Why pick Industriepark Höchst as the location for the plant?
There are many reasons why Industriepark Höchst is an ideal location for this kind of plant. There is a stable market for heat and electricity among the park’s tenants. Its highway connections are ideal since there is no need for trucks to drive through neighboring city districts and add to their existing traffic levels. What is more, Industriepark Höchst already has the infrastructure needed to operate this type of plant, which will help ensure compliance with the strict emission limits. Environmentally speaking, Industriepark Höchst is also a good location to operate a waste-to-energy (WTE) facility. Since the park’s tenants consume large amounts of heat and electricity, the RDF can be used more efficiently than in electricity-only production. While conventional power plants simply emit the waste heat from combustion into the atmosphere, the WTE plant will capture the heat and feed it into the park’s steam-pipeline network, where it will be used by park tenants in many of their produ
