Kristianstad Swede
n uses no fossil fuels for heating. Instead they uses biomass from farming leftovers. 80,000 homes heated by biomass and not fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas! And this is an area of the world where it gets VERY COLD !
Since solar and wind would not be effective in Kristianstad they worked with biomass. " ... remains from farming ... manure, potato peels, pig intestines, and even cookies, .... to create biogas ... a certain type of methane, ... heat of the entire city, and to provide electricity for the city as well."
The driving force for the move away from fossil fuels was to protect their environment and they did not want to import fossil fuels from abroad.
