Natural Gas is the cleanest fossil fuel for Cogeneration systems. Different Cogeneration system configurations have been devised to work with different types of fossil fuels, ranging from natural gas & fuel oil to coal. Nevertheless, Natural Gas is undisputably the cleanest fuel option available in terms of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions.
Cogeneration
What is Cogeneration (Combined Heat and Power)?
Cogeneration, or Combined Heat and Power (CHP), is generally defined as the simultaneous generation of electricity and useful thermal energy (usually in the form of steam, hot water or chilled water) from a single source of primary energy.
