Description
The project was developed by Siemens and is currently owned by Wien Energie with a stake of 100%.
The project generates 160GWh electricity and supplies enough clean energy to power 50,000 households, offsetting 144,000t of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) a year.
The process of combustion has been adopted in this combined heat and power (CHP) project to release the stored energy from the feed. Wood by-product is used as a feedstock to power the project.
Development status
The project got commissioned in October 2006.
