Cogeneration: Sustainable Technology for the Future
Summary
Combined heat and power (CHP), also known as cogeneration, is valued and recognized as a sustainable technology for the future. Significant achievements are being made in this field to find alternate sources of energy that are efficient and attain better output. The use of traditional fossil fuels, still a dominant source of energy, cannot however be undermined. Increasing efficiency in this area is the key to making optimum usage of the sources. Cogeneration (simultaneous production of electricity and thermal energy from a single fuel source) offers significantly higher fuel efficiency; as much as 50% greater than traditional forms of electricity generation. It is achieved by re-using the heat emitted as a by-product of electricity generation for domestic or industrial heating purposes. For the thermal energy market, this not only saves fuel costs but also provides a large reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and conventional air pollutants
