CHP Biogas Plant

In a combined heat and power plant (CHP), the generated heat and electricity can be used. Thereby a higher overall efficiency of the power generation plant is achieved.

A distinction is made between current and heat-controlled CHP plants. Depending on the major need, the energy generation is balanced towards one or the other form of energy. The generated heat is in form of hot water transported via isolated pipes and used for heating buildings, for agricultural or industrial purposes.

A common use for these combined heat and power plants are biogas, sewage gas, landfill gas or coal mining gas plants. In this case is the electricity generation in the foreground. Small CHP plants for primary heat supply are used in limited, local residential areas. Large plants are used for large-scale district heating supply, but have higher conduction losses because of a lower overall efficiency.
