The completion of this 2.1 MW biogas plant near Bad Oldesloe close to Hamburg, began a new chapter in MT-Energie's company history. It is the first plant that the biogas specialist has produced that is larger than 1.0 Megawatt.  With this, MT-Energie takes a large step in the direction of international competitiveness.  Also since the completion, MT-Energie has become an interesting business partner for large industrial customers, such as E.On and other energy providers.

The produced biogas powers four combined heat and power generators.  With the help of a micro gas net, the produced heat, as well as the electricity, is used optimally. Not only is the biogas plant supplied by the produced heat, but so are the entire town of Blumendorf and two larger industrial consumers.  This arrangement allows for three quarters of the available heat to be used.
