A driving force in unconventional energy sources
Outotec offers a wide range of energy-related design and consultancy services,
including the Enefit oil shale process developed jointly with Eesti Energia
U
tilizing its extensive experience in plant
design and project implementation as
well as its expertise in combustion and heat
recovery, Outotec now offers value-adding
technologies and services to the energy
industry with a view to renewable resources.
After decades of providing expertise and
innovation to the mining and metallurgical
industries, Outotec realized that its capabilities,
technologies and proprietary equipment
could be expanded to include the energy
sector. Offerings include unconventional oil
winning, coal charring/gasification, and combustion
technologies for various plants, such
as oil shale pyrolysis or biomass combustion.
Since 2009, Outotec and Eesti Energia
have been involved in a joint venture called
Enefit Outotec Technology to develop and
commercialize an oil shale solution known as
Enefit. The new solution covers the entire oil
extraction chain, including energy-effective
waste management.
Enefit innovative technologies provide the
path to optimized solutions and complete
plants for the production of shale oil, high
heating value gas, and electricity. Providing
beneficiation, oil winning and energyeffective
waste management, Enefit Outotec
Technology offers complete plant solutions
and plant optimizations.
In addition, Outotec and the Swedish
company Skellefteå Kraft AB have also established
a joint company, GreenExergy AB,
which focuses on developing, marketing and
delivering technologies for bio-energy power
plants to produce bio-energy from forestry
and sawmill residues.
Outotec maximizes energy efficiency in
all of its processes that operate at elevated
temperatures by utilizing heat from off-gas
generated in other plant areas as an energy
source. This reduces the carbon dioxide
emissions of plants using Outotec technology.
Thus, for all thermo-processing plants,
the company offers heat recovery and gas
cleaning systems.
As a leading global provider of process
solutions, technologies and services for
Enefit shale oil plant in Estonia
the mining and metallurgical industries,
Outotec utilizes its extensive experience
and advanced process know-how by providing
plants, equipment and services based
mainly on proprietary technologies. Outotec
works in close partnership with customers
to provide proven, environmentally sound
and energy-saving solutions for the entire life
cycle of their plants.
