News in Every Project

The expansion of environmentally friendly district heating is the essential building block of the future heat supply for cities, municipalities and areas. The municipality of Gräfelfing is prepared for the current political demands and is already implementing them! As the Münchner Merkur reported on 07.09.2023, the first pipes for the municipality of Gräfelfing's comprehensive district heating network have long since been laid on the construction site. The team from Gammel Engineering GmbH, which specializes in highly efficient energy systems, was awarded the planning contract in the EU-wide tender competition together with our local cooperation partner IB Krombach (civil engineering). This allows us to contribute more than 35 years of district heating experience and a great deal of passion to this complex future energy project. We are already looking forward to the first district heating supply through the Gräfelfing municipal network.

These are the words used by Mr. Cetin Yasasin, Head of Heat Generation and Systems, to describe the Kelheim biomass cogeneration plant. It has now been operating successfully for 11 years and Gammel Engineering looks back with pride on this, one of our many successful projects not only in the district of Kelheim. The city council and the Kelheim public utility company had the foresight to decide that the concept was strategically correct and decided to build, plan and operate the energy system and to develop and expand the district heating system. Municipal heating planning in our district town began with foresight and a forward-looking approach long before the commitment that has now been agreed. A successful example of how heat and electricity can be produced sustainably from natural waste wood! Our team is pleased about the many years of advisory cooperation in the strategic development and planning of future energy in Kelheim.

In the 02/2023 issue, r.energy reports on the very positive operating experience of the brewery G. Schneider & Sohn GmbH, Kelheim, since the commissioning of the energy center and the biomass heating plant. There is a detailed report on the success factors of trust on the part of the Schneider brewery and the sound expertise of our engineers in individual, sustainable energy systems.

In the current issue, molkerei industrie reports on operator experience in energy-saving milk and cheese production. Our team successfully advised several milk-processing industrial companies on the transformation and provided engineering support during implementation. Milchwerke Berchtesgadener Land Chiemgau e.G. is highlighted as a lighthouse project. The company has been supplied by its own new energy center with a gas turbine since 2016. Another energy efficiency highlight is the Goldsteig cheese dairies in Cham. There, the Gammel Engineering team developed the energy partnership concept with Naturenergie Cham, planned the entire power plant technology and also participated in the investment.

The renowned trade magazine EURO HEAT & POWER reports on our innovative wood energy concept at the private wheat beer brewery G. Schneider & Sohn in Kelheim. It was a real pleasure for us to be able to contribute our many years of knowledge and commitment to the design and implementation of the project. To now see how much interest our energy ideas are attracting not only makes us proud, but also shows that our team is on the right track. As we have been doing for 35 years now - always one asparagus tip ahead!

Generation change - how quickly time flies! in 2003, I was elected to the IHK committee of the Kelheim district for the first time and finally took over the chairmanship in 2013. Since then, I have also been a member of the main committee and the general assembly of the IHK Regensburg for the Upper Palatinate and the district of Kelheim. My work on the board and the main committee has given me great pleasure - numerous exciting meetings and discussions with entrepreneurs and people who take on responsibility in politics and society have enriched my life during this time. The full-time IHK team in the district and also in Regensburg provided very committed and professional support on all topics - important, competent, trustworthy contacts for all member companies in (almost) all situations....

The trade magazine BRAUINDUSTRIE, published by W. Sachon, published a detailed report on the far-sighted energy concept of the Schneider Weiße brewery in Kelheim in cooperation with Gammel Engineering in issue 04/2023 (p. 17-19).
