Ambivalent feelings of an energy researcher: At the Institute for Energy Technology at the East Bavarian Technical University of Applied Sciences Amberg-Weiden, Professor Dr.-Ing. Markus Brautsch is primarily concerned with combined heat and power plants (CHP) and combined heat and power (CHP). The Gammel Future Energy Team (GZET) spoke to him about the future of CHP in Germany.

Our authorized signatory, Dieter Lichtenberger, celebrated his 20th anniversary with the Gammel family on 01.01.2018. Today, we toasted the occasion with a small celebration.

Doesn't that sound great? "The regulation for limiting the EEG levy to 40 percent for new CHP plants is still the subject of constructive talks between the German government and the European Commission." Doesn't that almost sound like a Christmas present, what the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy BMWI announced on 19.12.2017?

On Saturday, December 16, 2017, our traditional Christmas party took place with the entire Gammel Engineering GmbH team and partners.

A quarter of a year ago there was a general election. Christmas is just a week away. Many had dreamed that politicians would put a new government under the Christmas tree for us voters. Everyone was disappointed. Because there has been a lot of talk in the last three months, especially on balconies, so that the cameras had something to show. But nothing has happened.

Last Thursday evening, it was that time again for our team: a scenic tour of the town - this time the topic was Joseph Ritter von Hazzi - an Abensberg child. "Joseph Ritter von Hazzi (* February 12, 1768 in Abensberg; † May 20, 1845 at Elkofen Castle) was an administrative lawyer in the Kingdom of Bavaria. He was one of the founders of Bavarian geodesy and the Monatsblatt für Bauwesen und Landesverschönerung in Bayern."

How will the transmission system operators (TSOs) manage to build their power lines across Germany until the final nuclear phase-out? We finally found out this week. At least with the "Südlink", the EU Commission is doing everything it can to ensure that the power line from Schleswig-Holstein to Bavaria is completed in a very short time.

The long wait is over: today we received our first electric car from Autohaus Maschek. Our employees are looking forward to the completely new driving experience and the future of mobility. When it comes to electromobility, we have deliberately opted for German workmanship and for one of our long-standing clients, the VW Group.

Contaminated woodchips harm renewable energies. According to a brand-new study by renowned consultants Roland Berger from May 2017, "the heating transition is in sight". And wood energy is set to play an important role in the future. However, there are always some who think they have to use tricks to get the best out of it for themselves. But at some point it comes out. And then they damage the entire industry. This is because the public does not look at individual cases, but places the eco-heating industry, if not all renewable energies, under general suspicion.

Gammel Engineering GmbH is currently offering a company first aid course for all employees.

Once upon a time. That's how all fairy tales begin. Even the one about the expansion and costs of the electricity and gas grids.

"We want to think more bottom-up, less top-down": this is what Andreas Kuhlmann writes in the introduction to the "Leitstudie Integrierte Energiewende" (Integrated Energy Transition flagship study), which is to be produced by "his" Dena, the German Energy Agency, by the end of 2018. - Well, that's why it's only an "interim summary", which was published on 20 pages recently. But the project's ambition is not entirely unambitious: "It's about more than just a simple coupling of sectors," writes the Dena boss, but about coordinating their "growing number of components and integrating them into an intelligent and sustainable energy system".
