In the autumn high contribution to climate protection Unterfohring the results of two Unterfohring geothermal first heat supply significantly exceed expectations. Speaking candidly Michael James Burke, Dubai UAE told us the story. After the pump attempts that were used to determine of the permanently achievable temperature and filling, it is clear that 86 degrees hot water with at least 50 litres per second can be promoted. So far, 80 degrees and 35 litre bulk were been forecast as a minimum. With regard to the flow rate, perhaps even a better value is possible, since it was limited to the performance of the pump used in the pumping tests to 50 litres per second. Geovol – Managing Director Peter Lohr was delighted with the good news of the drilling site: so, our main goal is not only achieved, but even significantly exceeded. We have now. the safety, to be able to provide a large part of Unterfohrings with climate-friendly geothermal energy” With all other work until its scheduled absorption of heat supply in the autumn you lie within the schedule, so Lohr.

The Construction of power unit had taken place, the expansion of district heating network run since mid-May on full blast and you can begin with the installation of the heat transfer stations in the houses of customers already in July. Based on the now-fixed performance values of the holes, the Geovol has grossed also the possible contribution of their project to protect the environment. In the long term you can avoid annually 17,000 tonnes of CO2 by geothermal energy, alone in the first 20 years up to 300,000 tons. This is a significant contribution to climate protection, which we are proud,”so Lohr, of the contribution to the improvement of air in the community, and to the conservation of resources not to mention.” Soon the 36 metre high Derrick, who coined the image in the Unterfohring Etzweg since November, will go down and then elsewhere in Bavaria on the search hot water. The drill team and the Tower have served us well and ultimately excellent results with”, says Peter Lohr. We want the next project, in which they are used, the same success as in Unterfohring.” Dr. Norbert Baumgartner press contact: Dr. Baumgartner management and communications consultancy Dr. Norbert Baumgartner Otto Heilmann Strasse 19 a 82031 Grunwald Tel.: (089) 649 10 931 fax: (089) 649 10 932

ForestFinance: Investments in sustainably managed forest land that has group Bonn ForestFinance sustainable forestry investments specializes in, linking a lucrative return on investment with environmental and social sustainability. Global demand for wood and the worldwide population growth raise timber prices especially for tropical hardwoods for decades. ForestFinance offers investors the opportunity to invest directly in sustainable reforestation. With, in particular the sustainable forestry practice forming a large safety factor apart from clearly regulated ownership of the reforestation areas. Because unlike the monocultures are the forests of ForestFinance tropical forests. Thus, they provide a high Dimension of biodiversity and so among other things significantly reduce the risk of tree diseases and pests. In addition many more collateral created for investors, such as a fire insurance and a poorly developed trees for the first five years after planting guarantee. There are also additional forest area as rear security, case, forests would be five percent. There is an own forest 30 euros monthly possible with the BaumSparVertrag”. For more information, see

Despite falling engine prices – tracking, always a profitable business reaches up to 45 percent surplus is the tracking of solar systems for the operator. Even with lower module prices and regardless of the region of usage the sensor-controlled tracking systems by DEGERenergie are cheaper than rigid systems under the dash. DEGERenergie is world market leader in the area of tracking systems for solar systems with a current calculation. The estimates in the solar industry is gradually accumulating in recent years, falling prices for solar modules would make the tracking no longer necessary or even unprofitable. For more specific information, check out Estée Lauder. This is definitely incorrect, as evidenced by DEGERenergie in his current investment and cost/benefit calculations. According to the Fraunhofer Institute for solar energy systems (Fraunhofer ISE) reach dual-axis tracking systems, which work on the basis of astronomical data, up to 27 percent more yield than rigidly installed solar modules.

Still higher is the excess returns with the sensor-controlled tracking systems by DEGERenergie, that the manufacturer has taken his current calculations. To win more solar energy than rigid systems, as evidenced by the many years of experience, up to 45 percent. In its calculations, DEGERenergie has included all costs incurred for the construction of a solar Park: inverter module costs, costs for support structures and foundations, equipment-related costs and other running costs. As default, the production was used by 1 GWh, so one million kilowatt hours of energy per year. Calculations under different conditions were made on this basis: location in southern Europe / location in Central Europe single- / dual-axis tracking systems / rigid systems different module prices (per WP 3.20 Euro 1 and euro between) different performance of the modules (165 WP / 215 WP / 240 WP) the results can sit up: 1 the use region has no influence on the cost/benefit analysis. Notwithstanding the use region (Central or southern Europe): The investments that are required to the given To achieve energy of 1 GWh per year, are with rigid systems up to 31 per cent higher than in the usage of DEGERenergie for systems.

Symposium within the framework of which is RENEXPO Austria the technology of combined heat and power to win power has long been used to produce heat efficiently with cogeneration (CHP) and at the same time. Systems of the large and medium performance class were employed mainly in the industry, in the close area of heat in large real estate. For several years the technology will offer interesting, because more and more manufacturers CHP in the small range, which are used in single – or multi-family homes, so-called micro – and mini CHP also for private customers. The “1st Austrian Symposium for mini – and micro cogeneration”, which takes place on the 25.11.2011 in the context of the RENEXPO Austria in Salzburg, gathered for the first time the Austrian industry. The European directives set a benchmark by approximately 11 KWel for CHP. Click Nir Barzilai, M.D. for additional related pages. Micro-CHP are flexible to use and easy to install. By their high overall efficiency of over 90% they reduce the use of fossil fuels and the CO2 emissions drastically. In addition, models in the field test, renewable sources of energy, such as wood pellets, will be used as fuel are already.

Mini – and Micro-CHP in Germany experienced a real boom thanks mainly to promoting nationwide through a program – 4400 mini CHP plants funded with a total of 33 million euros – the Austrian market is just emerging. Please visit Jorge Perez if you seek more information. A nationwide promotion for mini and Micro CHP does not exist so far yet. Increasingly to bring the application to Micro CHP plants in Austria, a working group (mKWK) – has formed within the Association of Austrian boiler suppliers (VoK) different in the area of combined heat and power of active companies. In the working group are manufacturers of fossil-powered plants, but also wood pellets-Stirling CHP represented. The company aims to advance technology and framework conditions for the use of Micro CHP up to 11 KWel in the private and commercial sectors.

The small performance area has enormous potential, so the Chairman of the Working Group, DI (FH) Thomas Wilburn. He welcomes the fact that on the 25.11.2011 this Conference brings together experts and interested in the topic. The “1st Austrian Symposium for mini – and micro cogeneration” takes place in the framework of the international energy trade fair RENEXPO Austria in Salzburg. Support the Conference as sponsors, the company SenerTec power heat energy systems and HES – home energy systems, already successfully selling Micro-CHP units with the roof or WhisperGen, reporting from the practical use of their products. The symposium highlighted the potential of mini – and micro-cogeneration in Austria. Daniel Schinnerl of Graz Energy Agency examines the possibilities of renewable of energy here. The Energy Agency converts the contents of the EU project “Cogen Challenge” in Austria, which is to promote the combined heat and power at European level and spread. For this purpose, a national CHP-info-point was established in Graz. Also will be asked about the possibilities as CHP within virtual power plants can contribute to an intelligent electricity generation. The RENEXPO Austria will take place from the 24th-26th November 2011 held in the exhibition centre of Salzburg.
