Biomass Generator #11 is a 16 MW waste power plant in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is operated by EEW Energy from Waste Stapelfeld GmbH. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 22,575 homes (estimated). It ranks #578 of 1,369 Germany power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1978, it is around 48 years old — long-established. In context, the national grid averages 330 gCO₂/kWh (59.1% low-carbon) (2025).

This waste plant recovers energy by combusting municipal or industrial waste. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 53.6°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 38% above the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.
Climate heat-demand index: 73/100 — this site sits in the top third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.
In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.
