About
Founded in 2003, BHKW Buchen is a private headquartered in Buchen, Germany specializing in Biomass.
BHKW Buchen GmbH operates a biomass combined heat and power (BHKW) facility in Buchen, Germany. The plant processes incoming wood material by shredding it to maximum edge lengths of 30 centimeters, with automatic separation of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The prepared biomass is combusted in a biomass boiler at temperatures exceeding 850°C. Heat exchangers convert the resulting flue gases to steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator for electricity production. Flue gas cleaning equipment ensures compliance with German emissions standards (17. Bundes-Immissionsschutzverordnung). Residual materials including fly ash and spent sorbent are collected in storage silos for underground disposal. Electricity generated is fed into the EnBW grid under the EEG (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz) framework. The facility is jointly owned by Flohr AG Neuwied and INAST Abfallbeseitigungs GmbH Mosbach.
