"Municipal Fuel Cell Initiative (07/08/2013)
Heinberg is a pioneer in the energy transition

A local initiative aims to Heinberg promote the launch of fuel cell technology and thus support the North Rhine-Westphalian town on the way the energy turnaround. Together have closed under the auspices of the City Mayor Wolfgang dihedral Heinberg and the company Alliander, Ceramic Fuel Cells (CFC), Jürgen Hohnen and Heinsberger Volksbank. "With fuel cell technology especially Heinsberger companies, but also private households can produce their own electricity efficiently and economically and thus help to make the energy transition Heinberg affordable," says Wolfgang dihedral.

The advantage here is that the fuel cell manufacturer CFC and the Dutch network operator Alliander have their registered office in Germany Heinberg. The network operator has already tested the fuel BlueGen of CFC. The units generate electricity with an excellent electrical efficiency of up to 60 percent. Thus, energy costs and CO2 emissions compared to the reference from the grid can be reduced by up to half. BlueGen devices produced from natural gas or biomethane up to 13,000 kilowatt hours of electricity and up to 5,200 kWh of heat per year.

For Alliander CHP plants are based on fuel cells because of their uniform operation netzstabilisierender an important factor to compensate for the fluctuating feed-in of wind and solar power. Therefore, the operator of the electricity network Heinsberger promotes the installation of a total of 100 fuel cell systems with up to 4,000 euros.

The local People's Bank under the initiative provides for attractive financing involving the country's development program progres.nrw. Customers can purchase a BlueGen heating from 11,000 euros net.
