7 More history 1980 district heating from bio energy. GWh Oil Biomass Peat Electricity Flue gas condensor successful co-operation with the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation decision to be Fossil Fuel Free Växjö. Växjö Energy Ltd

8 Every day work Environmental programme local goals adopted by unanimous City Council in 2006, revised 2010 Projects financing partly from National and European level ecobudget environmental management system (EMS) since 2003
