Economics Minister Sven Schulze visited the Progroup PM3 paper mill in Sandersdorf-Brehna. Another important topic of the visit was the plant's energy supply, as the company is planning a new combined heat and power plant at the site in order to be more autonomous.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201eThe current situation is a drastic reminder of how strongly we still rely on fossil fuels in Germany<\/strong> are. We reduce this dependency as Progroup<\/a> continuously,\u201c says Heindl. He explained how to Sven Schulze, Minister of Economics, Tourism, Agriculture and Forestry of Saxony-Anhalt, during a joint tour of the PM3 paper mill. The company already uses a recirculating water treatment plant to produce biogas, which covers 10 per cent of its energy requirements. The company has also invested more than 100 million euros in ultra-modern technologies to minimise the use of resources in production.<\/p>

In order to further improve its environmental footprint, the manufacturer of corrugated base paper and corrugated board formats is planning to Start of construction of a new combined heat and power plant<\/strong> in Sandersdorf-Brehna. It will supply the paper mill with electricity and heat from the end of 2025. This could also benefit the households in the surrounding area could benefit from environmentally friendly district heating.<\/strong> become. Sandersdorf-Brehna will be Progroup's second combined heat and power plant after the plant in Eisenh\u00fcttenstadt.<\/p>

\u201eSaxony-Anhalt's paper industry is number one in Europe. The Progroup site in Sandersdorf-Brehna is one of the industry's flagships. In recent years, the company has invested in state-of-the-art production technologies with the support of subsidies from the state of Saxony-Anhalt. The construction of the new power plant is a further step towards a resource-saving and independent energy supply. Saxony-Anhalt as a business location also benefits from forward-looking projects like these.\u201c<\/p>

The company employs more than 450 people in Saxony-Anhalt. A further 35 jobs will be created with the new power plant. \u201eWe have laid the foundations for our entrepreneurial development here,\u201c says Heindl. \u201eAnd this is where we want to continue our success story.\u201c<\/p>
