Project examples

The largest onshore wind farm in the Baltic States is being built in Lithuania. The exporter is Hamburg-based Nordex Energy SE & Co. KG . The German government is providing buyer credit cover and supplier credit cover for the project.

Three wind farms were erected in Finland for the "Magna" project. The exporter of the turbines was GE Wind Energy GmbH from Salzbergen. The German federal government is supporting the project by providing buyer credit cover.

The Swedish company H2 Green Steel is building the world’s first climate-neutral steelworks in northern Sweden. Key equipment for the steelworks is being supplied by SMS group GmbH and thyssenkrupp nucera. The German federal government will support the project by providing buyer credit cover, contract bond cover, manufacturing risk cover and supplier credit cover.

In Egypt, a consortium led by Siemens Mobility is building a 660-km long railway line for high-speed trains. The German federal government is supporting the project by providing buyer credit cover, supplier credit cover and manufacturing risk cover.

The Rural Electrification Project will provide 203,000 households with hybrid photovoltaic systems. MCA Deutschland is supplying key components for the project to Angola. 

The Federal Government supports this project with supplier credit and buyer credit cover.

In future, a new centre for the production of veterinary vaccines will reduce Angola’s dependency on imports and boost the country’s agricultural sector. A consortium consisting of GAUFF and NORÁFRCA is realising the project. The Federal Government supports this project with Contract Bond Guarantees with Counter-Guarantees and provides supplier and buyer credit cover.

Vietnam is relying on renewable energies in order to meet its ambitious climate targets. Through the Special Renewable Energies Initiative Landesbank Baden-Württemberg financed a 50 megawatt wind farm in Vietnam. The turbines were supplied by Enercon GmbH from Lower Saxony. The Federal Government granted isolated buyer credit cover for the project.

The Angolan government intends to substantially improve the health care for the population. Therefore, it gives high priority to three hospital projects. Two hospitals are being built on large undeveloped plots in the provinces of Viana and Cacuaco, which are among the most densely populated districts of the capital Luanda. The third hospital is the Mbanza Congo general hospital in the province of Zaire in the north of Angola. The construction of the building is already completed. But the technical and medical equipment has yet to be installed.

There are only very few hospitals in the rural areas of Egypt and doctors are few and far between. Because people have to travel long distances to hospitals and medical practices, it is impossible to make rapid medical assistance and treatment available to the population in an emergency. In order to remedy this problem Wietmarscher Ambulanz- und Sonderfahrzeug GmbH developed special vehicles fitted with clinical equipment, which can come to the patients with their medical devices.

Ghana has a massive waste problem: The waste ends up practically everywhere – in the countryside, on roads, in rivers and the ocean. The Ghanaian company Zoomlion wants to change this situation in Ghana’s capital Accra and makes refuse bins available to private households in the city, which are regularly emptied.

For the processing of the waste, Zoomlion ordered waste treatment plants from the Austrian company Komptech GmbH. With these plants, five million tons of municipal waste can be separated and recycled. The German subsidiary of the Styrian company – Komptech Vertriebsgesellschaft Deutschland GmbH – delivered a mechanical-biological treatment plant for the expansion of the recycling yard to Ghana.

The Federal Government granted supplier credit cover for this transaction.

300 villages in remote regions of Senegal will be furnished with photovoltaic systems and electrified. 

The Federal Government supports the project with supplier and buyer credit cover. The medium-sized company GAUFF Engineering from Nuremberg plans and realises the scheme.

The municipal waste sorting plant built by Stadler Anlagenbau at a waste dump in Brazil sorts 500 tons of waste daily. Using screen drums, ballistic separators, magnetic and near infrared technology – the semi-automatic, state-of-the-art plant mechanically sorts the municipal solid waste into the different recyclable fractions. The semi-automatic separation makes it possible to recover many more reusable materials than with manual sorting and save primary materials. 

The Federal Government grants supplier and buyer credit cover for this transaction.

Until now, Serbia’s electricity has mainly come from lignite and hydropower. With the construction of wind farms, the country wants to increase the share of renewable energies in national electricity production. GE Wind Energy GmbH supplied 38 wind turbines with a total capacity of 104.5 MW for the Kovačica wind farm in the Serbian province of Vojvodina, about 50 km northeast of the capital city of Belgrade. Kovačica is one of the first major wind farms to be installed in Serbia under the new incentive programme for renewable energies.

The Federal Government provided Supplier Credit Cover and Buyer Credit Cover for the transaction.

Since the beginning of 2017, Ludwig Pfeiffer Hoch- und Tiefbau GmbH & Co. KG has been modernising the wastewater network of the La Chala basin in Guayaquil, Ecuador. In the course of the project 450 kilometres of sewage pipes were cleaned. In addition, the German family-owned company is overhauling approx. 100 kilometres of the sewage network using various trenchless technologies together with 400 manholes.

The Federal Republic of Germany is backing the project with isolated Contract Bond Cover and a Counter-Guarantee.

The family-owned Turkish company Gama Recycle supplies the textile industry, the automotive sector and the construction industry with fibres and yarns made from recycled materials.
