Said Mayor Dr. Peter Paul Ahrens rejoiced when he NRW Climate Change Minister Johannes Remmel presented the certificate as CHP model community NRW.

Together with fifty other cities and towns located Iserlohn had participated in the multi-stage competition for cogeneration model community of NRW Environment Ministry. The basic concept of the city Iserlohn was selected for funding.

Object-CHP (Objekt-KWK) seems to be a new (German) term I have not seen before mentioned referring to Micro-CHP.
There are ten fuel cells systems mentioned.

The above link has a page http://www.kwk-kommune-iserlohn.de/was-ist-kwk/objekt-kwk/ (Objekt-KWK) which has the following (translated) which must be referring to 10 BlueGens (i.e. up to 2kW):


Object-CHP
In the object-CHP is fuel cells, which are housed in existing buildings. These may be single-family homes, companies or public buildings. New buildings are therefore not usually necessary. These so-called micro-CHP systems have an electrical output of up to 2 kW.

In a flow of hydrogen fuel is produced by a chemical reaction. As a by-product of this process is created instead of harmful emissions, only water. As part of the CHP model community Iserlohn efficient solid oxide fuel cells are (SOFC) planned in ten municipal buildings in Iserlohn city.


So good to see our BlueGen breaking out in a new German district.
