Jenbacher gas engines Deutsche Borse Group Eschborn, Germany Cogeneration units power one of world's leading exchange organizations Jenbacher cogeneration technology was installed atop 21 stories—on the rooftop of the new office tower for Deutsche Borse Group in Eschborn, near Frankfurt, Germany. These two JMS 412 cogeneration units provide 1.6 megawatts (MW) of electrical and thermal (heating and cooling) power to support one of the world's leading exchange organizations, ensuring a secure and efficient supply of energy. In warmer months, hot water from the cooling circuit of the two cogeneration plants will serve as drive energy for two absorption chiller devices. During cold seasons, this thermal power will be utilized to meet the building's heating requirements. The plant will be fueled by natural gas, a cleaner-burning alternative to other fossil fuels, to support Germany's environmental initiatives. And, surplus electricity will be sent to the regional grid to increase energy reliability for the Frankfurt area. The initiative supports the European Commission's goal to adopt more stringent environmental targets for member countries to help Europe achieve a 20 % reduction in emissions by 2020. The European Union, in recent years, has begun urging member states to modernize their industrial and municipal cogeneration systems to improve energy efficiency and curtail regional emissions. The new onsite power plant will also enhance the energy security of operations that play a vital role in supporting Germany's economy every day. This project is a prominent showcase of the progress being made by Germany's business and government sectors to support the European Union's (EU) emissions reduction and energy efficiency goals.
