Construction of Scholven 1 (2019-2024)
Sener managed the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) for the Scholven 1 plant in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. This natural gas cogeneration facility replaced the former Scholven coal plant, one of Germany’s largest, and is designed for future hydrogen conversion.
This combined heat and power (CHP) plant provides district heating, industrial steam, and electricity. to industrial clients across the region via interconnected heat and power networks, achieving a fuel efficiency of up to 91%.
Key benefits of the Scholven 1 plant include significant reductions in CO2 emissions and other pollutants, along with decreased noise pollution, thanks to the underground gas supply pipelines.
In collaboration with auxiliary plants in Gladbeck-Zweckel, Recklinghausen, and Westerholt, Scholven 1 will provide the region with electricity, industrial steam, and district heating, serving as a pivotal element in the future transformation of the area’s energy infrastructure.
Feasibility study of the transition to hydrogen (2024-2025)
In partnership with Siemens Energy, we are conducting a feasibility study to convert the plant from natural gas to hydrogen.
This study explores the potential use of hydrogen in gas turbines and boilers, aiming for a substantial decrease in CO2 emissions and advancing our goals toward energy transition and self-sufficiency.
