Oilon’s 92 per cent envir­on­ment­ally friendly burner port­fo­lio

Oilon organ­ized an internal invest­ig­a­tion into the sus­tain­ab­il­ity of the company’s burner products. The primary start­ing point was the EU tax­onomy, which sets require­ments for invest­ments that support sus­tain­able devel­op­ment. The results were impress­ive: as many as 92 per cent of the company’s burner products met the cri­teria.

One of Oilon’s primary goals is to be a leading man­u­fac­turer of clean com­bus­tion tech­no­logy. The company alloc­ates more than 6 per cent of their turnover to product devel­op­ment. In recent years, Oilon has inves­ted heavily in heat pump tech­no­logy. However, clean com­bus­tion products con­tinue to play a crit­ical role in Oilon’s busi­ness.

“In the future, a sub­stan­tial portion of com­bus­tion will be replaced by electricity-​​based tech­no­logy, such as heat pumps and elec­tric boilers. This is espe­cially true in low-​tem­per­at­ure applic­a­tions,” says Oilon Group’s Chief Tech­no­logy Officer Joonas Kat­telus. There are still many applic­a­tions where com­bus­tion is neces­sary. In ships and planes, for example, fuels are an excel­lent way to store energy. They can also be used to balance out the supply and demand for heating. In such applic­a­tions, repla­cing fuels exclus­ively with bat­ter­ies is not sens­ible. Cor­res­pond­ingly, process and indus­trial applic­a­tions will con­tinue to require the high output tem­per­at­ures provided by com­bus­tion tech­no­logy far into the future.
