EnBW - Energie Baden-Württemberg AG has launched a high-efficiency fuel cell combined heat and power (CHP) plant at the geothermal site in Bruchsal. The project, developed in partnership with local utility Stadtwerke Bruchsal, features Bloom Energy's fuel cell system-the first of its kind to be commissioned in Germany. With an electrical efficiency of over 60 percent, the plant delivers 300 kilowatts of electricity and up to 160 kilowatts of thermal energy. This output is sufficient to supply approximately 850 two- to three-person households with electricity and around 65 single-family homes with heat annually. The initiative underscores Bruchsal's role as an innovation hub for future-oriented technologies, integrating cutting-edge research such as lithium extraction and advanced fuel cell applications.
