Fjordvarme AS – A step into the future of renewable energy

Fjordvarme AS Norway is a Norwegian company developping a large scale concept for winning and using energy from the water in the fjord using heat exchangers and heat pumps (fjordvarme in Norwegian.  Fjordvarme AS was founded in 2003 and is mainly owned by the Nordfjordeid community and has invested heavily during the last 6 years to find out the best way to use sea warmth as a new energy source for heating and cooling buildings. Fjordvarme AS has developed new technologies and new ways of harnessing the energy in the fjord. Through Fjordvarme AS this concept will now be made available to other towns and cities. The Fjordvarme AS heating- and cooling system provides clean and renewable energy both to businesses, public buildings, sports facilities and private homes in the community center of Nordfjordeid.

38 projects are already in use with an average of a 50% reduction in energy use. (This is also an equivalent of about 5.000 tons carbon-dioxide from the start.) The concept of Fjordvarme AS is now developed and available to the market. The experience from the town of Nordfjordeid and other places means that it is easier and cheaper for other towns or companies to take it in use than it was before the pilot project in Nordfjordeid started.

The most important thing about this project is, that it proofs that it is not difficult or far-fetched to begin implementing renewable or environmental friendly energy systems. And it can save up to 75% of the energy used in old heating or cooling systems.
