MAN Energy Solutions
Summary
At a signing ceremony in Germany, Dr. Uwe Lauber – CEO of MAN Energy Solutions – and Andreas Feicht – CEO of RheinEnergie – have signed the supply contract for Europe’s largest river-water heat pump at RheinEnergie’s Cologne-Niehl production site. The project is valued at EUR 280 m.
With its investment, RheinEnergie is making a major contribution to the decarbonisation of the largest district-heating network in Cologne, to which the German federal government and the European Union are contributing a total of EUR 100 m. This covers the entire city centre, including the Deutz district on the right bank of the Rhine, characterised by high-density apartment buildings.
At the signing, Feicht said: “We rely on heat-pump technology because it is proven, reliable, and highly efficient. Of itself, the plant would already be exemplary in terms of tapping the dormant energy-potential of Germany’s major rivers. But by choosing this location and the opportunity to combine it with facilities based on gas- and steam-turbine technology, we are creating an energy system of the future for Cologne’s centre that balances sustainability and climate protection with security of supply and affordability. After all, the different systems and energy sources complement each other perfectly.”
