Description
BHP Biomasse Heizwerk Pegnitz GmbH operates a central biomass heating plant directly at the Tank & Rast Fränkische Schweiz/Pegnitz freeway service station, which works exclusively with renewable raw materials. The aim is to supply the service area with climate-friendly district heating - completely renewable
The plant is based on a powerful biomass boiler with a thermal output of 900 kW - a reliable centerpiece behind the energy supply. An oil boiler is also available for peak load times or as an emergency reserve - for maximum availability, even in exceptional load situations.
🔧 Highlights of our solution:
- Sustainable heat supply directly on the A9 motorway:
- District heating for the service area - low-emission, locally generated and at the same time a strong signal for environmentally conscious mobility.
- Powerful biomass core:
- 900 kW thermal output ensures a reliable supply - highly efficient, decentralized operation and suitable for district heating.
- Hybrid operation with reserve option:
- Oil boiler supplemented to cover peak loads - flexible, robust, reliable.
- Expert support right from the start:
- Concept development, planning and implementation by Gammel Engineering with a focus on technical integration and operational optimization.
đź’ˇ Why Pegnitz is a key project for us:
We show how sustainable energy generation can be integrated directly into transport infrastructure - in parallel with comfort and ease of operation.
Our technical planning combines regenerative heat with high availability - ideal for public users.
With Pegnitz, we are laying another building block for decentralized energy transition along German freeways - a contribution to sustainable mobility.
