Raumaster Selected as Key Constructor for Fortum’s Decarbonisation Project at Zabrze CHP Plant, in Consortium with Mostostal Kraków
Raumaster Oy has been selected as a technology provider for Fortum’s modernisation project at the Zabrze combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Poland. Together with consortium partner Mostostal Kraków, Raumaster will deliver comprehensive turnkey implementation of biomass unloading, storage and fuel-feeding systems.
This project will convert the plant’s fuel source from coal to certified biomass, aiming to reduce CO₂ emissions by roughly 70%. The initiative is designed to improve air quality and provide a dependable, environmentally friendly heat supply to the local community.
The total investment is approximately EUR 85 million, with agreements signed with three main contractors on Tuesday 2nd December 2025. Project work is expected to begin in spring 2026 and be completed by 2027.
As part of the delivery, Raumaster will provide a complete fuel handling solution, including biomass receiving stations, screening and crushing systems, storage silos, and conveyor systems. The scope also includes full installation and commissioning, as well as system electrification and all related installations. Raumaster’s scope also covers cutting-edge fire protection systems and sampling equipment, ensuring safety and operational reliability throughout the fuel-handling process.
“With decades of experience and an extensive portfolio of installations globally, we are prepared to deliver solutions suited to various fuel types and operational requirements. This project aligns closely with our core expertise. We look forward to supporting Fortum’s decarbonisation efforts and working alongside Mostostal Kraków” says Pasi Vuorinen, Managing Director of Raumaster Oy.
Mostostal Kraków, as consortium partner, is responsible for the architectural and construction design, as well as engineering and civil works aspects of the project.
“Our teams have already begun preparations for work on the contract. We believe that the combined strengths of our consortium, our know-how and the sharing of experience and expertise will result in investor satisfaction,” says Beata Ligas, Head of the Management Board Office at Mostostal Kraków.
Poland’s energy sector currently faces an important challenge in transforming district heating. Since 2021, Fortum has been systematically working to phase out coal across its facilities in the country. Raumaster’s role in this project reflects its ongoing commitment to helping customers meet their sustainability goals with innovative, reliable, and safe solutions for process industries worldwide.
