EnBW is leading an innovative project in Altbach/Deizisau, Germany, with the construction of a new combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant. This development is a crucial step towards the future implementation of low-CO2 or green hydrogen by the 2030s. The initiative involves transitioning the site's electricity and heat production from coal to gas, starting in 2026. To ensure a continuous energy supply to households and industry, EnBW sought competent partners, ultimately choosing Mammoet for their expertise in power plant construction. Mammoet's tailored engineering concept includes just-in-time delivery, handling, and installation of various components. A 1,350-tonne crawler crane and specialized equipment will facilitate efficient construction processes. The project's innovative approach also involves the construction of a temporary jetty to streamline fuel loading. Andreas Franzke, Mammoet's Sales Manager & Segment Lead Power in Germany, highlights the collaborative efforts between the client and project team, emphasizing a secure energy supply and streamlined construction processes. This transformation project not only marks a significant shift towards green hydrogen utilization in Germany but also sets a precedent for future energy transition projects worldwide.
