Clewor Oy in Finland invests in emission-free steam production

Industrial laundry company Clewor Oy reduces its carbon dioxide emissions and switches to emission-free steam production. According to the preliminary schedule, Elstor Oy will deliver the power-to-heat heat storage system to Clewor in February 2026.

The system produces heat and steam cost-effectively with renewable electrical energy, utilizing the cheapest electricity prices of the day.

The investment is a significant step in Clewor’s responsibility strategy. With the new technology, Clewor ensures an emission-free production process in terms of heat and steam production, when CO2 and particle emissions will be 0% due to the investment.

– After the investment has been realized, we are the only privately owned production facility in our industry that can produce its services emission-free in terms of steam production, says Annastina Liedes, Clewor’s business manager.

By operating responsibly in accordance with environmental values, Clewor generates even more value for both customers and partners.

— Continuous development of responsible business is important to us both from the point of view of strategy, values ​​and also our valid certificates, Liedes concludes.

Elstor Oy is satisfied with this 9th – and this year’s 5th – delivery contract in the company’s history. Producing industrial high-temperature heat and steam in an emission-free and cost-effective manner usually requires the introduction of just such an electrically operated high-temperature storage. Finland as a country – and we as Elstor Oy as a company – are among the top in the world in terms of the number of these implementations, says Elstor Oy CEO Kari Suninen.
