Case Study: Pioneering project at Molkerei Gropper

Our customer, the Gropper dairy in Bissingen (Germany), demonstrates how the industrial energy transition can succeed through smart technology. In collaboration with its partners, the company has established a 16-hectare solar farm and a state-of-the-art energy centre. The technological heart of the new energy centre is a Bosch electric steam boiler, which runs entirely on green electricity to generate CO₂-free process steam for production. An AI-powered energy management system intelligently connects the solar farm with the electric boiler, existing gas-fired CHP plants, and two battery storage systems. Through this innovative integration, the company saves up to 5,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually, setting a strong example for sustainable, climate-neutral food production.

How Kupfer is mastering the energy transition in food processing with Bosch

Hans Kupfer & Sohn GmbH & Co. KG faced the challenge of making its energy-intensive steam generation – with an annual demand of over 30,000 tons of steam – more sustainable. In partnership with Bosch Industriekessel, an innovative hybrid solution was implemented. An electric steam boiler of the ELSB type (3 t/h) now complements the existing gas boiler system. Coupled with a new 7.4-hectare PV park, the electric boiler system uses surplus green electricity for steam generation. On sunny days, the ELSB covers up to 50 % of the steam load, significantly reducing gas consumption and CO2 emissions. The solution ensures flexible, highly efficient, and reliable production.

Bosch supplies steam boiler for hydrogen use

The UL-S steam boiler from the Bosch Gunzenhausen plant uses up to 100% hydrogen from production processes to generate 15 t/h superheated steam. Instead of CO2, water vapour is produced in the flue gas. Boiler and burner with flue gas recirculation are optimally matched to each other and enable low NOx emissions at below 60 mg/m³. In addition to the option of also using natural gas as a back-up fuel, the boiler offers a very high efficiency of over 100% in terms of the net calorific value thanks to condensing technology. The new system will in the future be used at a chemical producer in Poland.
