Strassen – Construction of the new biomass combined heat and power plant has started
The “Biekesbierg” site in Strassen, where LuxEnergie already operates a refrigeration plant and a wood gasifier, is being extended.
An energy plant, which will produce heat and electricity using a wood pellet steam boiler with a generator, is currently under construction. Commissioning is scheduled for February 2022. In addition, a workshop, a warehouse- and an office building, which will be used by LuxEnergie, will be built.
In future, water is heated to steam in a boiler with an hourly consumption of about 2 tons of wood pellets. A turbine uses this steam to produce annually 8,100 MWh of renewable electricity, which is fed into the public power grid. This corresponds to an average annual consumption of more than 1,600 households.
The heat extracted after the turbine in the condenser is used to generate hot water for the heat network. This extends from Strassen to Limpertsberg, is almost 20 km long and supplies about 140 buildings, such as hospitals, public buildings, office buildings and wholesale markets.
An efficient heat network from Strassen to Luxembourg-Limpertsberg
The CHP Strassen, together with an already existing wood gasifier, covers the base load, while the peak load is secured by the gas boilers from two other plants, the Josy Barthel Stadium and the Victor Hugo Hall. A total of 64% of the heat is produced from biomass, making the heat network an efficient one according to the EU directive. This project allows an annual CO2 saving of 13,000 tons. The wood pellets are supplied from the Kiowatt pellet plant in Roost.
Encevo to become partner of ArcelorMittal to decarbonise steel production
Encevo and ArcelorMittal enter a partnership to develop a biomass plant and heat valorisation project at ArcelorMittal steel plant site in Rodange
The Encevo Group, through its subsidiaries Enovos S.A. and LuxEnergie S.A. have signed with ArcelorMittal Belval & Differdange S.A. a Memorandum of Understanding on a cooperation concerning the development of a biomass plant and a heat valorisation project in Rodange.
Ecological conversion of the Dudelange energy plant
Since the year 2000, the Dudelange energy plant has been supplying via an underground heating network the “Brill” district and several buildings in the vicinity of the energy plant, such as the Centre Hartmann, the Lycée Technique Nic. Biever, the outdoor swimming pool, the Brill and Wolkeschdahl schools, the J.F. Kennedy Stadium and the CIPA Dudelange with heat.
After 20 years, the heat supply contract between “Cogénération Dudelange Brill S.A.” and LuxEnergie expired.
In a feasibility study, the installation of a biomass energy generation plant based on wood pellets was selected as a sustainable and economically viable solution for the future.
LuxEnergie won the resulting public tender in 2020.
Total heat production will remain unchanged at 10.5 MWh/a after the conversion.
To cover the base load, the two existing CHP modules will be replaced by two wood pellet boilers. This ensures that at least 83% of the heat will be produced from renewable sources in the future, which will reduce the annual CO2 emissions by about 2,000 tonnes.
The peak loads, which mainly occur in winter, will continue to be covered by the two existing gas-fired boilers.
The renovation work will begin in January 2021. Commissioning of the new plant for another 20 years is planned for October 2021.
We are pleased to present you our new website!
New design, target group specific information and of course ‘responsive’.
In addition to the changes in appearance and technology, we now address our two target groups, business and private customers, separately.
Energy Contracting, the basis of our activities, is presented to both customer groups with the help of new video animations.
Our business clients come from four sectors of the economy: public sector and municipalities, tertiary and industrial sector, health sector and property sector. We present our range of services per sector and round this off with current reference projects.
For private customers, we also have more practical information available, such as all the necessary documents to download, FAQs, details of payment options and all useful contacts.
In the ‘LuxEnergie’ section, you can find out more about our values, the main stages of the company’s development, the people responsible at LuxEnergie, our shareholders and subsidiaries. Further information such as current brochures, flyers, infographics and videos are available under ‘downloads’.
The presentation as a job provider is also particularly important to us. Interested parties will find all current job offers here and can also apply immediately.
We hope you enjoy exploring the site and would be delighted to welcome you here again and again. So you can find out which projects we put our energy into!
