Regenergy Frövi
Regenergy Frövi reuses industrial waste heat from a carton board factory in an innovative effort to produce vegetables in greenhouses. Not only does the method provide sustainable vegetables, but also a circular business model that can be easily scaled up. The future of sustainable food production is here.

Great sustainability benefits
Regenergy Frövi is a unique international establishment in Frövi and the municipality of Lindesberg, taking the circular and generative industry into the future. An important first step to establish a circular business model in Swedish industry. The effort can push the circular industry and the regenerative solutions forward with great sustainability benefits.
Not only will Regenergy Frövi create a lot of new green jobs in the Örebro region, but also increase the production of Swedish food, improving Sweden’s self-sufficiency. Cultivating food in greenhouses is not the only use of this effort. There are many more possible activities to be established with a circular model and the reuse of unexploited resources.
Valuable unexploited resources
By 2030, up to 53% of Europe’s energy could be lost as waste heat (Danfoss). Meanwhile, food production in southern Europe is under pressure, and imports continue to be high. The result is clear: we waste vast amounts of energy while moving food across continents, at a cost to both climate and supply security.
Regenergy Frövi was established to address this challenge by developing high-tech greenhouses powered by industrial waste heat.
