Dollbergen Biomass Power Plant

At the site in Dollbergen/Lower Saxony, we built a biomass combined heat and power plant with Koehler Renewable Energy GmbH in 2019/2020. The biomass combined heat and power plant, planned on the basis of the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG 2017), went online in May 2020 and produces approximately 67,860 megawatt-hours of electricity. The total investment was €42 million.

In Dollbergen, natural wood is burned, which simultaneously generates electricity and process steam using combined heat and power technology. The materials used include landscape conservation wood, roadside wood, residual forest wood from mechanical processing, wood chips, and industrial residual wood, as well as screen overflow from composting. Approximately 130,000 tonnes are required here per year.

The advantage of the location directly next to the customer AVISTA OIL, the supply of steam to the customer, and the high level of expertise of the partners in the development, planning, and operation of biomass power plants make this project extremely attractive for all parties involved.
