BMW Landshut receives combined heat and power plant

The generator will produce its own electricity with a continuous output of 2.68 MW. Using highly efficient combined heat and power generation, 2.37 MW of heat will be fed into the operating grid. The decision in favor of the CHP module from GE Jenbacher was made on the basis of a tender with a subsequent efficiency comparison over the predicted service life.

The CHP plant is part of an overall concept for the production site with the aim of increasing energy efficiency and reducing pollutant emissions. In conjunction with the use of waste heat from the foundry and the generation of cooling via absorption chillers, BMW is thus realizing a lighthouse project in the region that will also be a benchmark for other production sites in the automotive industry. The project is being implemented as energy-saving contracting by a consortium consisting of the companies Siemens and Ulrich Müller with Gammel Engineering GmbH as planning partner.
