Which Possibilities CHP/DHC offer to lower the green house gases – especially CO2?
When generating district heat with CHP plants, the CO2-emissions can be diminished by up to 58 % by using fossil energies – especially natural gas as a primary energy carrier as opposed to the separate production of electricity and district heat. The reason for this is the better fuel degree of efficiency and the change of fuels from a fuel mixture to natural gas. Renewable energies with neutral CO2-balances can become established quickly and on large scale on the heat market.
