Combined heat and power

In collaboration with the Energy and Water Agency (E&WA), Malta Enterprise is helping to promote investment in high-efficiency cogeneration equipment; energy efficient solutions that simultaneously generate thermal energy and electrical and/or mechanical energy, with a calculated primary energy...

Biogas calculator is a tool used to estimate the volume of biogas production, production of electricity and heat, project implementation costs, as well as the payback period of incurred investment costs. The analysis consists of four stages in which it is possible to insert the input data and the...

Spotting the solar trend German brewery seemlessly integrates solar into its energy mix 155 m2 solar thermal system produces 400 MWh a year To help offset growing energy costs and improve its environmental credentials, Hutt Brewery in Kassel, Germany integrated a solar heat system for the brewing...

The fruity aroma of success French fruit wholesaler and marketer turns its 1 800 tonne-a-year headache into an efficient biogas energy and heat plant Energy independence, co-generation potential, fertiliser for farms, partnerships with neighbouring companies, and more Boyer SAS is fresh fruit giant...

A dynamic duo Installing a CHP unit offers a multipurpose, efficient energy solution € 19 100 savings on energy costs and 79 tonnes of CO2 emissions are anticipated The German company AKRO-PLASTIC GmbH produces plastic compounds, which are processed into technical components for the automotive...

Combined heat and power (CHP) helps to reduce total fossil fuel consumption from on-site boilers and the power stations they import electricity from. As such, CHP systems help to cut energy bills and the environmental footprint of a company. Recorded primary energy savings from CHP are around 18 %...

An energy trio... Energy autonomy thanks to combined geothermal, biomass and solar power Up to 80 % of heating by biomass-fired combined heat and power plant, ~20 % covered by geothermal Fronius International, based in Pettenbach, Upper Austria, is active in the fields of welding technology...

Biomass as a source of renewable energy is used for a variety of applications including combined heat and power (CHP) or biofuels production. Many companies have already switched from fossil fuels to biomass, but there is more potential for growth. Among conditions to introducing biomass for heat...

Recycling waste energy just made sense… A metalwork plant built its own heat capping and recycling solution A simple, clever system to channel waste heat in- or outside the plant depending on the season and temperature outside Initial investment could be recouped within a year Spiess Blechtechnik is...

Even in workplaces which have already introduced energy saving measures, there is still one untapped source… waste heat. Industrial or thermal processes produce heat that is all-too-often released into the atmosphere, adding to greenhouse gases. That heat can be recovered and used in various ways...

Companies can generate energy for their own use and improve their overall energy efficiency by modernising existing equipment. Simple measures like replacing old boilers with new ones can increase their efficiency by up to 15 %. The highest energy savings can be achieved in cases when companies...
