In Germany, moving away from coal through green cogeneration

Veolia is replacing a coal-fired power plant with two decarbonized units in Braunschweig, combining biomass and gas to heat 50,000 homes.
Use green cogeneration to moving away from coal, Braunschweig

A new generation of low-carbon power plants 

The project includes two cogeneration units: a biomass unit (60 MWth / 21 MWel) and a gas turbine (78 MWth / 68 MWel), connected to an urban network and energy storage facilities. 

A closed loop around recycled wood

The biomass fuel comes from a recycled wood processing plant built by Veolia nearby, closing the local loop.
