New Reversepowerplant in Gänserndorf

At the end of October, a new Reversepowerplant was officially inaugurated in Gänserndorf, Lower Austria. After nine months of construction, the SYNCRAFT type 500 plant is now shining in all its glory. Here, regional forest residues are used to generate renewable energy in the form of electricity, heat and green carbon. The plant feeds 500 kW of electricity into the public grid and supplies 750 kW of heat for the district heating network.

The green coal that is produced stores 30 percent of the original_CO2 that was contained in the wood. It is used in metallurgy or in building materials. In a carbon-preserving application, a long-term_{CO2 sink} is created. Reversepowerplants are therefore not only climate-neutral, but also actively remove_CO2 from the atmosphere by producing green carbon.

Together with our partner PurEnergy, we celebrated this special moment in style. Alfred Körner, Managing Director of PurEnergy, emphasized: "Only green electricity, heat and green coal are produced here. With the SYNCRAFT plant, we are taking a promising and climate-friendly path into the future."

Klaus Embacher from SYNCRAFT is delighted with the successful completion of the project: "Congratulations on the opening! We are proud to be able to accompany PurEnergy on this new path with our innovative technologies and experience."
