Wilhelmshaven – A clean performance for the environment

E.ON Kraftwerke consistently focuses on technologies that help the environment effectively. Why? Wherever primary energy carriers such as coal are used to produce energy, substances are created which in high concentrations are air pollutants. This means nitrogen, sulfur dioxides, carbon dioxides and dust.

We only allow out what is fit to be out

A great deal has been invested in the purification of flue gases and the measures we have put in place are on a scale similar to the workings of a chemical factory. Nevertheless, we do everything in our power to ensure that environmental protection in conventional electricity production is not a contradiction. The Wilhelmshaven power plant is a perfect example of this. Environmental protection is given a high priority, using state-of-the-art burner and firing technology. But that’s not all: protective devices provide active noise protection, in particular on the transformers and in the boiler and engine house.
