Cost savings, reducing emissions and carbon footprint
moderndiplomacy.eu
- A CHP (or cogeneration) unit generates the electricity where it is needed and additionally gives the opportunity to use the excess heat for heating and hot water. This can make CHP more than twice as efficient as conventional power stations - giving you cost savings, reducing emissions and carbon footprint.

Combined Heat and Power (CHP), also known as cogeneration, offers an efficient way to generate electricity and heat from the same fuel source. This method significantly improves energy efficiency, reduces costs, and decreases greenhouse gas emissions, making it an attractive option for various settings.
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) or Cogeneration (Cogen) is a well-established technology that simultaneously generates electricity and heat from a fuel input. Cogeneration can save up to 30% on primary energy costs when compared to the separate purchase of electricity from the electricity grid and gas for use in on-site boilers.
CHP can be a highly efficient and cost-effective way to generate electricity and heat. It can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower energy costs for businesses and households alike. However, it's important to note that CHP is not a silver bullet solution for sustainability.
