Dong’s Skærbæk Station getting ready to produce green energy

After saying goodbye to coal and gas from its 3 power stations Dong Energy seems to go ahead and make its Skærbæk Power Station next in line for the transition of green energy, and the first shipload of sustainable wood chips has arrived. The shipment of 3,546 tonnes of wood chips is the first of several before the power station can commence its production of green energy.

The transport of wood chips to Skærbæk Power Station will primarily take place via ships and barges, and ship calls will mainly take place during the winter months as deliveries will follow demand during the heating season. The ships will generally carry between 6,000-16,000m³ of wood chips. The existing quay has been renovated and extended to accommodate the ships, which will be up to 175m in length.

The green Skærbæk Power Station is expected to be ready for the next heating season. From then on, the power station will use only wood chips produced from wood waste for the production of district heating to the Triangle Region Denmark.
