Summary
Construction work began on the Koehler Group’s combined heat and power plant in Oberkirch with a ceremonial ground-breaking on 21 April 2023. The existing power plant is expected to be expanded and converted by fall 2024 to ensure biomass is burnt in an environmentally friendly way in future. This conversion is part of the Koehler Group’s climate strategy.
Decarbonizing energy and steam generation is part of the Koehler Group’s climate strategy. The inaugural test run of the converted lignite power plant at Koehler Paper’s site in Greiz was launched at the end of March with a visit from Wolfgang Tiefensee, Thuringia’s Minister for the Economy, Science, and Digital Society. The site now uses fine wood fraction, a more environmentally friendly and sustainable fuel that will save 24,000 metric tons of CO2 per year.
