In the COGEN Europe Knowledge Centre you can find information on cogeneration, micro-CHP and research projects. Cogeneration (Combined Heat and Power or CHP) is the simultaneous production of electricity and heat, both of which are used.
 

Two CHP units manufactured by GE Jenbacher/LOOS were installed in a plant developed by ECOGEN Energy S.A. in Buzau, Romania. These consist of a 6 MWe motor engine plant, 2 hot water boilers (HWB) and one steam boiler (SB). The motor engine plant covers the base annual load in district heating system in Buzau city and delivers electricity to NPG, and the two HWB covers the peak thermal load in district heating. The SB provides steam for internal plant services. Primary energy savings of 22.8% were achieved as well as a significant reduction in greenhouse emissions.
