Find out moreReduce CO2 – burn waste wood instead of coal! Our concept study shows how the Bremen-Farge coal-fired power plant in northern Germany can switch to waste wood combustion as early as 2024.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is considered the main cause of climate change. Tractebel is therefore looking for solutions to reduce greenhouse gas. To that end, the coal-fired power plant in Bremen's Farge district is taking an innovative approach: waste wood is to replace emissions-intensive hard coal as a fuel. By switching to waste wood firing, the operator, ONYX Kraftwerk Farge GmbH & Co. KGaA (formerly ENGIE Kraftwerk Farge GmbH & Co. KGaA), aims to secure the site and jobs.
Coal-fired power plant finds ways to switch to waste wood
The next step is approval planning - a task that the team would also like to take on. "We are happy to support power plant operators in phasing out coal and making our contribution to the energy transition," says Hasselbach, explaining the company's commitment.
