According to a recent study, cogeneration or, as it is also called, Combined Heat and Power (CHP) in district heating, is thought to be an efficient enabler for reaching carbon neutrality by 2050.With the latest Council conclusions, gas CHPs remain an important technology with a significant role in reducing emissions, especially in regions transforming away from coal and dense urban areas. An important product that can be achieved through cogeneration is district heating. Together with cooling, heating in buildings and industry accounts for 50% of the EU's annual energy consumption, with 60 million people using it across Member States.While on one hand district heating produced in a cogeneration system requires considerable upfront investment, on the other, the technology, if well used, has the potential of reducing Europe's heating infrastructure carbon footprint. As the European Commission works on the revision of the European Energy Efficiency Directive, the Renewable Energy Directive II and the EU Emission Trading System, the energy industry is concerned about what this will mean for cogeneration plants and district heating in the future, especially in those Member States where energy transition relies on switching from coal to gas generation. More specifically, what will this entail in terms of meeting criteria and costs?

Stephen Lafaille of Tecogen joins Tony P for an informative discussion about minimizing your carbon footprint in our new episode entitled, "Energy Demands of Cannabis Cultivation - How to Minimize Your Carbon Footprint."The energy needs for indoor cannabis cultivation facilities are immense, especially their density. There is an extreme amount of energy needed per sq. ft. and this results in a relatively small building (minimal roof area), but a very high power need. This makes addressing power consumption with solar, not very feasible, unless you have a lot of empty land surrounding the building (most people do not).Ultimately this means until the power coming from our central utility grid is 100% renewable, or at least more than about 5-20% depending on what state you are in, growers need to look to other ways to reduce their carbon footprint. CHP (Combined Heat and Power) is a great way to do this, because not only does it offer a carbon footprint reduction for the building, it also saves the owners a lot of money on their utility bills. This is a great combination of doing what's right for your business financially, and at the same time having a positive impact on the planet. Listen now to learn more about CHP products and how CHP can help reduce the carbon footprint in cannabis cultivation facilities.

What happens when you put two energy experts in a room and ask them all about boilers and home heating? We're looking forward to winter this week, and that means we're talking all things central heating. In this episode we demystify boilers, taking you through each different type of boiler, along with their pros and cons. Scroll down for a simple summary of boilers and hot water systems.   _________________________________________________________________________________________________   COMBI BOILER Usually the boiler of choice for flats or small houses with only one bathroom, since it doesn't require a hot water tank. If you have a small property, it's an incredibly convenient boiler system, but won't work for larger families. SYSTEM BOILER System boilers use a hot water tank in an airing cupboard to store hot water. As a sealed, pressurised system, these boilers can provide hot water to several outlets at the same time, operating at the same water pressure as your mains flow.. CONVENTIONAL BOILER Also known as regular boilers, traditional boilers, or open vent boilers. These use a dual tank gravity system to create the water pressure. You can use multiple outlets at once, but they take up a lot of space and are limited by the positioning of the tanks. OTHER HOT WATER SYSTEMS Back Boiler: A type of conventional boiler but with a gas space heater fire at the back. They're no longer available in the UK due to inefficiency. Biomass Boiler: Instead of using gas to produce the heat, biomass boilers combust sustainable wood pellets. They also qualify for the RHI government funding scheme. Oil/LPG Boiler: Work the same as normal boilers, but fuel used is stored on site rather than coming off ‘the grid'. Fairly reliable, but relatively expensive and very bad for the environment. Electric Boiler: An electric boiler can be used in off-grid areas, or where a gas supply is either not wanted or not possible. However, they are very expensive to run. Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Boiler: Acts as micro power plants by providing your hot water, but also using the wasted energy to generate electricity to use around the home. Instantaneous Hot Water Points: They work the same way as electric showers, heating the water at the point of use. Only really used in outhouses or garden sheds, etc.   _________________________________________________________________________________________________   Read more:  An Introduction to Gas Boilers What Kind of Boiler Do I Have?

Control Your Own Destiny with Combined Heat and Power Systems Combined heat and power (CHP), also known as cogeneration, is the concurrent production of electricity or mechanical power and useful thermal energy (heating and/or cooling) from a single source of energy. Although it may not be widely recognized outside of industrial, commercial, institutional, and utility circles, CHP has been providing highly efficient electricity and process heat to some of the most vital industries, urban centers, and campuses in the U.S. for more than a century. In fact, Thomas Edison's Pearl Street Station was a CHP facility when it opened in 1882—the same year POWER was first published. According to the Department of Energy, most CHP applications can reasonably expect to operate at greater than 65% efficiency, a large improvement over the typical electric-only power plant. President Obama believed so strongly in the benefits that he signed an executive order on August 30, 2012, establishing a national goal of adding 40 GW of new CHP capacity by 2020. However, the country will fall well short of that target; only 2.5 GW was added between 2012 and 2016. Bill Castor, director of business development for Siemens Energy, was a guest on The POWER Podcast. Castor gave a presentation titled “Navigating Through the Challenges of Implementing Successful Onsite Generation Solutions in a Complex Market” on April 25 during the ELECTRIC POWER Conference and Exhibition in Las Vegas, Nevada. He touched on some of the main points from his presentation during the podcast interview. “CHP is an entirely different animal than your typical power plant because it is so intertwined with the end user—the host—as well as impacted by the outside grid,” Castor said. He noted that CHP results in not only reliability gains, efficiency gains, and environmental gains, but it also allows end users to take control of their own destinies. “Controlling your own destiny is one of the phrases that really is attached to CHP as a driver for the potential hosts of those units,” Castor said. “The whole story for CHP has to start though with the end user,” Castor said. “You need to have that thermal host in order to make [CHP] a sensible alternative.” Castor noted that industrial solutions come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Systems range from small to large, and can utilize an assortment of technologies including gas turbines, reciprocating engines, and fuel cells, as well as incorporating control systems, electrical systems, transformers, and more. “Utilities in the past have traditionally resisted CHP coming because it tends to take large customers away from the utility,” Castor said. But that is changing. “Many of the cases that we're looking at today involve either utility ownership and operation or at least a cooperation between the host and the utility to try to make those work,” he said.
