Veolia (Cogenco) Combined Heat & Power

Because it is an efficient process, using far more of the available energy in a fuel than either traditional power or heat generation methods, CHP is inherently better for the environment. Rather than escape up the chimney, the excess heat produced during the combustion process can be used to provide hot water or drive an absorption chiller for air conditioning. With Veolias lean burn technology and computerised generator engine management systems CHP becomes even more cost-effective, energy efficient and environmentally friendly. Each unit of heat and power generated using a Veolia system means less CO2 released to the atmosphere. And by producing electricity where it is needed, rather than in a remote power station there are no transmission losses. Environment There has been much scientific analysis and thinking which directly blames high CO2 emissions in the industrial world for global warming. By the Kyoto Agreement many countries in the developed world have set targets ...
