The decommissioning of lignite surface mining in NRW from 2030 onward renders the previously used fuel, lignite dust, obsolete, without suitable alternatives being available.
The age-related replacement of a drying drum and combustion system requires significant investments to ensure the asphalt plant remains fit for the future.
The customer’s 2025+ strategy calls for a 20% reduction in CO₂ emissions, as tenders increasingly include ecological requirements.
Siemens Financial Services structured an innovative hire‑purchase package centered around a state‑of‑the‑art wood‑dust processing system.
The financing package integrates the new drying drum with wood‑dust burner, combustion system, bitumen plant and spark extinguishing system.
The flexible hire‑purchase structure incorporates €889,000 in subsidies and preserves FC Nüdling’s immediate liquidity while allowing full use of the entire system from day one.
The tailored hire-purchase solution from SFS enabled us to structure the investment flexibly while preserving our liquidity, all while consistently pursuing our sustainability goals.
