One of Germany’s most modern gas-fired power plants has been located in Bremen since 2023. swb has completed a highly efficient combined heat and power plant (CHP) at the site in Bremen-Hastedt.
Climate-neutral by 2035 remains the clear goal. The new combined heat and power plant replaces a coal-fired unit, significantly reducing CO2-emissions. It is also intended to ensure security of supply in the long term. As long as renewable energies are not yet available in sufficient form, generating energy from gas is an important technology for swb.
The power plant will be technically capable of using biomethane or hydrogen in addition to regular natural gas.
