What is cogeneration?

The solution for efficient self-production of energy

Cogeneration, also known as CHP (Combined Heat and Power), is a technology that allows electricity and heat to be produced simultaneously from a single fuel source, such as natural gas, biogas or other renewable fuels.

Unlike traditional systems, in which most of the energy is dispersed in the form of heat, cogeneration recovers and utilises that heat, achieving efficiencies of over 90%.

A model of energy efficiency

Not just savings and efficiency.
Choosing cogeneration means generating energy in a sustainable way, reducing environmental impact and making the most of available resources.

We use natural gas and biogas to power tailor-made plants, with reliable, advanced technology that is ready to respond to energy challenges.


Customised energy for your business
Cogeneration can be broken down into:
Micro-cogeneration

Under 50 kWe, ideal for small businesses such as hotels, swimming
pools, nursing homes, offices and apartment buildings.

Industrial cogeneration

From 50 kWe up to 2 MW, custom-designed for higher energy requirements.

Trigeneration

In addition to electricity and heat, chilled water is also produced for applications that require cooling (e.g. food industry or temperature-controlled logistics).

Cogeneration is a solution already available to meet the challenges of the energy transition.

It can also be powered by renewable sources such as biogas, syngas and vegetable oils, contributing to the circular economy and the valorisation of waste.

Furthermore, it integrates easily with other technologies such as photovoltaics, heat pumps and storage systems to create a flexible and resilient energy mix.
