Overview
Heizkraftwerk zur Papierfabrik is an 18.1 MW gas power plant in Germany, operated by Delkeskamp Verpackungswerke GmbH. It supplies energy to a paper factory.
Heizkraftwerk zur Papierfabrik is a gas-fired power plant located in Germany, with a capacity of 18.1 MW. It is owned and operated by Delkeskamp Verpackungswerke GmbH, a packaging company, and is integrated with an industrial paper mill. The plant operates under the EU Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU) and must comply with Best Available Techniques (BAT) conclusions for large combustion plants. As a gas-fired facility, it benefits from lower CO2 and pollutant emissions compared to coal or oil plants, though its relatively small capacity places it in the small-scale segment of the German power generation sector. The plant's primary role is to provide heat and power for the adjacent paper production process, improving overall energy efficiency through cogeneration. This industrial integration reduces grid dependency and supports the local manufacturing economy in the region.
Environmental context
The plant uses natural gas, which produces lower CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions compared to coal or oil. Its location near a paper mill allows for efficient combined heat and power generation, reducing overall environmental impact. The facility is subject to stringent EU emission limits and BAT requirements, ensuring modern pollution control measures are in place.
Frequently asked questions
Heizkraftwerk zur Papierfabrik is located in Germany, near the town of Nortrup, at coordinates 52.6180 N, 7.8619 E.
It is a gas-fired power plant with a capacity of 18.1 MW, primarily used for combined heat and power generation for a paper factory.
The plant is owned by Delkeskamp Verpackungswerke GmbH, a packaging company.
The plant must comply with the EU Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU) and relevant Best Available Techniques (BAT) conclusions for large combustion plants, which set limits on emissions of NOx, SOx, and particulate matter.
By operating as a combined heat and power (CHP) plant, it provides both electricity and thermal energy to the paper mill, achieving higher overall efficiency than separate generation.
