MaMa Växtkraft aims to increase energy efficiency in building heating by utilizing local resources, primarily wood chips, for district heating production. The project is based on a circular system where the local community collaborates to provide materials and reduce dependence on imported resources and long-distance transportation. The company has already successfully established a solution in Skurup and sees potential to scale the model to more municipalities through a franchise concept.
