Sustainable neighborhood supply at Kassel Airport
With Flughafen GmbH Kassel (FGK) has a Concept According to this, the supply of heating/cooling/electricity to the companies to be located in the future industrial estate 22 can be provided economically to a very high degree by renewable, local energy sources.
In particular, the Decentralized generation and production of energy and the Operation of our own neighborhood plant for the Kassel Airport business park.
With a company yet to be engaged by the FGK, it is planned to use the concept to determine the specific possibilities for decentralized energy generation and production on the property to be acquired with each prospective developer. This also includes examining whether the procurement of energy from other properties in the planning area or the supply of energy to them can lead to the achievement of economic and ecological synergy effects.
The search for appropriately oriented and networkable users has already begun. Among other things, the aim is to use the waste heat from the operation of a company - such as a data center - to heat other buildings and possibly also for production. There are also plans to make photovoltaic electricity, which is generated on all roofs and not fully consumed, available to other users in the district.
The FGK intends to engage an efficient partner from the energy industry to operate the district heating plant by means of a tender. The neighborhood plant is to ensure the supply of energy to the connected companies. Depending on the outcome of the agreement with the owners, the district heating plant can operate facilities owned by the company to be relocated. However, it can alternatively or additionally construct and operate its own systems - including on buildings or areas belonging to the company to be relocated (e.g. PV, geothermal systems or combined heat and power plants). Lines that are to be used to distribute the energy will be reached and operated by Quartierswerk or the owners, depending on the agreement. Arrangements must also be made for charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in the neighborhood.
