German companies soon to launch energy-efficient steam turbine for Azerikimya
By Trend
Germany’s Uniper and Siemens Energy company will soon launch an
energy-efficient steam turbine for Azerikimya production union of
Azerbaijan’s state oil company SOCAR, Tobias Baumann, Executive
Board Member of German-Azerbaijani Chamber of Commerce told
Trend.
"We have a very good project with participation of Uniper, Siemens
and Azerikimya on energy-efficient steam turbine. By the end of the
year, we will have a launching ceremony of this turbine in one of
the Azerikimya plants. This is a sort of a pilot project in the
field of energy efficiency. Steam is used for generating
electricity, which means there is no additional electricity or
energy needed. I think it would be good to have more of these
examples to make production more efficient in the country," said
Baumann.
He went on to add that Germany receives Azerbaijani gas via the
Southern Gas Corridor: "Germany is one of the gas customers. 1.5
bcm gas are purchased per year by Uniper and distributed to German
and other European consumers."
