Using Recovered Heat to Displace Fossil Fuel
Basic of Cogeneration: The energy savings when more than one energy need is served by the burning of one fuel

In Cogeneration-based Eco-Industrial Networks, heat rejected by the Cogeneration system and other processes in the Network is used by other processes in the network. This provides Environmental & Economic Benefits – Clean Energy as well as other benefits as explained

USING RECOVERED HEAT TO DISPLACE FOSSIL FUEL
Cogenerated Electricity is as Green as wind or solar but delivers electricity whether or not the wind is blowing or the sun is shining

Single purpose thermal electric power plants reject some 50% of the fuel heat to water bodies or the atmosphere. Cogeneration systems recover this heat which is rejected by the electric power cycle and use it to displace fossil fuel

There is a Need for an Incentive To Buy Cogenerated Electricity, particularly at night, thus to facilitate making recovered heat available for use in industrial processes or for space heating to displace fossil fuel day and night
