Briefing: Combined heat and power plants – a reality?

Abstract

With the drive to become more energy efficient, organisations across all industry sectors need to consider their energy use. This is not only in order to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and cut carbon dioxide emissions, but also to reduce their own costs against the modern background of price fluctuations and energy uncertainty. This paper discusses how energy can be derived from the recycling loop, by looking at the potential that combined heat and power solutions offer for turning waste into clean energy.
