand, as in previous years, in accordance with the emissions trading system ETS, and, on the other, in accordance with the Heating Market Council (VMK)*.

It is an environmentally-consciousness company and a member of SABO, the Swedish Association of Public Housing Companies, which initiated the SABO Energy Challenge. The Challenge entails affiliated companies reducing their energy usage by 20 % by 2016 from the base year of 2007. efficient fans with recycling, started changing to windproof windows, improved insulation etc. and we are also intending to utilise the district heating to preheat the washing machines’ hot water, says Christoph Vejde, CEO of Haninge Bostäder. – With regard to the SABO Energy Challenge, we are one of the companies with the lowest energy usage per m² A-temp in relation to the age of the property. We will not be able to fully achieve the target of a 20% reduction, but will end up close to it. We have finetuned our plants, changed to more modern and energy – The staff I have met and been involved with from Vattenfall have a positive attitude to customers, which makes our contacts significantly easier, and the fact that district heating works so well and is convenient means that at present we can’t see any reason to change either supplier or heat source, says Christoph Vejde. Christoph Vejde, – We are proud of the fact CEO Haninge Bostäder that the CHP plant in Jordbro has electricity and district heating production with no emissions of fossil carbon dioxide. For us it is important to work towards a sustainable society. So where heating pipes are laid in the ground, we make sure to connect up district heating to new builds. We feel that district heating is both simple and reliable, but also a goodvalue alternative. Losses: 25 % Conversion and distribution losses. Heat losses occur during production and on distribution.

Vattenfall Heat Southern Greater Stockholm 11 Safety and health How heat reaches you District heating is distributed to households and premises by transporting hot water in well-insulated pipes under high pressure to a central unit in each property. The central unit contains a heat exchanger that utilises the hot water partly to heat up the building’s radiators and partly to heat the hot water in the taps. The cooled district heating water is fed back to the district heating plant to be reheated and pumped out into the district heating system again. District heating is flexible as resources are utilised that would otherwise be lost and a number of different fuels can be used. District heating provides a secure supply and frees up space in the home. Customers have low maintenance costs and can quickly obtain help. The building’s heating system Water is pumped round the property’s closed heating system. It is heated in the heat exchanger by the district heating water. One of Vattenfall’s guiding principles and core values is safety. We therefore actively monitor, inspect and improve our internal working environment, our processes and our security of supply in relation to customers.

The two water systems are entirely separate from each other. 12 Vattenfall Heat Southern Greater Stockholm Safety, Health and Environment 2014 As a tool for our improvement measures, we work according to a certified and integrated management system (OHSAS 18001, AFS 2001:1 and ISO 14001). The system does not just take technical and physical aspects into account, but also psychological and social circumstances. Every year we are inspected by external auditors who check that we are complying with applicable legal requirements and that we are operating a functional and effective management system for safety, health and the environment. We manage risk factors such as heat, steam, hot ashes, Safety, Health and Environment 2014 heavy shipments and chemicals on a daily basis in our plants. One of the fundamentals for our improvement work is the incident reporting system, which facilitates follow-up and rectification of incidents and deviations. Employees’ heath is important Our work has produced results. During 2014 we had no accidents that resulted in sick leave. Viewed over a longer time interval, the incidence of injuries within our operations is very low and we also have a low level of sick leave. To further reduce our sick leave, we are working actively to reduce overtime. We have a functional rehabilitation process, which identifies the need for rehabilitation and necessary measures at an early stage. We also encourage staff to engage in health-promoting initiatives. Examples of other measures are that the vehicles we use in operations must be no more than ten years old and equipped with an alcohol lock for increased personal safety, and also that our staff undergo training in safe and fuel efficient driving. Vattenfall Heat Southern Greater Stockholm 13 Fuel and ash Our district heating network We work in a number of ways to economise on raw materials and the energy our operations require to deliver our products. Improving the efficiency in our plants is one way of reducing consumption of raw materials. We are therefore continuously engaged in finding a more optimum combustion in our plant. The work is largely performed by our own staff and to some extent by specialist suppliers.

Considering the photosynthesis, managed properly all nutrients circle and the important carbon dioxide goes back to nature. 14 Vattenfall Heat Southern Greater Stockholm Safety, Health and Environment 2014 Our district heating network is modern, despite some parts having been built as early as the 1960s. The network is well-maintained. We invest about SEK 10 million per year in replacing old pipelines to ensure deliveries of heat to our customers. There is a high security of supply in the networks. During last year unplanned stoppages comprised a total of just a few hours. Where possible the networks are designed with so-called ring mains so that there are alternative supply routes if pipes were to be damaged. Our largest network, with an overall length of 120 kilometers, is located in Haninge and Tyresö. It extends from Håga industrial area in Västerhaninge to Tyresö Strandskolan in Gamla Tyresö and to Älta in Nacka municipality. Despite its length, the network has relatively minor energy losses thanks to the large delivery volumes and the effective distribution. The network’s water volume is some 12,000 cubic metres. The district heating pipes in the ground consist of steel pipes through which the district heating water is transported. The steel pipe has an outer layer of polyurethane foam insulation, which in turn is covered by a plastic outer tube. In the summer the water that is supplied to our customers maintains a temperature of about +75°C and in a really cold winter +120°C. When the water returns to the heating plant it has a temperature of between +40°C and +60°C.
