Kalundborg District Cooling

Sustainable Cooling Innovation

Amid the growing challenges of climate change, Kalundborg is stepping up with a forward-thinking approach to energy efficiency. By embracing cutting-edge district cooling technology, the region is redefining sustainable industrial practices, paving the way for a greener and more resilient energy future.

Efficient and Sustainable Cooling for Kalundborg’s Industrial Growth

To support the industrial development in Kalundborg, the project was initiated to serve new and existing production facilities with efficient and sustainable cooling. Kalundborg Forsyning, the local multi-utility, took upon itself to develop a new utility service line, district cooling, and develop it from scratch.

The project included a 166 MW seawater cooling solution that supplies the industrial facilities of Novo Nordisk and other with cooling. 

Devcco assisted KALFOR with business structuring, system architecture and commercial matters in the initial stage of business development. Our team planned and executed the service development process and procedure, paving the way for the successful establishment of the district cooling company and service. 

To ensure smooth operations, We also designed a robust governance structure. This structure enables efficient project review, resource allocation, and timely approval to execute the project. Moreover, it ensures that mandates are assigned and enforced promptly, contributing to effective decision-making and project management. 

Lastly, the Devcco team supported brokering the development agreement between the utility and the future cooling clients, to enable an efficient process with commitment and contribution from all parties. 

The project is currently under construction and will, come 2025, be ready to deliver sustainable cooling for the continued developments in Kalundborg.

The project has included investments of approx. €250m in seawater intake and district cooling network and will replace the existing cooling towers at the industrial facilities.
