The generator will produce its own electricity with a continuous output of 2.68 MW. Using highly efficient combined heat and power generation, 2.37 MW of heat will be fed into the operating grid. The decision in favor of the CHP module from GE Jenbacher was made on the basis of a tender with a subsequent efficiency comparison over the predicted service life.
The CHP plant is part of an overall concept for the production site with the aim of increasing energy efficiency and reducing pollutant emissions. In conjunction with the use of waste heat from the foundry and the generation of cooling via absorption chillers, BMW is thus realizing a lighthouse project in the region that will also be a benchmark for other production sites in the automotive industry. The project is being implemented as energy-saving contracting by a consortium consisting of the companies Siemens and Ulrich Müller with Gammel Engineering GmbH as planning partner.
With deep sorrow and great respect, we bid farewell to an extraordinary and kind-hearted person who, with his loyal and confident demeanor, was always a role model for the entire company.
Today we celebrated a special anniversary: Florian Prantl has been with Gammel Engineering for 20 years. Over these two decades, technologies have changed, projects have evolved, and teams have been reorganized. One thing has remained constant: Florian Prantl is a reliable member of the Gammel Engineering team.
In 2026, Gammel Engineering was once again ready to head to the Gillamoos! Together with our partners, we kicked off the “fifth season” in Abensberg on Friday, as is our tradition.
