How Tanklager’s 1.2 GWh Solar Project Cuts Costs & Carbon
Now accounting for 32% of the terminal’s overall energy consumption, Tanklager’s solar transition has achieved a significant milestone. Together with agrivoltaic carports, our 512 bifacial solar panels provide more than 1.2 GWh of clean electricity a year. This increases resilience against growing utility bills and reduces annual carbon emissions by 1,024 tons. This action improves our long-term financial stability and environmental performance.
Battery Storage & Energy Independence
The facility is now powered continuously by a 4 MWh saltwater battery system, enabling grid independence during blackouts and peak price hours. These batteries are recyclable, assuring environmental safety with performance. Tanklager’s smooth load balancing allows it to continue operating at full capacity even in the event of regional disruptions. This infrastructure offers savings and security as European energy prices rise.
trusted expertise
A group with extensive experience in energy transition engineering and utility-scale project management oversees our solar expansion. Proven leaders in renewable integration have guided each stage, from design to commissioning.
innovating ideas
In addition to installing solar panels, we established a circular energy loop that is fueled by platforms that are ready for hydrogen, recyclable batteries, and agrivoltaics. Every invention at Tanklager is designed to complement the one before it.
From Solar Savings to Hydrogen Investment
Tanklager is putting its €380,000 yearly clean power savings back into Phase 3 infrastructure, which includes hydrogen electrolyzers. This illustrates our long-term approach, in which one sustainability improvement supports the subsequent one. ExxonMobil’s projected capacity has already doubled with our solar-powered technology, establishing us as a renewable leader in the storage industry. Energy Lead Luca Fischer affirms: “This isn’t just green, it’s scalable.”
