Forest-fresh wood chips are used for combustion in the heating plant. At the heart of the plant is a temperature-controlled, negative pressure counter-flow gasifier. The hot gases produced in the combustion chamber generate hot air via a heat exchanger, which is fed to a gas turbine and further heated by compression.
This generates electrical energy and heat, which is used to supply the Frankenalbtherme, for example.
