CHP, a.k.a. Combined Heat Power

Combined Heat Power (CHP) is a system that allows two forms of energy, electricity and heat, to be produced simultaneously in the same conversion process, using a single source of primary energy.

The use of CHP allows the energy efficiency of the conversion systems to be increased, realising primary energy savings compared to what would be necessary with traditional generation.

Among the cogeneration technologies, one can distinguish the one based on the use of a generator set, powered mainly by gas, from which thermal waste is recovered, making it available to users.

Why invest in COELMO CHP power units?

• Lower total cost of energy supply achieved through primary energy savings compared to traditional systems
• The CHP units have obtained a Certificate of Energy Efficiency (TEE, also known as white certificates), recognised by the GSE (Energy Services Manager)
• Possibility to obtain tax relief on capital goods
• Possibility of selling surplus electricity
• Reduced emissions of pollutants (CO, NOx, HC) and CO2 into the atmosphere
• Reduction of grid losses possible, thanks to distributed generation
• Improved continuity of energy supply
