As part of the company’s internal sustainability strategy, the company is expanding its existing energy supply with several wood gasification CHP units, biomass boilers, a large buffer storage and several PV systems. The aim is to generate climate-friendly and renewable electricity and heat to supply the company’s own production halls.
In order to replace the climate-damaging fuel lignite with CO2-free heat, the site managers decided to connect the plant to the local district heating network of N-Ergie. In addition to the conversion of the heat supply, several optimisation measures in the local heating network were also investigated in order to achieve the maximum CO2 savings.
In the project different approaches to waste heat utilisation were analysed technically and economically. Waste heat sources and sinks were compared and concepts were developed, for which the funding possibilities according to the “Bundesförderung für Energieberatung im Mittelstand” were researched.
