CHP unit efficiency
Cogeneration technologyCHP units are significantly more efficient than the coal-fired power plants. They burn coal to produce electric power with an efficiency of around 35-40% and high CO2 emissions. In contrast, CHP units produce the power and heat from a single source achieving efficiencies of over 90% and minimizing a heat loss. This reduces CO2 emissions per the unit of power and heat produced which is crucial to reducing the environmental impact and increasing the energy sustainability.
