Cogeneration uses a natural gas-powered engine to generate electricity on site and converts the waste heat from the engine into usable heat for space heating, process heat for manufacturing, domestic hot water, heating for swimming pools and similar applications.
Cogeneration, or waste heat recovery, can be used to both heat and cool large buildings or use potential energy to power any number of industrial applications. On average most engines lose about 50% of their thermal energy. With cogeneration, power plants can potentially reach up to 80% efficiency overall.

Combined heat and power (CHP) is the simultaneous cogeneration of electricity and heat. Cogeneration is a highly efficient form of energy conversion and using gas engines it can achieve primary energy savings of approximately 40% compared to the separate purchase of electricity from the electricity grid and gas for use in a boiler.
Cogeneration technologies that have been widely commercialized include extraction/back pressure steam turbines, gas turbine with heat recovery boiler (with or without bottoming steam turbine) and reciprocating engines with heat recovery boiler. 7.

The separate heat and power system emits a total of 45 kilotons of CO 2 per year (13 kilotons from the boiler and 32 kilotons from the power plant), while the CHP system, with its higher efficiency, emits 23 kilotons of CO 2 per year. Economic Benefits. CHP can offer a variety of economic benefits, including:
Selecting the appropriate "heat recovery steam generator" (HRSG) for cogeneration (CHP) and fume incineration systems involves much consideration. Important areas of concern are controlling/bypassing the waste heat, optimizing overall system performance, maintaining required operating pressures, boiler size, weight and installation.
Combined heat and power (CHP) boilers produce both heat and electricity in one single process. This process is sometimes referred to as cogeneration and the technology that supports it has been around since the 1970s, but has mainly been confined to industry and large dwellings such as …

Cogeneration, also known as combined heat and power (CHP), is a highly efficient process that generates electricity and heat simultaneously. By utilizing the exhaust energy from gas turbines, useful steam can be generated in a heat exchanger which can then be used in any number of applications, all with no additional fuel consumption.
