After the "Kessel 12" plant was commissioned in 2016, the modernization of the ultra-modern Flensburg power plant portfolio will continue with the construction of "Kessel 13": The plant is scheduled to go into operation in 2022 and replace two more coal boilers ahead of schedule. From a technical point of view, these should continue to be operated for up to ten years, but will go into early retirement shortly after the commissioning of boiler 13. "Boiler 13" will reduce CO2 emissions by 40% while generating the same amount and enable the municipal utilities to save up to 120,000 t of CO2 annually. The cost of this project: around 108 million euros. Stadtwerke Flensburg is thus taking the next significant step towards a significant reduction in CO2 emissions with the aim of CO2-neutral energy generation. Stadtwerke Flensburg initiated the phase-out of coal with the “Kessel 12” project. With the construction of "Kessel 13" they are consistently continuing on this path. Boiler 12 with an efficiency of over 90% Die Details der neuen Erdgasanlage zeigen den technischen Fortschritt: Mit einer Fernwärmeleistung von 89 MWtherm bzw. 97 MWel wird der „Kessel 13“ einen Wirkungsgrad von über 90 % erreichen. Das liegt noch einmal rund 10 % über den alten Kohlekesseln. Moderne Gaskraftwerke anderer Stromerzeuger, die nur Strom produzieren, weisen zum Beispiel Wirkungsgrade von maximal 60 % auf. Durch die gemeinsame Produktion von Strom und Fernwärme wird der Brennstoff in Flensburg extrem gut ausgenutzt und die Stadtwerke können die hohe Effizienz ihres Kraftwerkes noch einmal deutlich steigern. Vier von fünf Kohlekesseln in nur sechs Jahren stillgelegt Overall, with the construction of "Boiler 12" and "13", four out of five coal boilers will be shut down in just six years. The last remaining coal boiler will be able to retire a few years later. Stadtwerke Flensburg, for example, will implement the coal phase-out well before 2038 much earlier than planned by the federal government. With their two natural gas-powered systems "K 12" and "K 13", the municipal utilities then cover the Flensburg district heating supply with up to 80% natural gas. Natural gas emits significantly less CO2 than coal and can therefore contribute to achieving Flensburg's climate protection goals.
