INNIO Jenbacher to supply gas engines for two SynCraft wood gas power plants
In Austria, INNIO Jenbacher has received two new orders to supply gas engines for innovative SynCraft wood gas power plants. As a result, the two Tyrolean companies, who have collaborated on successful joint projects for many years, have set another milestone in the growing use of biomass for power generation. SynCraft wood gas power plants equipped with Jenbacher gas engines are already successfully operating in Austria, Germany, Italy, Croatia, Switzerland, and Japan, with new projects in Germany, Austria, and Japan currently at an advanced stage of planning.
INNIO will supply two Jenbacher J412 gas engines, each with an electrical output of 500 kW, for the two new SynCraft wood gas power plants in Upper Austria. Each year the two units will process a total of 6,000 metric tons of residual wood from the wood industry into 7,000,000 kWh of renewable power and 10,000,000 kWh of heat. The two power plants will generate a total 7,000 metric tons of CO2 savings1 annually.
They are of a similar scale to the recently commissioned wood gas power plant belonging to Croatian furniture manufacturer TERSA which is installed in the old warehouse at its former sawmill. Here a total of up to 3,000 metric tons of residual wood are converted into 3,000,000 kWh of power, 4,500,000 kWh of heat energy, and 400 metric tons of biochar each year, saving a total2 of up to 3,000 metric tons of CO2 annually. The wood gas power plant has a total efficiency of up to 92%.
