Steam and air conditioning supply

NACE code 35.30 covers the industry of steam and air conditioning supply, which plays a crucial role in the broader energy and utilities sector. This industry is responsible for the generation, collection, and distribution of steam and hot water for heating, power, and other industrial purposes. It is an essential component of modern infrastructure, supporting a wide range of economic activities and contributing to the overall efficiency and sustainability of energy systems.

The main production techniques used in the steam and air conditioning supply industry involve the generation of steam or hot water through various means, such as boilers, heat exchangers, and cogeneration plants. These facilities utilize fuels like natural gas, coal, or biomass to produce the necessary heat, which is then distributed through a network of pipes to end-users. The steam or hot water can be used for space heating, industrial processes, or the generation of electricity through turbines.

The key inputs required for the steam and air conditioning supply industry include fuel sources (e.g., natural gas, coal, biomass), water for the generation of steam, and specialized equipment such as boilers, heat exchangers, and distribution infrastructure. Additionally, this industry relies on skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and maintenance personnel, to ensure the efficient and safe operation of the production facilities.

The primary outputs of the steam and air conditioning supply industry are steam and hot water, which are distributed to various end-users. These outputs can be consumed by a wide range of other NACE codes, including 35.11 Manufacturing of electricity, 36.00 Water collection, treatment and supply, and 38.32 Recovery of sorted materials. The steam and hot water produced by this industry are essential for heating, industrial processes, and the generation of electricity, making it a critical component of the broader energy and utilities ecosystem.
