Germany's Coal-fired Power Plants

are World Leaders

E.ON's pioneering 500 MW demonstration plant in Wilhelmshaven, Germany, which will have a thermal efficiency of more than 50 percent, is setting new standards in generation technology.

Today, the average thermal efficiency of coal-fired generation is 30 percent worldwide, 36 percent in Europe, and 38 percent in Germany, which ranks among the global leaders.

Development of High-Efficient Coal-Fired Power Stations

E.ON Kraftwerke is participating in an international consortium of companies, which is testing materials and components in Scholven coal-fired power plant in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

From COMTES700 to the Power Plant of the Future

Today we are already producing twice the amount of electricity per kilogram of hard coal than we did in the 1950s. We want to increase the efficiency of coal-fired power plants even further, in order to conserve resources and reduce CO₂ emissions.
