Welcome to Norbis Park – where we develop future energy solutions
New Facilities to Replace Coal
In 2017, the Strategy for Fossil-Free Heat Production was adopted by Aalborg City Council. The goal is to phase out coal and replace coal-based heat production with alternative methods. The strategy focuses on increasing the use of surplus heat, establishing larger storage facilities for flexibility, testing and implementing new technologies, and eliminating coal for heat production.
Aalborg Forsyning is currently establishing electric boilers, a seawater heat pump, and large storage tanks for district heating water.
These new facilities are being built in Norbis Park – a 100-hectare area in north of Denmark. Norbis Park is the headquarters of Aalborg Forsyning, and the land is used for the gradual transition from the coal-fired power plant, Nordjyllandsværket to a future-proof heat production based on surplus heat and solar and wind energy.
Testing and Developing New Technologies
The area will also be used to test, develop, and implement new technologies. Kyoto Group is testing a revolutionary salt battery in Norbis Park, and a large PtX facility is planned for the area, pending final approval.
The location of these facilities in Norbis Park allows Aalborg Forsyning to capture surplus heat and use it for district heating. This creates industrial symbioses, where one facility's surplus product can be used for production elsewhere.
Norbis Park has an approved local plan allowing facilities up to environmental class 7, and the noise limit values for the area are 70/70/70 dB for day, evening, and night. The area has a unique infrastructure, including connections to a 150 kV and 400 kV power line station, wastewater handling, and connections to potable and technical water.
The Wetland Area
The Wetland Area is environmental class 4-7. Currently, there are no facilities in this area, but it may be used in the future for industrial, utility, climate, and technical facilities.
The Power District
The Power District is environmental class 4-7. Currently, there are no facilities in this area, but it may be used in the future for industrial, utility, climate, and technical facilities.
The Science District
The Discovery District is environmental class 3-6. Currently, there are no facilities in this area, but it may be used in the future for various business purposes, such as energy facilities and technical installations, as well as administrative buildings, research, and educational facilities.
The Test Center
The Test Center offers opportunities to test and develop new technologies in smaller test fields. Kyoto Group launched the first facility in this area in 2022. In the coming years, more companies can test technologies in Norbis Park. Near the test center, Aalborg Utilities' electric boilers and seawater heat pump will be established.
