Hybrid Boiler

The energy transition creates framework conditions which call for increased flexibility and better redundancy.The hybrid boiler is a large-scale electrification solution for industrial companies, replacing natural gas steam production with steam from renewable electricity at a time when it is in surplus.

The unique thing about the hybrid boiler is the ramp up speed of 30 seconds on a scale of 25 MWe making it a commercially very attractive product for deployment to flex- and spare capacity markets.

• Instantaneous switch over from electric to gas firing and vice versa
• Steam conditions up to 50 bar(a), 500 °C
• Benefits from low electricity prices
• Hybrid boiler can operate at imbalance market
• Technology is part of SDE++ portfolio (2020)

• Industrial steam producers: large, typical ETS-sized company
• Considerable E-connection essential (e.g. old CHP connection)
• Steam consumers with considerable electrical connection and access to the flex markets

• 25 MWe Hybrid Brownfield
• Fuel cost saving and CO₂ 600K EUR
• CAPEX (turnkey) 1,500K EUR -> R.O.I (excluding subsidy) <3 years

• Electrification
• Being able to buy electricity and natural gas at a more economical rate
• CO₂ reduction: 5500 tons/year (at 25 MWe Hybrid Boiler)

• Improving operations by increasing redundancy
• Better (greener) image
• Ability to optimize and switch between sources (gas and electricity). Therefore less depending on gas, electricity and ETS costs

• Custom designed boiler solutions installed at various customers within Europe
• Technology ready for launching customer
