Hamar Industrial & Business Park is a designated priority area for circular industrial symbiosis. New value chains are developed here through efficient use of energy, resources, and collaboration between companies. Hamar Business Park is located in direct proximity to high-temperature energy sources. The park has a diverse business environment with around 100 companies and 1,700 employees, as well as an active business association. The area offers approximately 28 hectares of shovel-ready land, fully developed with infrastructure and ready for new establishments.
Hamar Business Park is particularly well suited for companies that can utilize thermal energy (heat) in their processes, have moderate power demand (typically 0.5–5 MW), and can replace electrical energy consumption with heat.
An Established Environment – Ready for Growth
Hamar Industrial & Business Park combines:
- shovel-ready sites and fully developed infrastructure
- access to thermal energy
- strategic location close to major transport routes
- an established and collaborative industrial environment
This provides a strong foundation for companies seeking energy-efficient operations and future-oriented solutions.
Circular Development and New Value Chains
Hamar Industrial & Business Park facilitates industrial
symbiosis where:
- surplus energy is utilized across companies
- heat replaces electrical energy where possible
- new actors connect to existing energy flows
This results in lower energy costs, reduced power demand, and a stronger sustainability profile.
Development Opportunities
We welcome dialogue with companies interested in developing new industrial concepts, including:
- extraction of vanadium and other metals from
deposited alum shale
- further processing of industrial residual streams
- development of new circular value chains
Suitable for Heat-Based Industrial Processes
Below are examples of industries well suited for Hamar Industrial Park, with typical temperature ranges:
Food production and greenhouses (20–40°C)
Controlled environments for vegetables, herbs, and specialty crops, where stable low-temperature heat ensures high productivity.
Land-based aquaculture / RAS (10–30°C)
Aquaculture systems requiring stable temperatures and continuous energy supply.
Industrial washing and cleaning processes
(40–90°C)
Processes with steady heat demand, well suited for heat-based energy supply.
Food processing industry (60–100°C)
Production processes requiring heat for pasteurization, cooking, and cleaning.
Drying processes (60–120°C)
Efficient drying of timber, biomass, and agricultural products.
Material recycling and circular industry (40–120°C)
Processing of materials where heat can replace electrical energy.
Bioindustry and chemical processes (80–150°C)
Fermentation, enzyme production, and other processes with moderate temperature requirements.
Construction and building materials (40–80°C)
Production of prefabricated elements requiring controlled curing.
Higher Temperature Processes – Suitable for Direct Heat Utilization
Steam-based processes (120–200°C+)
Industrial steam for sterilization, distillation, and process heating.
Advanced industrial drying (100–200°C)
High-temperature drying of biomass, sludge, waste, and raw materials.
Distillation and thermal separation (100–200°C)
Separation processes in chemical, beverage, and bio-based industries.
Process air heating (100–300°C)
Production of hot air for industrial processes and drying systems.
Preheating of raw materials (100–300°C)
Preparation of input materials in chemical and materials industries, reducing energy demand in core processes.
Thermal treatment and circular processes
(200–500°C, partial)
Processes such as pyrolysis, carbonization, and advanced material treatment, where external heat can be used in startup and stabilization phases.
