Espoo, Finland, 25 May, 2022 — Sumitomo SHI FW (SFW) has been awarded a contract to deliver a new 77 MWt bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) boiler plant to Jämtkraft AB in Sweden. The new boiler will be part of the Lugnvik plant in Östersund and will use biomass as fuel ensuring secure supply of heat and power to Jämtkraft customers. It will also contribute to an increased production of renewable electricity as one third of the energy production of the plant will become electricity and two thirds district heating.
