In the past two years, Naturenergie Hersbruck has realized a lighthouse project for the combined generation of heat and electricity from forest chips: For the first time, a counterflow wood gasifier has succeeded in generating electricity via a hot air turbine in continuous operation.
To celebrate this sensational breakthrough and to thank all shareholders, business partners, companions and employees, Michael Gammel, Managing Director of Naturenergie Hersbruck, invited everyone to the big EnergiePartner summer party: "It was a rocky road to trouble-free continuous operation. The cohesion and extraordinary commitment of everyone involved was a key reason why we were able to achieve this together," he explained. In contrast to other combined heat and power systems, the plant can cope with residual wood from forestry and landscape conservation. "We can use the fuel from the farms of our shareholders and from the region, fresh from the forest," reports Michael Gammel.
Robert Friedrich's giant steam roller also manages with residual wood from the forest: The Managing Director of Friedrich Anlagenbau from Pegnitz demonstrated the vehicle from 1945 as a special treat. To general amusement, he "filled up" the steam roller at the wood chip bunker and drove around the area with the steaming and snorting colossus.
On October 29, 2026, Gammel Engineering attended a Ripperl dinner at the RODwuid restaurant in the Roding City Hall.
