The CW1800x2-1000 plant realized by SYNCRAFT has a total output of 1,000 kW of electrical energy and 1,410 kW of thermal energy. It is equipped with four drying bunkers, a moving floor bunker and the building sections for the wood gas production plant and the combined heat and power plant. Adjusted to the heat requirement, the power plant generates around 6 million kWh of electricity and more than 7 million kWh of heat per year. The climate-neutral electricity, which corresponds to the annual consumption of around 1,500 four-person households, is fed into the grid. The process heat is fed into the district heating network via a system. This means that almost 20 percent of Wahlstedt's heat comes from the Reversepowerplant.
