Hammarby, a demonstration of closed-loop metabolism concepts

Policy Case

Last updated: Dec 7, 2021

Summary

The Hammarby Sjöstad district in Stockholm was designed around the closed-loop metabolism concept, which embraces synergies among water, energy, and transportation services. The district is heated by purified waste water, combustion of household waste and biofuel; once heat has been extracted from waste water, it is used for cooling. The biogas produced is used to run local transit.
