Fiche récapitulative
The project will finance several investments in Hamburg district heat system, such as: - investment in the network (including heat storage of 2000 MWh capacity in Energy Park Tiefstack) - fuel conversion of 267 MW coal-fired cogeneration or combined heat and power (CHP) plant to biomass in Energy Park Tiefstackand - construction of a 60 MW Billwerder Bucht heat pump.
The key objectives aim at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and lower air pollution. by modernising the district heating systems and replacing fossil-fuel based central heating with a more sustainable and efficient renewable generation (heat pump, biomass boilers).
Fuel conversion project requires a full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The environmental aspects of the programme will be appropriately assessed as part of the EIB's appraisal process.
