Together with our partners, we enable the transition to a low-carbon society. A long-standing example is found in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden. As early as the 1980s, local energy company Göteborg Energi installed a gigantic heat pump to turn wastewater into energy for district heating. The solution still runs and is now being upgraded to serve the city for many decades to come.
