In Junglinster an energy production facility based at a maximum on renewable energies (biogas + wood combustion) has started to be realized (December 2012) together with a district heating system of a total length of 6 km connecting different heat consumers located in an commercial activity zone, and in future also in a new village center.
To reach a best possible efficiency the use of the anaerobic digestion together with the combustion of woodchips has been implemented. These two technologies also allow to use different sort of locally available biomass( wet biomass and lignified biomass).
The biogas plant guarantees a continuous production of green heat and electricity. Additionally to the heat base load has been installed a woodchip burner with a thermal production capacity of 3 MW. To produce the peak load a normal fuel burner will be installed. The green electricity of the biogas plant will be fed into the public electricity grid.
The project is developed by a group of local actors (two local companies, five local farmers and different private investors) also in order to develop a sustainable project able to create added value and additional working places. The plant will be owned and operated by Lënster Energie sàrl together with the assistance of L.E.E. sàrl.
