Imtech: technology partner for sustainable Amsterdam Airport Schiphol
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Gouda - Imtech N.V. (technical services provider in Europe) announces that it is
acting as technology partner for Amsterdam Schiphol Airport during the coming
years as part of a co-operation called theGROUNDS, which was launched today.
theGrounds is the platform and test site of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, where
companies and knowledge institutes jointly develop innovative applications for
sustainable aviation. theGrounds, which consists of Schiphol, Imtech and the
knowledge institutes TNO, TU (Technical University) Delft and Wageningen
University & Research Centre, works at developing concrete solutions for energy,
water and mobility. The strength of Imtech (electrical solutions, ICT -
information and communication technology - and mechanical solutions) within this
knowledge platform is that it contributes sustainable energy technology for all
the technical solutions.
Boudewijn Gerner, CFO of Imtech, who is actively involved in this initiative:
'An initiative such as theGrounds suits us perfectly. As practical
implementation partner, we will apply all our knowledge to turn Schiphol into a
sustainable airport. Innovative and sustainable technologies will be used,
including advanced cogeneration, a biomass power station, a high-tech IT
platform on which a 'smart grid' will be based for efficient power distribution,
and which will also enable electrical transport. Collaborating with knowledge
institutes such as TNO, TU Delft and Wageningen University & Research Centre
allows a combination of science and practical implementation to be applied to
the subject of sustainability.'
Trias Energetica approach: proven business case
Imtech is contributing towards the goal of achieving sustainable energy
consumption at Schiphol by 2020. Schiphol has the ambition to become CO2 neutral
in 2012 and to power 20% of its energy needs in a durable way in 2020. This will
be realised among others by the Imtech Trias Energetica approach, whereby a
sustainable energy supply is achieved via three simultaneous steps, namely
energy saving, sustainable energy generation, and energy efficiency. This
approach is a proven business case for Imtech, as it is being used with success
in other projects.
Latest sustainable solutions
Together with Schiphol, Imtech is establishing the Energy Service Company
(ESCO), a power station where innovative and (extremely) sustainable
technologies will be applied. Sustainable energy will be generated in a
sustainable power station based on the design, build & operate model, where the
following technologies will be applied:
* cogeneration, the combined generation of heat and electricity (power) with
high yield; this technology is completely CO(2) and No(x) neutral;
* a second-generation biomass power station with extremely high-energy
efficiency (more than 80%);
* photovoltaic (solar) cells for electrical power;
* a high-tech IT platform as the basis for the construction of a 'smart grid'
which on the one hand will distribute the generated power efficiently, and
on the other hand will be the basis for 'green moves', enabling the charging
of electric cars and electric transport;
* urban (vertical) wind turbines, through which wind energy can be generated
safely and without polluting the horizon;
* a 'green' data centre with high-tech 'common rail cooling', which integrates
the heat generated in the data centre into the area in an energy-saving way
and creates extra CO(2) reduction.
Knowledge of Schiphol and technology partner for other European airports
Imtech has been actively involved with Schiphol since the beginning. Imtech has
contributed to a variety of technical challenges, including the lighting
(airside) and improvements to the technical infrastructure at and around the
runways, as well as improvements to fire safety and climate control inside the
airport. Imtech is also a technology partner for other European airports. Imtech
is currently providing sustainable technology solutions at Airport Berlin
Brandenburg International (capacity 45 million passengers), an order worth 125
million euro. Until recently, Imtech was involved in the extension of the
airports of amongst others Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Dublin and
Maastricht.
Knowledge of sustainability
Imtech is increasingly involved in sustainable projects by way of innovative
technological solutions. The focus is on 'energy & environment', amongst others
energy (sustainable exploitation of energy sources and energy savings) and lower
emissions of harmful particles. These activities contribute 25% to Imtech's
total revenue. Imtech is one of the fastest growing technical services providers
in the European energy market.
