COMBINED HEAT & POWER RECYCLING
To determine if CHP is suitable for your operations, consider consulting with energy experts who can assess your specific needs and guide you through the implementation process.
What is Combined Heat and Power (CHP)?
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is a system where the production of usable heat and power (electricity) is combined into one single, highly efficient, on-site process.
CHP generates electricity whilst also capturing the usable heat that is produced in this process. This contrasts with conventional ways of generating electricity where vast amounts of heat is simply wasted. In today’s coal and gas fired power stations, up to 65% of the overall energy is wasted, often seen as clouds of steam rising from cooling towers
CHP is highly efficient
By utilising waste heat, CHP plants can reach efficiency ratings in excess of 80%. This compares with the efficiency of gas power stations, which in the UK range between 49% and 52%. Coal-fired plants are even worse, with an efficiency of around 38%. As the energy is produced locally, CHP has the added benefit of avoiding efficiency losses incurred through the transmission and distribution of electricity through the National Grid.
