Biomass heating in Obereggen

Since 2007, ten hotel establishments in Obereggen and the headquarters of Obereggen Latemar SpA have been supplied with heat by a district heating system powered by wood chips.

Before the biomass district heating system was introduced, the connected buildings consumed around 500,000 litres of heating oil per year. Today, the district heating network uses wood chips as its energy source to supply the connected buildings with heat throughout the year.

Particular attention was paid to keeping emissions from the heating process low when the district heating system was built. For this reason, the plant was equipped with modern flue-gas cleaning systems.

The district heating system has been in operation since 2007 and supplies the connected hotels and the headquarters of Obereggen Latemar SpA with heat.
