About this project
The description is as the source gives it.
Veolia subsidiary BS Energy completed the phase-out of coal at its heating plant in Braunschweig, Germany, after investing around 250 million euros in modernization including a biomass heating plant and gas turbines. The last coal train arrived in February 2024, fully transitioning the site away from coal.
