Welcome to the web page of the Bio Energy Village Project" of Jühnde. It´s terrific to notice that you want to get informed about this project.
Our village Jühnde is located in Southern Lower Saxony and applied for the project "The Bio Energy Village". The aim of the project is to convert biological material into electrical power and heat. For this purpose it is planned to build a Block-Type Thermal Power Station (or Heat and Power Generator) run by bio gas. For additional heating during winter a wood hogged  heating system is planned which can be run either with hogged wood (wood chips) or straw.

The project will be supported by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Sustainable Developement of the Georg August University of Göttingen and is unique in Germany.
As a first action 4 out of 17 villages had been selected (among others Jühnde) for which a technical and financial plan was worked out. 
Oct.16, 2001 we got the good news by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Sustainable Developement of the University of Göttingen that Jühnde was choosen by the project team to become "The Bio Energy Village".
Currently we are in our planning phase aiming to realize the project in 2004.
