Espoo’s district heating will be carbon neutral by 2029.
The production of district heat generates most of the city’s emissions. The joint Espoo Clean Heat goal of Espoo and the energy company Forum, which produces energy in the city area, involves transitioning to fully carbon-neutral district heat production during the 2020s. The use of coal for energy production will already cease in 2025. Carbon-neutral district heating is produced with renewable energy sources and by utilising waste heat.
