Aalborg Energie Technik a/s (AET) is to deliver a turnkey biomass-fired Cogeneration Plant in France. The ground breaking ceremony was performed at the site of the Gemdoubs paper mill in Doubs, in the region Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, where the new CHP plant will be situated.
The plant consists of fuel handling, AET Biomass Boiler, steam turbine, flue-gas cleaning system and steam connection to Gemdoubs.
The CBN plant will supply steam to the paper mill for its production process, in which waste paper is recycled and used for producing cardboard boxes and packaging material.
CBN benefits from the abundance of wood in the vicinity, and the wood used as fuel will be sourced within a radius of 100 km from the plant, thereby also creating work in the local wood supply industry.
The construction costs of the CBN plant of Euro 87 million, has been financed through a non-recourse loan.
AET is a leading independent engineering and contracting company supplying biomass fired boiler plants, power plants, and CHP plants within Europe.
