biofuelpark, oldenburg This competition entry for a former NATO airfield in the North of Germany was to convert the site into a ‘bio-fuel park’, developing a sustainable energy supply for the intended urbanization of the airfield’s edges. The brief requested approximately 70% of the land to be green space and agricultural use; therefore the concept of a self-sufficient development seemed ideal. Large areas of land were allocated for the production of biomass, which then could be used locally in a Combined Heat & Power plant. This development could potentially position itself as an outstanding site for renewable energy in the northern part of Germany. Three zones of productive landscape (190hectares) will produce the energy equivalent of 530.000 litres of oil per year - sufficiently supplying either 270 new family dwellings with heating and warm water or, 40 large scale thermally updated barrack buildings that have been converted for accommodation, start-up businesses and other office uses. A local and sustainable source of electricity production could be enhanced with five large photovoltaic roof plants on existing, converted hangars, each offering roof surface of approximately 6500m². This solar source can sufficiently supply approximately 235 new family dwellings or 30 converted barrack buildings throughout the year.
