Aurora Fission Oy supports early-stage feasibility and coordination for municipalities and utilities exploring emerging clean-heat technologies, including SMRs.
Finland is retiring peat/coal capacity by 2030 and targeting carbon neutrality by 2035. Northern cities require reliable, zero‑carbon base heat that complements renewables.
Aurora Fission acts as a vendor-neutral feasibility coordinator. We support early-stage analysis, stakeholder alignment, and structured pathways for municipalities and utilities evaluating emerging clean-heat technologies.
Early‑Stage Feasibility Framework
A structured, vendor‑neutral approach for evaluating emerging clean‑heat technologies, including SMRs, within long‑term district‑heating planning.
Municipal Needs & Heat‑System Analysis
High‑level mapping of heat demand, baseload requirements, transition timelines, and decarbonization goals.
Academic & Stakeholder Coordination
Collaboration with municipalities, utilities, universities, and experts to support a research‑driven feasibility process.
Roadmap & Next Steps
A clear outline of recommended actions for technical studies, regulatory consideration, and long‑term planning.
A conceptual pilot exploring how a clean-heat modular unit could integrate into Oulu’s district-heating system as a stable, non-combustion heat source.
High-level assessment of potential siting options, integration pathways with the existing network, and alignment with long-term municipal heat-planning objectives.
A preliminary evaluation package outlining feasibility questions, key technical considerations, regulatory aspects and recommended next steps for deeper study—developed to support municipal decision-making.
LUT Energy Systems & VTT for heat‑demand modeling, safety research, and grant collaboration.
Technology vendors (SMR and other clean-heat solutions) and other SMR providers to align technical parameters and licensing pathways.
Municipal and regional district heating companies provide the primary interface for offtake, system integration, and local stakeholder coordination.
