Soapstone — a material with a long history in Finland — is primarily mined in the regions of North Karelia and Kainuu.
These rocks have exceptional thermal conductivity. Besides its efficient heat conduction, soapstone is also remarkable for its ability to retain heat, surpassing the performance of many other rocks.
This stored energy can then be released to provide reliable and sustainable heat for homes and businesses.
Joint research by the two companies has confirmed the suitability of crushed soapstone for use in Loviisan Lämpö’s Sand Battery.
