Biologically-derived gases can be utilised in biogas engines to generate renewable power via  cogeneration  in the form of electricity and heat. The electricity can be used to power the surrounding equipment or exported to the national grid.

Biogas cogeneration/Combined Heat & Power (CHP) units usually run on methane gas that is created by an anaerobic digestion process (AD). These microbes feed off carbohydrates and fats, normally in animal waste producing methane and carbon dioxides as metabolic waste products.

Cogeneration is a highly efficient form of energy conversion and it can achieve primary energy savings of approximately 40% by compared to the separate purchase of electricity from the national electricity grid and a gas boiler for onsite heating.

Cogeneration systems use natural gas or biogas powered engines to produe electricity on site. Ideally for high energy users with constant demands for electricity and heat, Cogeneration can reduce energy costs and carbon emissions by up to 50%.

Biologically-derived gases can be utilised in biogas engines to generate renewable power via  cogeneration  in the form of electricity and heat. The electricity can be used to power the surrounding equipment or exported to the national grid.

Cogeneration Cogeneration or Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is an extremely efficient technology that converts gas or biogas into electricity and heat in a single process at the point of use. Produces cleaner and cheaper electricity with “free” heating.

· PDF filedriven organic Rankine cycle (ORC) cogeneration system, involving a solar organic Rankine cycle . and a biogas boiler. The biogas boiler with a module of solar Parabolic-Trough Collectors (PT. C) is . employed to provide heat source to the ORC via two distinct intermediate pressurized circuits. The . cogeneration supplied the power to the air-condition in summer condition and hot water, which is …

Cogeneration or combined heat and power (CHP) is the use of a heat engine or power station to generate electricity and useful heat at the same time. Trigeneration or combined cooling, heat and power (CCHP) refers to the simultaneous generation of electricity and useful heating and cooling from the combustion of a fuel or a solar heat collector.The terms cogeneration and trigeneration can be also …

The Cogeneration systems have a maximum output of 2000kW and 1900kW of heat. The biogas system have a predicted maximum biogas generation of approximately 80m3/hr, and will provide a portion of the gas required for the generation.

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.
