Coffein Compagnie Dr. Erich Scheele GmbH & Co KG runs a green coffee decaffeination plant at their production site in Bremen. In 2012, a new CHP plant was put into operation to reduce energy costs. This CHP plant comprises a gas turbine and a waste heat boiler for steam generation. The CHP plant generates all the power required by the production facility. The plant was dimensioned for heat-controlled operation. With turbine full load, approx. 50% of the generated power can be delivered to the public grid.
