NESS Wärmetechnik GmbH has carried out a challenging project for EGGER to convert the energy supply for its presses. The aim was to replace fossil natural gas with a carbon-neutral solution based on biomass.
The particular challenge: the new power plant technology had to be integrated into an existing, spatially constrained infrastructure whilst production continued.
EGGER aimed to achieve two key goals: reducing CO₂ emissions and decreasing dependence on volatile energy markets and rising gas prices.
At the same time, the project had to be implemented without additional production downtime. All installation and commissioning activities therefore had to be aligned with ongoing operations and pre-scheduled maintenance windows, placing particularly high demands on project planning and coordination.
„Our commitment to Net Zero 2050 is clear. Through the biomass-based thermal oil heating project delivered together with NESS, we have taken another important step toward that goal and can now reduce our fossil CO₂ emissions by an additional 10,000 tonnes annually“

NESS was responsible for the complete engineering and technical integration of the new biomass-based heat supply into the existing plant infrastructure.
Due to the limited available space, the routing of pipelines and the positioning of system components required particularly precise and forward-looking engineering. Interfaces with existing equipment had to be carefully coordinated and integrated.
Implementation activities were either carried out alongside ongoing operations or scheduled precisely within short production shutdown windows, ensuring minimal impact on the manufacturing process.
The integration of the new power plant technology placed high demands on temperature resistance, pressure handling and long-term operational reliability. To meet these requirements, NESS relied on proven, high-performance components:
By providing all required declarations of conformity in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive, NESS ensured that the entire system meets the highest safety and quality standards.
The project was executed in close coordination with EGGER’s production processes and required meticulous planning of all installation and commissioning activities.
Thanks to structured project management and the flexibility of the NESS installation team, the project schedule was maintained despite the complex operating environment and challenging framework conditions.
Unexpected challenges, including the replacement of individual components and on-site modifications, were addressed quickly and efficiently, ensuring that the overall project timeline remained unaffected.
The successful transition to biomass marks a significant step toward a more sustainable and future-oriented production process.
The benefits of the new energy solution are clear:
This project demonstrates NESS’s ability to transform complex existing industrial facilities through precise engineering, technical expertise and decades of experience, helping customers meet both today’s operational requirements and tomorrow’s sustainability goals.
