Description
The project was developed by Siemens and is currently owned by Wien Energie.
The project generates 160GWh electricity and supplies enough clean energy to power 45,000 households, offsetting 144,000t of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) a year. The project cost is $74.13m.
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.
