How does a CHP work?

Intelligent use of residual heat

A combined heat and power plant (CHP) produces heat and electricity at the same time. This installation is located in or near the premises of our customers. Less fuel (natural gas) is required to produce electricity and heat at the same time than the energy needed when using both an electricity generator and central heating boiler (that generates the heat separately).

Lower energy costs

The total energy costs for a CHP are lower than alternatives. The transportation costs for gas will decrease proportionately to how much your business uses in relation to the transportation capacity. For example, if you have a greenhouse farming business then you can use your own generated electricity to light the greenhouses.

Better for the environment

The CHP yields are large because heat and electricity are generated simultaneously and then used efficiently. The fuel burned in a CHP is used up more completely than by two separate generators. The energy consumption of a CHP is lower and thus less CO2 is emitted. And that is better for the environment. A CHP always produces a positive environmental contribution with respect to reducing the greenhouse effect.
