In Germany, E.ON and MM Neuss announced they commissioned what it claims to be Europe’s first fully automated, large-scale CHP plant. For the first time in Europe, a CHP plant of this size is being fully controlled by an intelligent control solution and operated in a market-oriented manner, E.ON said. “With the CHP plant in Neuss, we are setting new standards for sustainable energy supply in the industry. By combining state-of-the-art CHP technology, digitized control with E.ON IQ Energy, and hydrogen readiness, we are creating a future-proof infrastructure. The system is more than just a power plant – it is a beacon of modern energy infrastructure and demonstrates how industrial partners can be reliably, flexibly, and efficiently supported on their path to climate neutrality,” said Manfred Wirsing, member of the management board of E.ON Energy Projects. The firm noted that the power plant was designed for hydrogen compatibility from the outset. Already today, a hydrogen content of 10% can be used in the fuel mixture. In the future, the plant can be converted to up to 100% hydrogen operation, it added.
