Biomass
Statkraft operates a biomass cogeneration plant in Emden, Germany. Green energy is generated by the thermal recycling of used wood.
CO2-neutral, climate-friendly alternative to fossil fuels
The CO2 stored in the wood during photosynthesis is released again by the combustion. Wood is therefore CO2-neutral and offers a climate-friendly alternative to fossil fuels. The emissions caused by the combustion are cleaned and are subjected to strict controls.
