EEW Göppingen Biomass Power Plant | Göppingen, Germany

EEW Göppingen is a biomass power plant located in Göppingen, Germany, with a capacity of 11 MW. The facility is owned and operated by EEW Energy from Waste Göppingen GmbH and is currently operational. As a waste-to-energy plant, it plays a role in the region's renewable energy mix. The plant operates under the EU Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU, which sets strict emission limits for waste incineration. Best Available Techniques (BAT) are applied to minimize environmental impact. The 11 MW capacity places it in the small-to-medium scale for biomass plants in Germany. By converting waste into electricity, EEW Göppingen contributes to waste management and energy recovery in the Göppingen area. Its operation supports Germany's Energiewende (energy transition) goals by providing a reliable source of baseload power from a renewable source.

The plant's use of waste as fuel reduces landfill volumes and methane emissions, while generating electricity. However, waste incineration produces CO2, SOx, and NOx, which are regulated under the EU Industrial Emissions Directive. The facility's location in Göppingen, a city in Baden-Württemberg, means it serves a populated area, requiring stringent emission controls to protect local air quality.
