MATERIALS NETWORK
PARTNERING FOR SUCCESS

The Materials Network reliably supplies the manufacturing companies at the Chemiepark Knapsack with important materials and products. The companies on site use this efficient network on a partnership basis, thereby jointly achieving valuable synergy effects.

As an investor you have many different possibilities to integrate your own production facilities into the Materials Network. This enables you to optimize your processes and concentrate entirely on your core competencies. As a partner company at the Chemiepark Knapsack you profit from all the advantages of a large-scale location. Interesting prospects for new projects present themselves.

ENERGY SUPPLY

The reliable and economical supply of sufficient energy is one of the most important prerequisites for the chemical industry. The chemical park operator InfraServ Knapsack provides the manufacturing companies with the necessary energies in the form of electricity and process steam.

The continuous main load of the energy supply is borne by the refuse-derived fuel (RDF) power plant of E.ON Energy from Waste, where up to 300,000 tons of refuse-derived fuel are thermally utilized every year. This service is complemented by the combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant of the Norwegian energy company Statkraft. With 800 MW of installed capacity it is one of the largest CCGT power plants in Germany. A further combined gas turbine power plant with capacity of 400 MW is currently under construction. The energy supply of the Chemiepark Knapsack is thus guaranteed, also at peak load time.
