IWEN has been commissioned by the municipality of Bentwisch to draw up an energy concept for the large inter-municipal commercial area of Bentwisch. The “commercial area west of the bypass and north of the Hanse Center” is to be developed on land owned by the Hanseatic and University City of Rostock, which is currently leased as farmland, and on land owned by the municipality of Bentwisch.
The task is to develop the technical, economic and legal framework conditions for the 38.5 hectare green industrial estate on the B105, taking into account climate neutrality. The flagship industrial estate is to meet the requirements for the “Green Industrial Estate” label of the MV Ministry of Energy and be certified as such. Among other things, it must therefore be supplied with at least 50% local renewable energy. The city and municipality are setting the highest climate protection standards in order to exceed this 50% and achieve the highest possible level of self-sufficiency in electricity and heating. “Green business parks in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern” is an offer from the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern that enables commercial and industrial areas to commit to sustainable development.
The three basic criteria for certification as a “green business park” are:
-
Renewable energy supply
-
Measures to improve energy management and
-
Information events on sustainable land management
Furthermore, numerous additional qualifications can be achieved.
The aim of the energy concept is to set up an overall system of demand and energy supply sequencing based on scenario-based potentials and sector coupling. To ensure that more than 50% of locally generated renewable energy is used, the energy requirements and energy generation potential of potential future companies are estimated and analyzed.
