EnBW Energie is progressing towards a more sustainable energy future with the construction of a hydrogen-ready gas-fired power plant at the Stuttgart-Münster site. The plant is currently undergoing the 'hot commissioning' phase to test and adjust the gas turbine before full operation in 2025. This initiative aims to replace coal-fired boilers and heating oil-fired turbines to make district heating generation in Stuttgart coal-free. EnBW's project manager, Ramona Bogenschütz, highlights the significance of transitioning from coal to gas and eventually to hydrogen to reduce CO₂ emissions and ensure a sustainable energy supply. The plant forms part of the Mittlerer Neckar district heating network, serving a large number of residential, commercial, and public buildings in Stuttgart and the region. EnBW plans to switch two more power plant sites from coal to gas as part of their commitment to halve CO₂ emissions by 2030, showcasing their dedication to environmental responsibility and decarbonization efforts.
