Askersund produces heat, and was commissioned in 1993. Askersund's heating plant is part of Motala's business area and can be monitored and remotely controlled from the control room at the CHP plant in Motala.
Biofuel is primarily used in the form of locally purchased forest fuel. To maximise the conditions for efficient combustion with low emissions, the fuel is quality controlled through random sampling and visits to suppliers.
