What makes this project even more special is its commitment to circular economy. The soapstone, a by-product of Tulikivi’s fireplace production, is repurposed to power a community.
Once ready, it will serve as a thermal energy source for power station Loviisan Lämpö’s district heating network.
“We’re very pleased to use a by-product of Tulikivi’s production instead of virgin materials for the Sand Battery, supporting the principles of circular economy. We have high expectations for soapstone’s performance,” said Tommi Eronen, CEO of Polar Night Energy.
