Aalborg CSP completed the strategic transition of its Low Temperature Division in 2026. The division now continues independently under the name Aalborg Heating & Cooling Systems, founded by Alois Müller Beteiligungs GmbH.
Aalborg CSP continues as an independent engineering and consulting firm specialising in thermal systems for energy and industrial decarbonization.
The FAQs below explain what this means in practice.
What does the transition of the Low Temperature Division mean?
Aalborg CSP's Low Temperature Division now continues independently under the name Aalborg Heating & Cooling Systems, founded by Alois Müller Beteiligungs GmbH. Aalborg CSP continues as an independent engineering and consulting firm specialising in thermal systems for energy and industrial decarbonization.
What was included in the transition?
The transition covers the Low Temperature Division in its entirety: district heating solutions, heat pump systems, and PTES lid technology. Around 20 employees transferred to the new company as part of the agreement.
Why did Aalborg CSP transition the Low Temperature Division?
Over time, the Low Temperature Division and Aalborg CSP's core engineering activities developed into two distinct businesses with different market focus and growth trajectories. The transition enables each to focus fully on what it does best. Aalborg Heating & Cooling Systems continues in district heating. Aalborg CSP focuses on thermal systems engineering for the energy transition.
What happened to the district heating solutions?
The district heating solutions previously part of the Low Temperature Division now continue independently under a name name: Aalborg Heating & Cooling Systems, an independent company established by Alois Müller Beteiligungs GmbH. The same team, projects, and expertise continue within the new company. For district heating enquiries, please visit www.aalborg-hcs.com.
What does Aalborg CSP do now?
Aalborg CSP is an independent engineering and consulting firm specialising in thermal energy systems for energy and industrial decarbonization. We focus on the following solution areas: coal plant repurposing, oil and gas electrification, renewable energy storage, industrial process heat, and nuclear thermal integration. Our work spans feasibility studies, pre-engineering, detailed engineering, procurement management consultancy, and construction and commissioning management consultancy. We also run an active R&D programme with several EU-funded projects at any time.
What is Aalborg CSP's specific area of expertise?
Thermal systems engineering working with temperatures from 100°C and up, with media including water, steam, molten salt, and thermal oil. We design and engineer systems where the physics is demanding, the integration is complex, and the engineering decisions are critical to performance. Our particular depth is in:
- Molten salt systems
- High-temperature steam generation
- Concentrated solar power (CSP)
- Thermal energy storage
- Industrial process heat
- Coal plant conversion
- Nuclear thermal engineering
Does Aalborg CSP do EPC?
No. We focus on engineering and consulting rather than construction delivery. That means our recommendations are always driven by what the project requires, not by a construction or supply scope. While we do not take on construction contracts, we support clients through the full project lifecycle, including procurement management consultancy and construction and commissioning management consultancy, where we act as the independent owner's representative from the early engineering phases through to handover. For clients, it means close to four decades of hands-on system knowledge on their side, with no commercial stake in the outcome.
Does Aalborg CSP still work with Alfa Laval?
Yes. The joint venture Alfa Laval Aalborg Header-Coil A/S continues unchanged. It develops and supplies advanced high-temperature steam generators and heat exchanger units for high-temperature power and industrial applications, based on the patented Header-Coil technology.
Does Aalborg CSP still have the BK Engineering department?
Yes. BK Engineering is a separate engineering department within Aalborg CSP and continues unchanged. The department has focus on provision of solutions for the Danish defence sector. BK Engineering is not affected by the transition.
I was working with Aalborg CSP on a high-temperature or R&D project. What happens now?
Nothing changes. Aalborg CSP continues from the same offices in Denmark and Spain, with the same team responsible for your project. All technical responsibilities, contractual commitments, and delivery obligations remain with Aalborg CSP.
Aalborg CSP is delivering a district heating project for us. What happens now?
All ongoing district heating projects continue to be delivered by Aalborg CSP until completion. Responsibility for future district heating activities transfers to Aalborg Heating & Cooling Systems. For ongoing delivery questions, contact your existing project lead. For new enquiries, visit www.aalborg-hcs.com.
Has the Aalborg CSP team changed?
No. Aalborg CSP continues with approximately 30 employees working across thermal engineering, R&D, and energy projects. The team in Spain remains unchanged.
I have Aalborg CSP registered as a supplier or client. Do I need to update anything?
If your relationship is with the engineering or R&D side of Aalborg CSP, no changes are needed. Aalborg CSP continues as the same legal entity with the same registration details. If your relationship was with the Low Temperature Division, records should be updated to Aalborg Heating & Cooling Systems, founded by Alois Müller Beteiligungs GmbH.
Who leads Aalborg CSP?
Aalborg CSP is led by Peter Badstue Jensen as CEO, supported by the same management team as before.
Where is Aalborg CSP based?
Aalborg CSP is headquartered at Hjulmagervej 55, 9000 Aalborg, Denmark, with an office in La Rinconada, Seville, Spain.
