Business success in Switzerland continues - new orders worth SEK 7 million

Business success in Switzerland continues - new orders worth SEK 7 million 

SRE, a subsidiary of Opcon AB, the energy and environmental technology Group,
today received an additional order for a flue gas condensation from a bioenergy
plant in Switzerland. The customer is the district heating plant owned by the
municipality in Winterthur, which by using Opcon's technology for waste heat
recovery will increase its energy efficiency by around 25-30% while
significantly reducing emissions of particles. 

Together with a new extra order from Enerbois this means new orders totalling
SEK 7 million within bioenergy from Switzerland. Since the breakthrough on the
Swiss market around 12 months ago SRE has now won orders worth SEK 34 million
within bioenergy on the Swiss market alone.

“Our breakthrough in the Swiss market around a year ago continues to bear fruit
and it shows the great export potential for Swedish energy and environmental
technology. We are now making major efforts within our Renewable Energy business
area to export this technology that we have developed in Sweden. SRE already has
customers in ten countries outside Sweden and we expect to break into a further
couple of new markets this year,” says Rolf Hasselström, President and CEO of
Opcon AB.

SRE is a part of Opcon's expanding Renewable Energy business area and its focus
on Waste Heat Recovery and Bioenergy, among other areas. SRE supplies systems
for treatment and improved energy efficiency at district heating plants powered
by biofuels, sawmills, pellets producers and commercial greenhouses. The company
also delivers treatment equipment to industrial companies and drying systems for
biomass. SRE's Renergi product system is based on heat recovery through flue gas
condensation and means both significantly reduced emissions and major energy
savings, where the capacity of a bioenergy-based boiler can be increased by
around 25-50% after upgrading depending on configuration, while emissions of
particles, for example are reduced.
