Boehringer Ingelheim inaugurates biomass power plant in Germany

In Germany, Boehringer Ingelheim inaugurated a biomass power plant at its Ingelheim site. 

With the new power plant, Boehringer Ingelheim said it is optimizing its energy supply and protecting the environment at the same time: Around 50,000 tons of CO2 are saved per year, the company said.

Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action Robert Habeck said: “The decarbonization of all areas of our economy is necessary in order to achieve global climate targets on the one hand and a reduction in energy imports on the other. Boehringer Ingelheim is a good example of this. The company uses renewable energies for production. It trains and attracts talents as an attractive employer. Last but not least, it invests heavily in research and development, thus contributing to better healthcare and future proofing of the site.”

The company noted that its Ingelheim site can now cover 95% of its energy needs from renewable sources.
