RAG Anthrazit Ibbenbüren GmbH Gas Power Plant, Ibbenbüren, Germany

RAG Anthrazit Ibbenbüren GmbH is a gas-fired power plant located in Ibbenbüren, Germany. With a capacity of 33.4 MW, it falls into the small-scale category for gas power generation in the country. The plant is owned and operated by RAG Anthrazit Ibbenbüren GmbH and is currently operational. The plant operates under the regulatory framework of the European Union's Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU), which sets emission limits for SOx, NOx, and other pollutants. As a gas-fired facility, it benefits from lower CO2 emissions compared to coal-fired plants, aligning with Germany's Energiewende policy promoting cleaner energy sources. This facility contributes to the local energy grid in North Rhine-Westphalia, providing a reliable source of power. Its relatively small capacity suggests it may serve as a peaking plant or support local industrial demand. The plant's operation supports Germany's transition to a more sustainable energy mix.

The plant uses natural gas as fuel, which produces lower CO2 emissions per MWh compared to coal or oil. Its location in Ibbenbüren, a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, places it in a region with moderate population density. The facility's small capacity (33.4 MW) limits its overall environmental footprint. Compliance with EU emission standards ensures controlled release of pollutants.
