Editors Letter
What is needed now
is a robust policy
approach to cogen
I
t seems that barely a week goes by without cogeneration
being in the news in the United States. In this issue of
COSPP, we look at whats been happening in Ohio where
moves to promote clean sources of energy have taken
root in the past fve years.
In May 2008, the Ohio General Assembly passed the states
landmark Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard as part of
Senate Bill 221. The bipartisan legislation requires Ohios
utilities to obtain an increasing percentage of electricity
from renewable sources, including cogeneration/CHP.
The Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard has encouraged
signifcant private investment through renewable energy
development and in 2013, utilities need to acquire 3% of
their electricity supplies from such sources.
Part of the success of such measures is due to growing
interest and awareness of environmental issues. A recent
poll found that almost 60% of Ohioans would even be
willing to pay, if necessary, up to $3 per month, on top of
their electricity bills which average $100 a month, in order
to use clean electricity sources.
Meanwhile, Ohio Senate Public Utilities Committee, is
planning to hold hearings reviewing the states clean
energy law, which should confrm and continue the positive
steps Ohio has taken on clean energy.
A similar process appears to be taking place in New
York, where the New York State Senate passed legislation
to encourage the installation of renewable energy
technologies by making them more cost effcient and
accessible.
The bill (S1111) would add technologies including farm-
based biogas and residential micro-CHP to current state
fnancing initiatives that help make energy effciency
upgrades more attractive to potential consumers, reduce
fossil fuel consumption, and support job growth in the
clean energy sector.
Renewable energy technologies are an extremely
important part of New York States energy future, said
Senator Maziarz, Chairman of the Senate Energy and
Telecommunications Committee. The addition of these
technologies provides residents, local businesses and
not-for-profts accessibility to these energy alternatives that
they might otherwise have not invested in.
And this is exactly the point. Whats happened in Ohio
and whats set to happen in New York highlights the
advantages of a bottom-up approach to legislation that
boosts and promotes CHP. When the environmental, social
and fnancial benefts are fully explained to stakeholders
then support for the technology rises. Having a great
technology means nothing if people dont welcome it and
there is also a PR battle that needs to be won.
This is the challenge currently facing India, which
we also feature in this issue. The poor state of the Indian
grid is a nation scandal and there is clearly a role for
cogeneration/distributed generation in mitigating some
of the worst impacts of this. Unfortunately, India, and many
other poor countries in Asia, have not done nearly enough
to promote cogen. But there is still time, and as Ohio has
shown, god laws can make a world of difference.

CHP and on-site
renewables
Energiewende in action
W
hat happens in
Germany matters to
the rest of Europe; not
only is it an economic
and fnancial powerhouse, it has also
initiated a radical strategy in energy
policy. Indeed its Energiewende
(energy transition strategy) is being
watched around the world.
Although Germany has been
pursuing ambitious climate and
energy policies for quite a while,
the 2011 Energiewende initiative
represents a distinct raising of its game
to transition away from fossil fuels and
nuclear power to renewables and
energy effciency. Greenhouse gas
emissions are to be cut by 40% by
2020 and by at least 80% by 2050
targets similar to those also set by the
UK government.
So what does this mean for
CHP/cogeneration and wider
decentralized energy? Well, the new
CHP plant currently being built by
Siemens in Dusseldorf, and scheduled
to deliver 300 MW of thermal energy
to the local district heating network
from 2016, is a fne example of how
Germany is planning to increase
its use of CHP as part of its larger
Energiewende strategy. Siemens
aims to operate the gas turbine-
based Dusseldorf plant at an overall
effciency of 85%, with a record turbine
effciency of just over 61%, and also
generate nearly 600 MW of power.
Germany is already the largest
single market for CHP in Europe;
accounting for more than 20% of
the electricity generated from cogen
across the EU-27, but is going to
need many more new CHP plants
to meet a target of 25% of its own
power generation to come from CHP
by 2020. So says a new report on the
German CHP situation published by
the Brussels-based trade association
and lobby group COGEN Europe. CHP
currently generates around 15% of
total power produced in Germany.
The revised target was set just last
year in a new CHP Law. The German
government hopes to end recent
weak growth in CHP development,
due to the continuing economic
slowdown and unfavourable gas
prices, by the payment of higher
premiums for electricity generated by
plants operating in CHP mode.
The 2012 CHP Law also re-states the
principle of priority access to the grid
for CHP and gives support for heat
networks and energy storage. The
cogeneration sector will be assisted
by the 2012 Renewable Energy law,
which enhances opportunities for
biomass-fuelled CHP; and measures
that support renewable heat and the
micro-CHP.
Maybe Germany should look to
its major car manufacturer, BMW, for
inspiration? Several of the companys
domestic production facilities are
powered by cogeneration plants
installed by GE and incorporating
gas engines manufactured in
Austria by GE Jenbacher. The latest
installation, at BMWs Regensburg
factory in Bavaria has been operating
an 11 MWe cogeneration plant,
incorporating four Jenbacher
cogeneration modules, since the start
of this year. The cogeneration plant
supplies nearly 10 MW of process heat
and a third of the total power needed
at the factory.
But why stop with CHP? BMW has
also taken delivery of four 2.5 MW
wind turbines from Nordex to supply
a quarter of the power needed at
its Leipzig manufacturing plant in
eastern Germany, and the company
has ambitions to generate most of its
on-site power needs from renewables
eventually.
Looking outside Germany for the
moment, BMWs car assembly plant in
South Carolina, US, famously has been
using renewable landfll gas, piped for
6 km from a nearby landfll site, to fuel
a CHP plant for a decade now. All of
the energy used in the paint shop,
and 70% of the total energy used at
the site comes from landfll gas-fuelled
CHP. The original, 4.4 MW CHP
installation has been replaced with
a larger and more effcient plant, and
the scheme regularly wins awards in
the US for technical innovation and
sustainability.
BMW seems to be on its own course
of transitioning from fossil fuels to
renewables and energy effciency
Energiewende in action!

Operating economy starts with fuel economy.
Both start with Original Parts and Original Service.
Fuel is the overwhelming element in the life cycle costs of an engine. Only a 1%
increase in fuel consumption can cost as much as 80,000 dollars on a 10 MW engine
at a plant operating 8000 hours per year. With their geometrical precision, the excel-
lent strength and surface quality of their high grade materials, Original Parts fitted
during Original Service from ABB Turbocharging are designed to restore the efficiency,
pressure ratio and dependability of your ABB turbocharger. For your engine this
means optimized fuel efficiency, availability, reliability and emissions.

Comment
T
here is a ticking time bomb in
the power market that most
people are either unaware
of or choose to ignore. The
problem (or opportunity) arises
from the fact that abundant natural
gas supplies have made on-site
generation an economic winner for
a growing number of customers. As
more people fgure this out some
may choose to leave the system
entirely. Of course the need for
storage, backup and more power
than thermal would increase project
costs. However, if the new economics
push customers to exit the legacy
utility system it will drive up the cost
for the remaining customers as
the nominator of the rate equation
increases (as a result of higher costs)
and the denominator declines (as
existing customers leave). The last
one left can just turn off the lights.
We have seen this phenomenon in
the telecom industry as competitive
cellular options allow more and
more people to forego the copper
wire into the home. This has resulted
in some staggering price increases
for traditional landline service as the
telecoms are faced with recovering
growing system upgrade and
maintenance costs from an ever-
shrinking pool.
As a result of the shale revolution
taking place in the US, the
fundamentals never looked better
for on-site natural gas fueled-power
solutions. This is not just a short-
term anomaly, but rather looks like
a long-term trend that will make
on-site power projects increasingly
attractive for years ahead. The
concept of on-site power, moving the
source of generation closer to the
point of use, is one that would seem
to have many natural advantages in
terms of effciency, energy security,
reliability, siting and emissions to
name a few. However, for a multitude
of reasons, on-site power projects
face challenges and hurdles that
have prevented greater levels of
investment from being realized.
While many of these challenges
and hurdles are artifcial creations of
regulation and protectionism, in the
past there were also fundamental
challenges in markets and
technology.
The fuel challenge looks like it has
been addressed (at least for next
150 years) as we recognise that
the abundance of shale gas is real
and the productivity of these wells
seems to be getting better with time
as we improve our understanding
of the resource base. While the
current price levels do not support
new drilling for shale gas, should
prices begin to rise there are ample
reserves that will become economic
to produce.
The second driver is the changing
composition of delivered power
costs. In a telling article by Bill
Pentland for Forbes, he notes that
electrons consumed in New York
City cost more for the delivery than
for the generation. This looks like a
trend that will not be easily reversed
as aging infrastructure needs
to be replaced and upgraded.
According to Pentland, nearly 75% of
transmission lines and transformers
are 25 years or older, and 60% of
circuit breakers are more than 30
years old. Electricity use increased by
58% between 1980 and 1999. During
the same time period, investment in
transmission infrastructure declined
by nearly half.
Then layer on top of these two
fundamental trends other factors,
such as new generating technology
that can produce highly effcient
power at smaller scale, need for
distributed reliability to protect
against weather events of growing
severity, retirement of low-cost legacy
coal plants, costly investments
in Smart Grid technology, and a
president in the White House who
has already issued a lofty challenge
in the form of a 40 GW goal for
distributed power by 2020, and it is
easy to see that the future for on-site
power is indeed bright. The grid is
by no means dead, but stay tuned
as these changing competitive
dynamics play out over time in select
markets in the US and globally.

CHP outlook report
A
recent report by
Pike Research
Combined Heat
and Power for
Commercial Buildings,
analyses the global market
potential for commercial
CHP systems for a range
of building applications
including hospitals,
universities and airports
using technologies such as
internal combustion engines,
fuel cells, Stirling engines,
and Organic Rankine Cycle.
The report fnds that current
installations of combined heat
and power (CHP) systems
in commercial buildings are
mostly confned to developed
markets in Europe, as well as
South Korea, Japan and theUS.
Today, though, a growing
number of commercial users
are installing CHP systems
as a means of reducing
operating costs, improving
power reliability and reducing
carbon emissions. According
to the report, this market for
CHP will signifcantly grow from
US$2.2 billion in 2012 to over
$11 billion in 2022.
A new study fnds that the propects for cogeneration in the commercial sector
is promising. Richard Baillie presents its main fndings, as well as looking at the
growth prospects for the wider CHP market in the coming decade.
Bullish outlook
for commercial CHP sector

CHP outlook report
Falling natural gas prices
in the United States and
expanding policy incentives
across Asia Pacifc and Europe
are driving an increase in
commercial CHP installations,
according to senior research
analyst Mackinnon Lawrence.
While applications to date
have been limited to large
facilities, such as hospitals
and universities, with near
24/7 thermal and electrical
loads, improved economics
around smaller installations
and advances in prime mover
technologies are opening up
opportunities across previously
untapped segments, including
smaller retail [outlets], sports
clubs and airports.
Lawrence adds that CHP
systems can help reduce the
cost of heating, cooling, or
providing power to a wide
variety of commercial building
types. According to the report,
annual installations will reach
nearly 39 GW in 2012. That
number will more than double
by 2022, the study concludes,
reaching 79.5 GW.
The use of CHP can reduce
a buildings energy demand
by up to 40% when compared
to the separate production
of heat and power, says
Lawrence. Although the high
upfront cost of CHP systems
and the challenge of fnding
suitable uses for the heat
generated are key barriers,
relatively short payback periods
have allowed many major
companies to invest in these
energy-savingtechnologies.
Commercial combined
heat and power systems, are
garnering increased interest
from policy makers, utilities and
building owners in a growing
number of countries.
The technologies behind
many CHP products have
been under development for
more than a decade. Today,
the market is beginning to gain
momentum and an increasing
number of companies are
introducing increasingly
standardised commercial
products. Driven by concerns
about grid reliability, meeting
growing demand for electricity,
increasing grid effciency,
and reducing greenhouse
gas emissions, governments
around the world are also
focused on increasing
subsidies and other incentives
for the adoption of CHP systems
and related building effciency
technologies, fnds the report.
CHP represents a new
paradigm for commercial
building applications. As
an integrated system, CHP
includes a suite of prime
mover technologies such as
gas turbines, microturbines,
fuel cells, paired with software
and component hardware.
Since CHP deployments are
not dependent on a single
breakthrough technology,
they are widely available for
a range of applications, but
intrinsically diffcult to market to
potential end users, architects,
and engineers, it adds.
The report goes on to state
that CHP units are playing
an increasingly important
role in delivering on-site
power and heat for a variety
of residential, commercial,
institutional, and industrial
applications. Cogeneration
technologies have been an
area of emphasis in Europe
since the 1980s but up to this
point, CHP has not been widely
adoptedelsewhere.
Nevertheless, CHP provides
an opportunity for end users to
generate both electricity and
heat on a highly distributed
and localised basis, reduce
energy expenses and ensure
reliable power. Moreover, in
some cases, CHP can be
integrated into Smart Grids,
concludes the report.
It also warns that although
the potential for CHP market
growth is strong in the
commercial sector, several
market conditions must
coincide in order to make CHP
units a reasonable alternative
to the grid or even other self-
generation technologies.
These conditions include
appropriate matching of
thermal and electrical output
to the customers needs,
cooperation of utilities for
interconnection and other
implementation requirements,
classifcation of CHP as a
renewable energy for inclusion
in government programmes,
relatively high thermal
requirements (compared to
electrical requirements), and
high or volatile spark spreads.
Pikes analysis indicates that
the right factors are aligning
in the market to create a
signifcant growth opportunity
for CHP over the next decade,
and the frm forecasts strong
growth in unit shipments and
revenues between 2011 and
2021. During that period,
residential and commercial
markets are expected to
experience the highest
growthrates.
CHPs wider outlook
In terms of geography, Europe
is currently the leading market
for commercial CHP installa-
tions, with North America a
close second. Over the next
decade, though, according to
the report, Asia-Pacifc will be
the hottest market for CHP in
commercial buildings, with a
compound annual growth rate
of nearly 20%. Growth rates in
Africa and the Middle East will
also be high, but these markets
will remain relativleysmall.
Richard Martin, editorial
director for energy at Pike
Research, says that Indias
economy has seen massive
growth over the past few
years, leading to a sharp rise
in greenhouse gas emissions,
which should help to facilitate
the growth in CHP. He estimates
that India could grow from its
current base of less than 10 GW
to almost 28 GW of CHP in 2015
and 85 GW in 2030. CHP and
district heating and cooling
could be implemented in
smaller industrial parks, special
economic zones and other
areas with a concentration
of large commercial and
software establishments
needing secure, low-cost heat,
cooling and power.
Estimates of CHP in India
have been lacking and
those that do exist sometimes
disagree over what should
be classifed as CHP, but it
probably currently accounts for
around 5% of the total energy
generatedm with strong growth
potential, he adds.
China is also actively
promoting CHP and has
now become the worlds
second-largest country in
terms of cogen capacity,
which provides more than
18% of nationwide thermal
generation capacity. Almost
13% of the nations electricity
and 60% of urban central
heating is now generated by
cogeneration.
Most of this capacity is
coal-fred, serving municipal
heating systems and energy
intensive industries, consisting
of mid-sized or small heat
plants and boilers because
until quite recently large power
plants in China would rarely
implement CHP projects.
China is estimated to have
tapped into less than 20% of
its industrial CHP potential. The
National Development and
Reform Commission has set a
goal of 200 GW of CHP by 2020
which, based on current
projections, would exceed a
ffth of installed power capacity.
While ambitious, the target
is eminently reachable.
Opportunities for CHP growth
abound. Yet several factors
have slowed adoption of
distributed energy and

cogeneration strategies.
High coal and gas prices
coupled with artifcially-low
electricity tariffs exacerbate
the economic challenges of
specifc projects. Continuing
government control and slow
energy industry liberalisation
create regulatory uncertainty
within the electricity sector.
Suspicions of technology
dependability and maintain-
ability still exist and grid
interconnection issues persist.
Turning to Europe, cogen
currently accounts for about
11% of electricity production
in the rgion, but recent trends
show that CHP is seen as a key
strategy in the battle to improve
energy effciency, increase fuel
security and reduce carbon
emissions, and is increasingly
expected to play a key role
in Europes, and the worlds,
future energy landscapes.
According to the Pike report,
the majority of CHP in Europe
is fossil fuel based, but there
is a growing trend toward
using renewable fuels. In
particular,biomass.
CHP grew pretty fast [in
Europe] over the past two
decades but growth has
slowed in many countries
recently, A lot of utilities are
looking to expand and build
new power plants, only a
few are actively pursuing
CHP, with the majority
looking to improve effciency
technologies and cleaner
coal solutions for conventional
power generation and utilities
are moving to reduce CO
2

emissions by increasing their
share of renewable/biomass
energy capacity, says Martin.
In countries such as
Denmark and Finland this
is primarily a result of CHP
deployment approaching
saturation, while in other
countries it is due to economic
factors such as fuctuating
gas and electricity prices, and
shifting focus to renewable
energies. But the renewed
push toward higher-effciency
CHP and biomass-based CHP
is likely to stimulate new growth.
Though there has
been limited growth in the
deployment of cogeneration
technologies in the last few
years, there has recently
been a renewed push across
Europe with new policies
and incentives introduced,
addsMartin.
The European Union had a
chance to strengthen its CHP
laws in 2012, when member
states agreed, after assiduous
rounds of negotiations, to
adopt the Energy Effciency
Directive, or EED. But the CHP
industry called it a missed
opportunity for European
cogen.
The Pike report notes
that some electric and gas
utilities are promoting the
introduction of micro-CHP to
the market, working with a
range of manufacturers while
utilities active in transitional
economies in Central and
Eastern Europe (including
Russia) are seeking to expand
large-scale CHP capacity
featuring more effcient prime
mover technologies for gas/
coal-fueled power generation.
Over in Asia, Japan is also
starting to see a wider role
for CHP in helping to meet
emissions targets and energy
effciency goals, accompanied
by the introduction of area-
wide district energy and
other measures to address
barriers and raise awareness.
The downside is that Japan
lacks a national CHP/DHC
development strategy and
barriers to interconnection
remain in place.
Nevertheless, with Japan
seeking to boost its renewable
energy and energy effciency
programmes, CHP is almost
certain to take a bigger slice
of the energy pie. Backed by
a strong policy network, CHP
could generate in the region
of 199 TWh per year in Japan
by 2030, according to the
International Energy Authority.
And if Fukushima really did
undermine its confdence
in nuclear power, as public
opinion polls suggest it has,
then cogeneration could,
particularly if electricity
companies raise purchase
prices to buy in more electricity.
Given the security of supply
issues that Japan now faces,
all kinds of CHP are likely to get
greater backing from policy
makers. But there is likely to be
a strong focus on micro-CHP,
establishing Japan as a key
provider of smaller-scale
commercial and residential
CHP units using microturbines
and fuel cells. In fact, a variety
of policies to boost this market
already include subsidies for
high-effciency gas-fred units
and tax benefts for small and
medium-sized businesses that
adopt CHP.
But perhaps the outlook
for CHP now burns brightest
in the US, after President
Barack Obamas September
2012 decision to set binding
targets for the proliferation of
CHP plants by 2020 a move
welcomed as a game changer
by the cogeneration industry.
Obamas order was aimed
at accelerating investments in
industrial energy effciency. This
could result in the US reducing
150 million tonnes of carbon
emissions annually while
generating up to 40 GW.
The most important thing
about the US approach is that
it is targeting regulation, which
is probably one of the most
important barriers to global
growth in CHP, says Martin.

crisis lingering,
there is now
an added focus on the
pressing need to stimulate
economic recovery. CHP
can help here. It has a clear
role to play in the region
because these near-term
economic imperatives must
be reconciled with long-
term climate and energy
objectives.
CHP installations wherever
they exist operate at very high
overall energy effciency, and
with proper market and policy
design they can contribute to
the competitiveness of their
hosts, the installed base of
whom contributes around
15 million tonnes of oil
equivalent (Mtoe) of primary
energy savings to the EU
economy and releases money
that would otherwise mainly
go to buy imported fuel to
circulate and be invested
elsewhere.
The underlying challenge
for the CHP sector at this time
in several Member States
is to maintain the existing
investments in CHP while at
the same time helping the
industries that host cogen
to continue its use at a time
when the the downturn has
put the electricity market into
a state of over-supply in several
territories.
Despite the support it enjoys region-wide and at Member State level, CHP in the European
Union (EU) may not necessarily see continued momentum, says Dr Fiona Riddoch.
Industry should help cement cogenerations achievements across the continent.

When Member States with
constrained budgets review
their policy approaches
towards the electricity sector in
particular, CHP does not always
get the appropriate attention.
Cogeneration is the best
available technology in the
paper, chemicals, refnery and
food sectors but is a challenge
for national policy makers, who
often are not fully aware of its
role and operation in industry.
There is also a tendency to turn
the troubles in the electricity
sector into troubles in industry
as a whole. This is a challenge
for the cogeneration sector.
Adapt and respond
Support measures for
renewables have recently
been revised in many EU
Member States. Germany
provides a good example of
how CHP legislation can adapt
and respond appropriately to
negative market conditions
and promote energy effciency
and signifcant emissions
reductions.
CHP is well supported in
Germany, where the original
scheme has seen at least three
revisions in the past six years, all
aimed at refning the support
so as to trigger a budgeted
and desired change.
To overcome an
unfavourable spark spread,
the nations CHP law offers
a subsidy that tops up the
market price for electricity.
In this way investors face an
acceptable time period before
seeing a return on investment.
For some German
businesses that have installed
CHP this has fallen from seven
years to four because of the
new measures. In addition,
given the disadvantage of CHP
installations covered by the EU
ETS over heat-only producing
installations, the German law
offers a bonus to these classes
of cogeneration units on top of
the subsidy.
However, it is not easy
to make good legislation.
Gradually and increasingly EU
Member States are realising
that policies will need fne
tuning once introduced.
European nations are
presenting policies in which
revision and adjustment
processes are transparent and
follow a clear procedure.
Industry and business
also has a role in ensuring
that nations draft good
legislation. They must be
active and present right at the
beginning, when new laws are
proposed. They must work in
the early days, often unseen
and without great acclaim,
to propose, comment and
caution governments as their
policymakers devise new
legislation for a specifc sector.
Policy devised for one sector
can unintentionally impact
another sector. Unfortunately
as CHP straddles the heat and
electricity markets, it tends
to experience such negative
outcomes more often than
desirable ones. Legislation
concerning fuel or aimed at
the electricity utility sector will
also impact cogeneration.
The CHP industry, business
and the wider stakeholder
group must recognise this and
be prepared to contribute to
the evolution of legislation to
lower the risk of unintended
consequences.
Strong support
Despite the long shadow
of the economic crisis, the
EU has re-committed itself
to improvements in energy
effciency. The European
Parliament has passed Energy
Effciency Directive (EED)
2012/27/EC, which is major
energy-related legislation
that aims to close the gap
emerging between its energy
savings target and progress
on energy savings in the 27
Member States.
1303COSPP_18 18 3/26/13 9:08 AM
While the EED is written
specifcally with CHP in
mind, the details of how it
is implemented will dictate
whether it is successfully
translated into national
action without unintended
consequences.
The promotion of CHP as
a clear energy effciency
technique with measureable
results has also been
re-emphasised by the
Directive, which all Member
States must now transpose
by 2014. In that process they
must assess cogeneration and
use the results to fnd suitable
support measures for it. Those
short and near-term actions
triggered by the current over-
capacity in the electricity
sector, which tend not to
strengthen CHP, will inevitably
have to come under scrutiny
during the implementation of
the EED.
It would be wise for the 27
national governments of the
EU to consider, how the EED will
impact on their policies that
affect CHP. In this context, the
Commission indicated in its
communication of November
2012 Making the internal
energy market work that in
the future Brussels will take up
more vigorously what it calls
the enforcement challenge
around the internal energy
market. This tendency is widely
expected across energy policy.
Near-term response
The main challenge for the
sector is to ensure that the
effciency benefts already
achieved by CHP and the
decarbonising of industry are
maintained even at a time of
restricted resources. There is
no doubt that cogenerators
will have to make diffcult
changes but these should be
proportionate to the role of
CHP in providing vital heat to its
customers and not just power
to the grid. CHP is at the heart
of best available technology
for several industries. It will
play a vital role in maintaining
these industries through the
economic challenges they
currently face.
A risk exists that despite
the support of the EED, the
current adjustments of policy
will mean that CHP plants
will receive less than equal
treatment and that the
unintended consequences
of such policy will hit cogens
host industries and the citizens
they employ. Should this
materialise the existing CHP
base could begin to erode,
meaning that the energy
savings gap in Europes energy
effciency target to 2020 opens
wider and that hard-won gains
would have to be won again.
Manufacturers of CHP
equipment and industrial CHP
users have a clear role to play
in achieving a high-effciency
low-carbon society in Europe.
Key manufacturers will
present their views on how
the industry is adjusting to
the rapidly changing energy
policy demands at the COGEN
Europe Annual Conference,
on 18-19 April in Brussels.
Industrial users will also explain
their business reasons for
choosing CHP and how this
has helped to reduce energy
bills. For more information, visit

Indias on-site power potential
I
t is no secret that Indias
national electricity grid
is in urgent need of a
major overhaul.
Just last year, 10% of the
worlds population faced a
series of power cuts Indias
Northern and Eastern grids
came to halt and 600 million
people were confronted
with the perilous state of the
countrys network system.
Moreover, a grid failure of
this magnitude has focused
attention on the massive
demand for power in India
and its struggle to generate a
much-needed supply.
The bottom line is that
although Indias generation
capacity is the ffth largest
in the world behind the US,
China, Japan, and Russia, its
power development is much
further behind. There are still
almost 289 million people
without access to electricity,
accounting for up to 25%
of the total population. In
rural areas, the fgure is more
like 33%. Some big states,
especially those in the south,
often have a power shortage
of 12% during peak hours, and
even the capital New Delhi
suffers regulalry from supply
shortages.
The root cause of last years
blackout can be traced to the
weak grid structure that has
been allowed to develop for
many years. There is also a lack
of a centralized authority with
overall responsibility for the grid.
As things stand, the Power Grid
Indias dramatic grid failure last year unmistakingly demonstrated the greater need
for decentralized energy in the sub-continent, writes Richard Baillie.
Can distributed energy
provide the answers to Indias grid dilemma?
In July last year, more than half of Indias population was plunged into darkenss following a series of blackouts Credit: Keith Brown
1303COSPP_20 20 3/26/13 9:08 AM
Corporation of India Limited is
responsible for the inter-state
transmission of electricity and
controls the national grid
infrastructure, which comprises
more than 10,000 km of power
lines. Local power bureaus or
private suppliers control the
distribution networks. There
is no unifed operation and
management system. In this
sense, different states act on
their own and often draw more
power than they are allowed to
from the national grid, leading
to overloaded grid operation.
To further complicate
matters, its national network
system is categorised into fve
regional grids - the Northern
Grid, Southern Grid, Western
Grid, Eastern Region and
North Eastern Regional Grids.
All are interconnected with
synchronous links - i.e. power
transfer between regional
grids is based on supply and
demand, with the except of
the Southern Grid, which is
connected via asynchronous
links. However, it is proposed
However, it is proposed
that by 2013-14 the latter
is connected to the other
grids synchronously, thereby
creating a single national grid.
This could help to alleviate
matters.
India aims to expand
its generation capacity by
44% over the next fve years.
In June 2012, the countrys
power supply fell short by 5.8%
against a peak-hour demand
for 128 GW, according to
government data.
Another problem, however, is
that most of Indias grid system
transmits electricity by back-
to-back DC interconnections.
In this type of infrastructure,
if there is a breakout in one
states grid system, connected
grids will also be affected,
experiencing substantial
drops in their power carrying
capapcity. Because of this,
it is not possible for different
districts cannot provide strong
support to each other or share
their resources in case of an
emergency.
Thus, serious concerns
have been once again raised
about the countrys growing
infrastructure needs and
inability to meet its energy
demand. Government offcials
concluded, The grid failed
because of the overloading
of power, and contend that
many states tried to draw
more power from the grid than
they were allotted.
The countrys lack of
energy security is a major
constraint to its development.
The slow pace of tariff reforms
is hindering infrastructure
investment at the state level
in most parts of the country.
Furthermore, the government
has allowed wheeling of
power and recommended
a 2% charge. However, some
states do not allow wheeling,
while others have imposed
excessive charges of over
15%. Thus, the centralized
model of power generation,
transmission and distribution is
growing more and more costly
to maintain at current levels to
meet increasing energy needs.
The continuing blackout and
shortage of power are clearly
hampering Indias economic
growth and its capacity for
growth.
For economic, as well as
environmental reasons, India
is now looking to shift towards
a decentralized off-grid model,
including renewable-based
sources like solar, wind, hydro,
biomass, biogas, geothermal
and hydrogen-fuelled fuel cells.
Projects are moving
fastest in the industrial
state of Maharashtra. There,
cogeneration projects with
installed capacity to generate
374 MW of power are now on
line, bringing the total power
generation from cogeneration
plants in the state to 1101 MW.
Of the total power generation,
58%, about 638 MW, will be
pumped in the state grid and
remaining would be utilised by
sugar factories to meet their
daily energy requirements.
The leftovers after crushing
sugarcane are dried and
converted into bagasse.
The bagasse is used for
combustion to generate
power. It meets the power
requirement of the sugar
factories and surplus can be
pumped into the state grid.
Cogeneration has become
additional source of income
for many sugar factories in the
state.
Speaking to the Times
of India, State Sugar
Commissioner Vijay Singhal
said, As many as 22 sugar
factories in the state have
started construction of
cogeneration project in the
vicinity of the factories. The
power is primarily used for
running the sugar factory,
generally during the period
between November and
April. In the last few years,
the crushing capacity of
sugar factories from Western
Maharashtra has increased,
leading to increase in power
generation. Today, 601.4 MW
power is generated by cogen
plants of 37 sugar factories
and another 22 factories are
nearing completion of their
cogen plants. They will add
374.5 MW and once these 22
projects start operating, total
power output will be 1,101 MW
by the end of this fscal.
Tata Power, an independent
power producer and division
of Tata, an industrial giant
with businesses in steel,
software, cars, chemicals,
and telecommunications, is
also exploring whether the
economics of smaller-scale
distributed energy can be
made to add up to a cost-
effective business plan that
can be rolled out across India.
Tata Power is projecting
rapid growth from about 3,000
MW of capacity now to 25,000
MW later this decade. As part
of a long-term sustainability
plan, Tata Power intends to beef
up its use of clean, renewable
power, notably hydropower,
where it already has some
projects under development.
Tata Power is also putting
smaller bets on other clean-
energy technologies for
distributed power generation,
for example, Tata Power is
pursuing a model where a
cooperative of farmers would
sell agricultural residue to Tata
Power, which would operate
an on-site power generation
unit to sell power to that
community. To generate power,
Tata expects to use a small-
scale 100 kW gasifcation
system, while exploring other
technologies, such as wind or
solar, should be explored as
well, he said.
The nation and Tata Power
are on a growth path and it
is [a] diffcult hill [to climb] to
become clean. We hope that
once we are at [the summit],
the next phase of growth
after 2025 will [require] these
[clean] technologies and
[we will] expand on those,
said Tata head of business
development Suresh Malhotra.
If Tata Power does have an
economic interest in pursuing
distributed clean energy, its
near future is mostly centralized
dirty power. Of its 3000 MW of
capacity, about two-thirds of
that comes from coal, gas, or
oil. There are another 450 MW
from hydro and 200 MW from
wind. In the next 10 to 15 years,
sadly much of the new power
to come on line will come from
burning fossil fuels.
Indias Ministry of New and
Renewable Energy (MNRE)
plans and promotes the
development of all sources
of renewable energy. MNRE
is looking to see renewables
1303COSPP_21 21 3/26/13 9:08 AM

First of all, its the right thing
to do, but we think well have
a competitive advantage
when CO

regulation comes
down the [line] two or fve
years from now, Malhotra said.
From a clean-tech point of
view, we are taking a proactive
approach...We think in the
longer term, grid parity will be
achieved cost-wise.
Furthermore, with the
announcement of the
National Action Plan on
Climate Change (NAPCC),
there is a marked shift in policy
to diversifying the generation
mix to lower-carbon intensity
options. The NAPCC calls
for boosting renewable
energys share of the national
generation from 2% to 5%,
with specifc emphasis on
signifcantly increasing
solars share. It envisions the
increased use of distributed
solar photovoltaic (PV) cells,
but also, as technology
permits, commercial-scale
concentrating solar power.
The Electricity Act 2003 and
the NAPCC together provide
a roadmap for increasing the
share of renewables in the total
generation mix. However, the
utilities policy on renewable
and distributed generation
units seems to overlook the
benefts of the latter in remote
areas.
The potential for using
microturbines and heat
recovery boilers from small
generators is signifcantly
increasing. For example,
NEERU, a biogas company
in Andhra Pradesh, and
Capstone Turbines of the US
are working with Mukund
Dairy Farms in Andhra Pradesh
to set up a microturbine-
based cogeneration system
to generate electricity
and use the residual heat
in a pasteurization plant.
Unfortunately, renewable
energy resources are not
evenly spread across the
country and the high cost of
reneable-based distributed
generation can discourage
local distribution companies
from purchasing more than
their obligatory amount of
renewable generation.
To combat this, the Energy
and Resources Institute
(TERI) is looking to build
distributed generation-based
power system or mini-grids,
which can be installed and
subsequently integrated into
the conventional utility grid or
used to provide electricity for
localised loads.
TERI has designed,
developed, and demonstrated
Indias frst-of-its-kind Smart
Mini-Grid system based on
renewable energy. The aim
was to optimally use smarter
control of distributed energy
sources, combined with
intelligent management of
loads to improve the effciency
and reliability of the overall
mini-grid system.
TERI maintains that its
Smart Mini-Grid has greater
resistance to loading as
compared to the conventional
grid system because it
optimises the use of multiple
energy resources to meet
different loads
The Smart Mini-Grid also
has the capability to respond
automatically to network
problems and minimise
network disruptions. It can
anticipate and respond
to problems and avoid or
mitigate power outages,
power quality problems and
service disruptions by using
real-time information from
embedded sensors and
automated controls. The grid
is also equipped with a self-
healing system that enables
it to rapidly detect, analyze,
respond to disturbances and
restore supply.
The TERI Smart Mini-Grid
facility combines the following
resources -- a 3.3 kWp wind
generator, a 1 kWp thin-flm
solar PV, a 12.5 kW solar PV, a
100 kWe biomass gasifer and a
600 Ah, 48 V storage battery.
A diesel generator has also
been added to the system to
negate the intermittency of
the renewable resources and
hence ensure a reliable power
supply.
Such smart min-grid systems
have great potential, not only
in commercial and industrial
complexes, but also in hospitals,
shopping malls, apartments,
residential complexes,
educational institutions and
remote unelectrifed, as well as
electrifed locations to ensure
maximum fexibility, reliability,
and safety, with an enhanced
effciency of the overall system.
TERIs Smart Mini-Grid
model can provide solutions
to problems of energy security
and sustainability, and ensure
reliable quality power. And TERI
frmly believe that such a model
can be used to strengthen the
Indias electricity sector and
enhance the performance
of rural electricity supply
systems. This system enhances
effciency and offers maximum
reliability fexibility and safety
in the overall electricity
distribution network.
Large-scale implementation
of such systems will go a long
way in helping to meet the
energy needs of the country.
It can also be integrated with
the existing programmes of
MNRE, such as the Jawaharlal
Nehru National Solar Mission,
which aims to achieve 20 GW
of grid-connected solar power
by 2022, as well as the national
rural electrifcation programme.

Ohio leads on CHP
T
he state of Ohio is
being very pro-active
in promoting CHP
across its territory,
and in recent years has
been attempting to put a
structure in place to build
on this effort. The Public
Utilities Commission of Ohio
is actively engaged in a
pilot project with the US
Department of Energy (DOE)
to remove educational
and regulatory barriers to
combined heat and power
(CHP) development in Ohio
and across the nation.
The reasons for this are
fundamentally manifold: to
create distributed generation
in pockets of electricity
constraint; to provide Islands
of Power during outages for
sensitive/critical organizations
including hospitals and data
centers; and to provide black
start capabilities for everyone
else. Ohio is also looking to
assist industries in developing
emission compliance
strategies and to expand
customer choices to remain
economically competitive.
Ohio clearly has
tremendous opportunity for
CHP. Approximately 766 MW
of capacity is installed in
the state, and the US DOE
estimates Ohios market
could be 15-times that current
amount by 2025. Indeed, in
2011, the DOE released a report
The US state of Ohio is pushing ahead with plans that beneft cogeneration,
including new legislation that redefnes CHP and provides fnancial incentives,
says Richard Baillie.
Ohio sets its
sights on a bigger role for cogen
Although Ohios exisitng installed CHP base is low relative to other US states, it has ambitions to change that
1303COSPP_23 23 3/26/13 9:09 AM
Ohio leads on CHP
outlining various scenarios for
CHP potential in the state. The
fndings suggested a potential
of approximately 8000 MW
if systems were unable to
sell power and 11,000 MW if
systems could export power.
As a suite of technologies,
CHP and waste heat recovery
(WHR) have the potential to
signifcantly raise industrial
energy effciency, increase the
use of distributed generation of
electricity and reduce demand
on traditional generation
facilities, such as fossil fuel-fred
assets. That said, currently, with
few actual CHP installations,
Ohio is near the bottom in the
US for implementation, with its
766MW of installed capacity.
The reason for the gap
in terms of potential versus
implementation can be
attributed to several factors
in Ohios law, regulatory
environment and investor-
owned utility culture. All three
of those barriers legal,
regulatory and cultural must
be overcome in order to make
industrial effciency and lower
fossil fuel emissions a reality.
To help achieve these
goals, American Electric Power
Ohio (AEP Ohio) signed a
stipulation in a major rate
and restructuring case in
September 2011. This case
lasted several months, and
involved the participation
of all the major entities that
traditionally participate at the
Public Utilities Commission of
Ohio. The signed settlement
includes a provision that
requires AEP Ohio to procure
350 MW of CHP or WHR
resources. This settlement is
seen as a major win for CHP/
WHR development interests
in Ohio, and for clean
energy advocates and their
supporters. And as a direct
result of just this one case,
Ohio is currently poised to
increase the amount of CHP/
WHR in the state by 46%.
What happened in the
case was that the Ohio
Environmental Council
(OEC) reviewed AEP Ohios
proposed resource and rate
plan, identifed gaps and then
prepared an aggressive case
arguing for the inclusion of
CHP/WHR resources.
The OEC then began direct
negotiation with the company,
working to incorporate
CHP and WHR into a global
settlement for the case. The
OEC also worked directly
with other stakeholders to
incorporate CHP/WHR goals
and objectives into the
negotiation efforts by the Ohio
Manufacturing Association
who was a critical partner
in pushing for a CHP/WHR
solution to the case.
This achievement was made
possible through legal action
and staff, as well as stakeholder
engagement with fellow
environmental organizations
and the manufacturing
community. Soon, the OEC will
begin work with AEP Ohio and
manufacturing stakeholders to
build an effective mechanism
to secure this new power
resource from the marketplace,
and achieve essential cost
recovery.
Similarly, in Duke Energy
Ohios three-year rate case, the
companys recent stipulation
also contained a provision
that moves Ohio closer to
CHP reality. In that case, Duke
agreed to work with OEC to fnd
and evaluate CHP potential
in the companys Cincinnati
service territory. The results will
be an integral part of Dukes
2012 Long Term Forecast fling.
Sources of fnancing
There are various sources of
fnancing for cogeneration in
Ohio. The Energy Loan Fund
is a programme that provides
low-cost fnancing to small
businesses and manufacturers
for energy improvements that
reduce usage and associated
costs, cut fossil fuel emissions,
and/or create or retain jobs.
Funding is provided through
the Advanced Energy Fund
and the federal State Energy
Program, as well as the
American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act.
The Energy Loan Fund is
expected to result in energy,
economic, and environmental
impacts that include a
minimum reduction of 15%
in energy use relative to
existing conditions, a return
on investment that allows the
loan to be paid back within
a reasonable time period
and job creation or retention
plus an improvement in
environmental quality
Eligible activities include
energy effciency retrofts,
distributed generation, such as
CHP systems, as well as high-
effciency traffc signals and
street lighting. The maximum
loan amounts for the Energy
Loan Fund are 80% of eligible
project costs up to US$250,000
for small businesses, 80% of
eligible project costs up to
$1 million for manufacturers
and 90% of eligible project
costs up to $1 million for public
entities and non-profts.
In addition, federal funding
is available through the US
DOEs State Energy Program.
Authorisation for the State
Energy Program is under
10 CFR Part 420, while state
funding is also available
through the Advanced Energy
Fund, which is authorized by
sections 4928.61 to 4928.63 of
the Ohio Revised Code.
The Ohio Air Quality
Development Authority also
helps to fnance air quality
facilities for small and
large businesses, utilities,
government, and universities.
Such facilities constitute an
key tool that organizations
can use to become more
competitive and successful
in their respective felds, while
preserving the environment.
A legislative approach
As well as fnancial incentives,
there have been some
recent legislative changes
that make CHP in the state of
Ohio a much more attractive
proposition. Two bills that
passed through the Ohio
General Assembly in June
2012 support cogeneration
projects by qualifying them
for use by the states investor-
owned utilities to meet certain
requirements under Senate Bill
221 (SB 221), Ohios landmark
energy law enacted in 2008.
One bill, known as SB 289,
passed by both the Ohio
House and Senate classifes
cogeneration technology as
a renewable energy under
Energy Loan Fund will cover $250,000 of project costs for small businesses

the states renewable portfolio
standard (RPS), which requires
utilities to procure 12.5% of
their energy from renewable
sources by 2025.
The other bill, known as
SB 315, introduced in the
Senate at the request of
Governor John Kasich
classifes CHP technology
as both renewable energy
and energy effciency. Thus,
it qualifes it for inclusion
in the RPS or as an eligible
technology under SB.221s
energy effciency and peak-
demand reduction provisions,
which require utilities to achieve
certain annual benchmarks for
energy savings and demand
reduction.
SB 315 allows project owners
to choose which classifcation
renewable energy or energy
effciency, but not both to
apply to a particular project.
This bill promotes waste
energy recovery (WER) and
projects by qualifying them
for use by Ohios investor-
owned utilities in order to meet
certain portfolio standard
requirements under SB 221.
Specifcally, SB 315 allows
WER systems to be used to
satisfy requirements under:
(a) Ohios RPS; or (b) SB 221s
energy effciency standards,
which require utilities to
achieve cumulative energy
savings of 22% by 2025.
SB 315 also makes a clear
distinction between WER
and CHP. The bill defnes a
waste energy recovery
system as a facility that
generates electricity through
the conversion of energy from
either: (i) exhaust heat from
engines or manufacturing,
industrial commercial, or
institutional sites, except for
exhaust heat from a facility
whose primary purpose is
the generation of electricity;
or, (ii) reduction of pressure
in gas pipelines before gas
is distributed through the
pipeline, provided that the
conversion of energy to
electricity is achieved without
using additional fossil fuels.
Generally, WER systems
capture waste energy from
an industrial or commercial
process, but do not introduce
additional fossil fuel sources.
On the other hand, a
system is defned as the
co-production of electricity
and useful thermal energy
from the same fuel source
designed to achieve thermal-
effciency levels of at least
60%, with at least 20% of the
systems total useful energy
in the form of thermal energy.
CHP systems often introduce
additional fossil fuel energy
sources, such as natural gas.
The defnitions of WER and
CHP are important because SB
315 allows WER project owners
to choose whether to qualify a
system as a renewable energy
or energy effciency resource.

Ohio leads on CHP
number of facilities that are
cutting costs and increasing
their generation effciency
through the use of CHP.
With the enrollment of
34,000 students across eight
campuses, Kent State University
(KSU) is Ohios second-largest
university. The 880-acre
main KSU campus contains
115 buildings, and has an
electricity load of close to
80 million kWh annually,
and is expected to rise with
the continued expansion
of campus buildings and
residence halls.
Seeing this demand
increase on the horizon,
KSU engineers began to
consider CHP as a strategy
to meet growing energy
loads and control costs.
KSU, in conjunction with the
US DOE and Dominion East
Ohio, a leading producer
and transporter of energyin
the US, undertook a study to
investigate the benefts of
deploying CHP technology
at its new power plant facility.
The primary objectives were
to reduce fuel consumption,
decrease emissions, and lower
the cost of electricity.
The study concluded that
all of these objectives could
be met through cogeneration
units. What made KSU such a
good candidate for CHP was
not just its need for power
but also the fact that it has a
substantial year-round steam
demand in both the winter
and summer.
The system consists of a
Taurus 60 turbine, which can
run on natural gas or fuel oil
and a Taurus 70 generator
capable of generating 7.2
MW of electricity - supplied by
Solar Turbines.
Both feature heat recovery
steam generator (HRSG) units,
which enable plant operators
to use waste steam to chill
water. The 60,000 pounds of
steam captured by the HRSG
units provide more than half of
the campus steam needs.
In winter, the generators are
able to provide almost 90% of
KSUs electricity needs, while
in summer they meet 60%
of the load. In the event of a
power outage, KSUs power
system can also island itself
from the grid and produce
enough power for most of the
universitys functions.
The power plant was built in
two phases at a total cost of
$23 million. The savings on fuel
costs are substantial enough
to eclipse the CHP systems
annual maintenance costs
of more than $400,000. Total
annual savings are expected
to be more than $700,000.
Other commericial CHP and
WER projects in Ohio, funded
by the Offce of Energy include
Toledo Museum of Art and the
Toledo Convention Center,
Ohios manufacturing
sector also appears to offer
strong opportunities for CHP to
make inroads ( Table 1).
The biggest source of
Ohios waste comes from
ineffciencies in the power
sector. Almost one-third of
all energy consumed in the
state is lost during generation
and transmission, largely as
a result of an outdated grid.
According to offcial fgures,
more than 1 quadrillion BTUs
of energy, worth an estimated
$17.6 billion, was lost in this
way in 2009.
Ohio ranks in the top
fve states in the US for CHP
potential but is way down
in 44th place as regards
its adoption. By distributing
generation closer to end users
and encouraging the use of
CHP and WER, the state has
the potential to signifcantly
cut emissions while saving
substantial fossil fuel. costs

Fuel cell micro-CHP in Europe
A
lthough Elcore
GmbH, a German
maker of fuel cell
micro-CHP units,
only has a few of its products
in homes in its domestic
market, it already has high
hopes of selling plenty on
a fully commercial basis
from later this year before
spreading its wings into
other European markets.
The Munich-based frms
optimism rests largely on being
among nine suppliers picked
in the 53 million (US$71
million) European-wide Field
Trials for Residential Fuel Cell
micro-CHP project (Ene.feld).
Under the initiative,
European Union (EU) utilities,
manufacturers, research
institutes and universities will
collaborate on feld trials
across 12 EU Member States
with fuel cell micro-CHP units
ranging from 0.35 kWe, and
powered with natural gas and,
subsequently, hydrogen.
By September 2014, 960
units are due to be installed,
with each running as a
demonstrator project for
three years, during which
lifecycle costs and barriers
to commercialisation will
beassessed.
For fuel cell micro-CHP,
the project has come at a
good time. Currently, no units
are being sold on a fully
commercial basis in Europe.
Full launch targets have been
pushed back and investor
confdence is low.
Many people that we
speak to in the industry feel
that its now or never for the
technology, says Scott Dwyer,
micro-CHP research manager
at Delta-ee, analysts based in
Edinburgh, UK.
But with things like Ene.
feld and other national feld
trial projects such as CALLUX
and NIP, both in Germany, and
one in Denmark we think its
justifable to expect a wave of
product launches in the next
two to four years.
A range of technologies
is to be scrutinised under
Ene.feld: high-temperature
(HT) solid oxide fuel cells
(SOFC); low-temperature (LT)
SOFC; HT proton exchange
membrane fuel cells (PEMFC);
and LT PEMFC. The units will
be integrated into various
European heating systems
both foor standing and wall
hung either in the home or in
separate installation cabinets.
The goals are to
demonstrate market potential
and segmentation; gauge the
manufacturing and operating
costs, and the environmental
benefts of fuel cell micro-CHP;
develop product specifcations
and harmonised codes and
standards; ready a supply chain
for commercial deployment of
fuel cell micro-CHP in the 12
participating Member States;
and provide evidence to
speed up policy support from
governments and broader
adoption by new and existing
sales channels such as
through utilities.
The European Commissions
Fuel Cells and Hydrogen
Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) is
committing nearly 26 million
to Ene.feld over 60 months
from 1 September 2012, as
one of the Joint Technology
Initiatives (JTIs) under the
EUs outgoing 7th Framework
Programme for funding
research and development.
The European Commissions
Directorate General for Energy
(DG Energy) expects this
spend to leverage at least
the same commitment from
participating industries, half of
whom are small and medium-
sized enterprises (SMEs), such
as Elcore.
Insight into new markets
For Elcore, contributing to
Ene.feld is a no-brainer, given
the benefts it believes it will
reap from installing about
135 trial units in households
in Germany and three other
countries yet to be decided.
Ene.feld will give us
exposure to foreign markets
so that we can learn what
customers there like and
do not like, says Martin
Eichelbrnner, Elcores Sales
An ambitious initiative across 12 European nations, involving utilities, manufacturers
and research institutions, aims to test the potential for fuel cell micro-CHP in the EU
residential market, reports Robert Stokes
Mega trial
opens Europe to micro-CHP
1303COSPP_28 28 3/26/13 9:10 AM
and MarketingManager.
It will also introduce us to
different certifcation regimes.
This will be valuable to us,
though one of the ultimate
challenges that needs to be
addressed is standardisation
of these throughout Europe.
This neatly reinforces key
points about Ene.feld. It
will share the knowledge
gained from testing a range
of technologies in highly
varied residential markets,
climates and types of houses
throughout the EU. Take
Germany, for instance. Elcore
already has a few units
operating in homes there
and plans to offer many more
systems from late 2013, quite
separately from its involvement
in Ene.feld.
According to Eichelbrnner,
these commercial units will be
offered at about 9000 each,
inclusive of value added tax.
Subsidies for micro-CHP units
in Germany currently only
cover up to 500 per unit, but
Eichelbrnner says experience
suggests that German
customers would fnd the
9000 price tag acceptable,
especially set against a
claimed payback time of only
seven or eight years, as well as
savings of up to 50 per cent on
their electricity bills.
Its approach is to offer units
that sweat for customers
by working 24/7 to deliver
baseload electricity of 300
We and baseload heating of
600 Wth. This value proposition
has already been validated
in Germany but Ene.feld
means that households in
several other countries will get
to assess this approach for
themselves, said Eichelbrnner.
In the UK, 9000 (7780)
could look a bit steep to
consumers who tend to
grumble about having to
spend even 1500 ($2300) on a
replacement hot water boiler. So
Ene.feld aims to reveal the
nuances of such socio-
economic barriers to the
deployment of fuel cell
micro-CHP.
In Japan for instance,
says Dwyer, one of the main
routes to market for fuel cell
micro-CHP is through housing
developers who build a huge
number of houses each year
and differentiate themselves,
for example, by telling buyers
they can generate their own
power by having a fuel cell
micro-CHP installed,
But a larger proportion
of people in Japan build or
buy new homes rather than
buying second-hand, which
is more prevalent in Europe.
In Germany, a lot of heating
systems tend to be sold by
installers, who are generally
quite loyal to manufacturers,
says Dwyer. In the UK, France
and the Netherlands theres
a low market for boilers as
people just tend to buy them
as a distress purchase and
begrudge the price.
And the end customer is
more interested in their up-front
cost and installation; the space
that they take up; noise; ease
of operation; energy savings;
reliability; ongoing inspection,
repair and maintenance costs;
the service levels provided by
installers and utilities; and, if
they are sophisticated enough
to take a long view, the
payback time.
Innovative business models
will be crucial in Europe, says
Dwyer. No-one knows which
one will be successful, but
we reckon that as soon as
one takes off therell be quite
a few companies trying to
followthat.
Targeting lower demand
Yet Ene.feld is a large and
expensive EU research project:
53 million is a huge sum for
the trials, as is the 26 million
from the EU, particularly when
the private sector is already
conducting extensive fuel
cell micro-CHP feld trials in
Germany and Denmark.
Why invest so much? For one
thing, DG Energy hopes the
substantial public investment
will catalyse the development
of ways to overcome obstacles
to the EUs ambitious goal of
cutting energy consumption
by 20 per cent.
Based on the most recent
fgures available, EU
households consumed 307.3
million tonnes of oil equivalent
(Mtoe) of energy in 2010.
Viewed another way, residential
users consume 27 per cent of
EU energy. Reducing this by a
quarter would cut 6.75 per
cent from EU energy
consumption, more than a
third of the targeted reduction.

Previous studies suggest this
is achievable, according to DG
Energy. It believes that policies
adopted by the end of 2009
will help cut consumption
by about 8 per cent by 2020.
Some of the outstanding
reduction can be reached
through further measures
on fnancing, more stringent
implementation of the Energy
Performance of Buildings
Directive and the new Energy
Effciency Directive, says a
spokesperson for DG Energy.
Across the EU, average
energy consumption per
household was 1.5 toe in
2009 and annual residential
consumption for buildings was
around 200 kWh per square
metre. But, unsurprisingly given
Europes varied climate and
wealth, Member States showed
considerable differences.
The share of micro-CHP in
general in household heating
and cooling currently ranges
from zero to a fraction of a
percentage depending on
country, according to the
Commissions FCH JU. But
DG Energy sees potential
for all types of micro-CHP to
yield collective signifcant
primary energy savings in
the residential and services
sector through replacing less
effcient heating and cooling
options.
The Commissions estimate
of micro-CHP heaters market
shares for space heating,
based on devices with energy
class labelling up to A+ are:
2010, 0.1 per cent; 2020, 1 per
cent; 2030, 4 per cent. There
is no differentiation between
fuel cells and other types of
micro-CHP in these estimates,
but the anticipated trend is
clear and fuel cell micro-CHP is
of particular interest because
of the alignment between its
characteristics and residential
energy use trends.
The electrical effciency of
fuel cell micro-CHP is higher
than for a normal CHP, says
Mirela Atanasiu, project
manager at the FCH JU.
And we are moving towards
everything being electrical, as
it is in my own house. I do not
need a boiler, and a fuel cell
micro-CHP can provide more
electricity and less heat.
The current state of the
art for fuel cell micro-CHP is
30 per cent electrical
effciency, overall effciency of
7085 per cent, a lifetime of
three years, a capital cost per
unit of 50,000 per kWe, and
hand-made manufacturing.
This is according to COGEN
Europe, which co-ordinates
and disseminates Ene.feld on
behalf of the FCH JU.
The expected performance
with Ene.feld will be 35-50
per cent electrical effciency,
up to 90 per cent overall
effciency, lifetimes up to eight
years, capital costs ranging
from 13,000 to 27,000 per
kWe (excluding a 300 W unit
involved) and with potential
to get below 10,000 per kWe.
The aim is to reach pre-serial to
serial productiontoo.
The manufacturers do
not see fuel cell micro-CHP
as the only solution to cutting
residential energy use, but
as complementary to other
solutions, says Atanasiu.
Other features to Ene.feld
make delving beneath the
headline spend instructive,
according to Dr. Fiona
Riddoch, COGEN Europes
managing director. Its a big
project by any standards,
but a lot of the apparent
complexity is in making the
products themselves and
that is something that the
manufacturers are taking care
of, shesays.
Although the [fnancial]
sums seem huge, much of that
is because of the hardware
involved. The advantage of Ene.
feld is that the manufacturers
are taking responsibility for
identifying implementation
sites and carrying out feld
trials for their own units. So it is
a fairly decentralised project
with no central agenda and
with everyone creating their
own timescales within the
overall remit.
Ene.feld gets underway
Manufacturers Hexis AG,
Switzerland, and Baxi Innotech,
Germany, will be frst into feld
trials under Ene.feld, says
Atanasiu. They were just
waiting for the frst payment
from us, and they will deploy
in the frst quarter of 2013. We
expect most of the projects
units to be in the feld within
two years to run for three
years. Hexis has been talking
to municipalities in Slovenia,
which could be the frst
locations involved, she adds.
The Trento province of northern
Italy is another location that
has engaged strongly with
the project, says COGEN
EuropesDr. Riddoch.
On current plans, 233
units will be installed in the
UK, 179 in Germany, 167 in
Italy, 130 in The Netherlands,
90 in Denmark, 70 in France,
30 in Austria, 20 in Spain, 15
in both Luxembourg and
Slovenia, six in Ireland and fve
in Belgium.
HyER [Hydrogen Fuel
Cells and Electro-mobility
in European Regions
Association], which promotes
the use of hydrogen as an
energy source, is an important
partner in Ene.feld in this
regard, says Antanasiu. They
have very good contact with
regions and municipalities and
have helped manufacturers
fnd places to install units and
put them in touch with utilities.
So we now have all the actors

in the project and some of the
commercial interests will reach
the point where they can really
take the step forward to full
commercialisation.
COGEN Europes role is key,
adds Antanasiu. Because
there are a lot of competing
commercial interests involved,
COGEN Europe is really the only
one that can co-ordinate it.
Its job is to work with the EU
institutions funding Ene.feld
and to gather and disseminate
information to interest groups
for use by the industry.
Dr. Riddoch also points
out the strong interest and
commitment being shown by
municipalities that are keen
to be testbeds and which
could eventually help to drag
through a fuel cell micro-CHP
market by choosing these
systems for municipal housing
and other public buildings.
A market is no more than
friends talking to each other
about a product or hearing
about it from some source. In
that sense, regions are ideal
multipliers of awareness and
communication, she says.
To win EU funding, the
Ene.feld partners had to
confrm upfront that they had
identifed installation sites. So
the core sites have already
been identifed and the
process is understood, says
Dr. Riddoch. COGEN Europe
will be representing Ene.feld
at Hannover Messe industrial
fair in April. Come and see
us, she urges. The Ene.feld
plan foresees opportunities
for increasing co-operation
at Member State and
regional level with a range of
participants in the supply chain
to the customer, she adds.
Big in Japan
As Ene.feld springs
into action, it has the
Ene.farm feld trials example
from Japan to inspire it. Japan
was installing 5000 fuel cell
micro-CHP units in 2009 but
is expected to bring 50,000
on line this year, according to
Delta-ees Dwyer.
In Japan, we saw huge
corporations such as
Panasonic sharing information
with the big gas utilities and
co-branding products, which
has worked really well for
them. Ene.feld is the frst time
weve seen something similarly
co-ordinated in Europe and its
a step in the right direction.
With this kind of lead in
know-how, and with volume
production bringing down their
unit costs, could the Japanese
enjoy a headstart in Europe
if a real market develops? Is
Europe just kidding itself that
it can build an indigenous
fuel cell micro-CHP industry of
signifcant value?
Japanese companies
looking at Europe have a
number of hurdles to jump
says Dwyer. The gas qualitys
different in Europe, the energy
markets are different, the way
people buy their heating
systems, mean the Japanese
cant just sell a fuel cell
micro-CHP product in Europe
as they would a television.
So they will ask what part
of the fuel cell unit could
they have a cost advantage
for? They could end up using
the same pumps, pipes
and casings as a European
company. So they have to
make the modifcations
and establish partnerships.
Nobody knows whos going to
have the ultimate advantage.

Project profle: Waste to energy in Australia
A
chieving the
upmost resource
recovery is
part of the way
A.J. Bush & Sons, from
Beaudesert in Australias
southern Queensland, says
it stays competitive. As a
part of a long-standing
meat rendering industry the
company maximises the
value of the by-products
of processing. Optimising
bioenergy is part of its
overall business approach
to sustainability, and an
added impetus to its drive
for effciency is an annual
carbon tax bill each year of
A$2 million (US$2.1 million),
caused mostly by having
coal-fred boilers that heat
process water.
One way of cutting
this liability is through the
production of electric power
from biogas derived from the
meat waste.
It was money from the
federal government in 2005
that set the company on its
journey into biogas production.
Some A$715,000 came from
the Food Innovation Grant
programme, which added
to an earlier, smaller grant
from the Queensland State
Government to allow the
company to evaluate the
feasibility of biogas capture.
A.J. Bush developed a
project at its Beaudesert site
An Australian project that derives gas from meat waste to generate power
shows the scale of its economic benefts and how such schemes can aid
a national electricity network, writes Tracey Colley

Power that sees the meat
renderer take responsibility
for the gas treatment system
and everything downstream,
including a covered anaerobic
lagoon (CAL) and gas capture
pipework, While, Quantum
owns the projects gensets,
and is responsible for their
operation and maintenance.
Quantum also sells all the
electricity generated to
A.J.Bush at a discounted
price as part of a long-term
power purchase agreement.
Historically the meat renderer
imported its total electricity
requirements from the grid.
Today coal-fred boilers
at the plant still generate
steam for the company,
which it uses to process
the fairly constant supply
of non-meat by-products it
receives from poultry, pork
and beef processors in
southern Queensland and
northern New South Wales.
The company renders about
4000 tonnes of heads, feet,
offal and guts, feathers and
blood over a fve day working
week, and the plant operates
24 hours a day, 52 weeks per
year, with three shifts, from
Monday morning until midday
Saturday.
Fat, bone and slaughter
foor materials yield tallow
and meat & bone meal, while
poultry by-products produce
poultry oil and poultry meal.
A.J.Bush hydrolyses poultry
feathers and dries them to
produce hydrolysed feather
meal. Some 65% of the weight
of raw material received is
water and the remainder
yields tallow and protein meal.
Australia retains its status
as a country free of bovine
disease BSE, so feedstocks
from within the country
require no extra sterilisation
or pasteurisation other than
for control of normal bacterial
pathogens, and no limitations
exist on which material can be
used for biogas production.
The plant produces around
65,000 tonnes of rendered
tallow, oil and protein meals
each year.
All of this activity means
the plant consumes about
1000 MWh of electricity per
month and has a peak
demand of about 2.2 MW.
The biogas project started
in April 2005 with a trial version
of a CAL, which held 2 million
litres of wastewater. It had a
1.5 mm thick high-density
polythene cover, which was
operated with a ten-day
residence time. Its success
led to the commissioning of a
CAL with a capacity 26 millon
litres in 2007 that is 6 metres
deep and can hold 28 days
production of wastewater. The
new CALs covers are secured
around the edge of the pond
with concrete trenches and
rise and fall depending on gas
generation and usage rates.
Gas continues to
accumulate over Saturday
afternoon and Sunday, when
the main processing plant is
idle, and it falls gradually over
the week as the gas volume
and pond cover lowers. The
pond cover includes safety
vents, which allow biogas to
escape if the pond cover rises
to a certain height above the
water level. This involves the use
of 0.5-metre risers attached to
the underside of the vents.
The pH control of the infuent
is critical to biogas production
rates, so maintaining the pH at
between 6.6 and 7.6 through
the addition of lime has been
required on occasion.
The wastewater leaves the
CAL by gravity fow (an infow-
outfow balancing system)
and is then further treated in
other on-site ponds before
being recycled for irrigation of
crops and pastures.
A manual pumping system
removes rainwater that
accumulates on the CAL cover
during the wet season, and
the area has an anti-personnel
fence to prevent unauthorised
access.
Power generation
Generation of gas occurs at
a rate of about 220 m
3/
hour.
Fans draw gas from both
ponds through ports attached
to the top of the cover into
into pipework uphill to the
gas treatment skid. The uphill
location of the skid and the
elevation of the pipework from
the pond to the skid allows
condensate to drain back to
the pond. The skid includes a
heat exchanger that lowers
the temperature of the gas to
39C, which removes most
of the condensable materials
from it. A fare unit forms part of
the skid and burns excess gas
whenever a generator is taken
off line for maintenance.
Biogas travels from the skid
to two 0.5 MW Shengdong
engines, the frst of which was
commissioned in July 2010
and the second in March 2011.
Power generation from the
gensets has amounted to
about 200,000 kWh per month,
or about 20% of the total
site electricity consumption,
with an electrical effciency
of about 33%. However,
availability has been much
lower than hoped because of
operational and quality issues
associated with the engines.
As the cost of the engines
was less than a biogas
treatment unit to remove
hydrogen sulphide (H
2
S), the
decision was made not to
include a stage for the removal
of the acid gas, but instead
to sacrifce the engines. The
residual H
2
S level in the gas
after treatment is generally less
than 1200 ppm.
Major modifcations had
to be made to the engines
to ensure they complied
with Australian standards
for electrical and gas safety,
and could run without being
continuously attended to, but
there are still operations that
must be performed manually,
such as inspections, and
checks on the coolant.
Economics
Grid connection and export
is not viable because of
unfavourable conditions for
connection to the grid. The
extra capital works which
would need to be installed
due to the network safety
requirements of network owner
Energex would cost about
A$300,000. Also Australia does
A.J. Bush is recognised as one of the most sustainable rendering facilities in Australia Credit: T. Colley
1303COSPP_33 33 3/26/13 9:30 AM
not have a feed-in tariff (FiT) or
equivalent for cogeneration,
so each individual CHP plant
operator has to negotiate with
the owner of the network into
which they want to export.
This creates a huge power
imbalance between the
plant owner and the network
owner, as generally there
is no competition and no
opportunity for direct export to
another electricity user nearby.
This is the case with A.J. Bush
and is an inequity that has
been identifed by Australian
government reviews of cogen-
eration and the electricity
network, along with the inef-
fciencies which result from it.
However, little has been done
to remedy the situation.
More signifcantly the A.J.
Bush plants location is in a
region that has serious issues
over peak demand constraints.
In fact the network company
owns diesel gensets near the
plant that operate only at times
of peak network demand for
power. So the biogas gensets
would be able to synchronise
with the grid but they do not
yet export electricity to it.
Carbon tax liability
However, the plants use of
biogas could signifcantly
reduce the companys liability
under the countrys carbon
tax, which came into force on
1 July 2012.
A.J. Bush has to make its
CO
2
emissions known under
the National Greenhouse and
Energy Reporting Scheme,
according to which its site
produces 82,197 tonnes of
CO
2
equivalent (tCO
2
e), two
thirds of which is from the
coal-fred steam boilers. At a
carbon price of A$23/tCO
2
e,
this equates to a carbon tax of
A$2 million per year. In effect
the sites annual use of coal
is about 23,140 tonnes, which
equates to 622,775 GJ/year of
boiler fuel.
Assuming that a biogas
boiler would have about the
same effciency, this means
that the current system could
provide about 50% of the boiler
fuel requirement and 1000 kW
of biogas-generated electricity.
This would not be enough of a
greenhouse reduction to bring
the total site emissions below
the 25,000 tCO2-e threshold
for inclusion in the carbon
tax scheme, but it would
signifcantly reduce the liability
associated with the tax.
Next phase
The next phase in the project
involves four developments. The
frst will be to install additional
pond capacity so that the
percentage of organic matter
degraded anaerobically will
rise. Second is the reduction
in the use of boiler fuel by
allowing cogeneration. Here
heat recovered from the
genset units would raise the
temperature of feedwater for
the boiler system to about
85C. Third comes installation
of a dedicated biogas boiler
and fourth is the replacement
of the Shengdong units
with two 500 kW Cummins
biogas engines and a biogas
scrubber system to reduce the
residual H
2
S levels to less than
100 ppm.
The Cummins engines
are 600 kW natural gas units
that are derated to 500 kW
for biogas operation. Their
internals are sulphur-resistant
and their operation is tailored
to a gas with variable calorifc
value, such as biogas.
Their capital cost is about
AUS$1500 per kW installed,
which includes most of the
cogeneration equipment.
On 12 December 2012,
the company won a grant
of A$6.2 million from the
Clean Technology Food
and Foundries Investment
programme for the new
CAL and dedicated biogas
boiler projects, as part of the
national Carbon Tax Scheme.
They will reduce the intensity
of the carbon emissions of the
steam production by 64% and
cut energy costs by 46%.
A feature of rendering plants
is the very high strength of their
effuent. Almost 1 million litres
of wastewater is generated per
day with a biological oxygen
demand (BOD) of 40,000 mg/
litre or a chemical oxygen
demand (COD) of around
100,000 mg/litre. The effuent
has always been treated by
the use of on-site ponds.
Anaerobic digestion
removes 8590% of the organic
load but such ponds can be
problematic because of the
intense odours they produce.
Such odours released at
ground level do not dissipate
well. The A.J. Bush plant is in
a rural area but there is some
residential housing nearby.
A major beneft for the site
was that the CAL reduces
odours from the pond system,
which is consistent with the
plant being one of Australias
most environmental friendly
rendering facilities.
If the site were to increase
the percentage of BOD that
was degraded anaerobically,
there would be additional
biogas available. The BOD
of the infuent is 40,000 mg/
litre whereas for the effuent
the fgure is 4000 mg/litre, a
fall of 90%. A reduction to only
400 mg/litre, which would be a
cut of 99%, would make even
more biogas available.
In terms of an energy
balance, the gensets use
about 12 GJ of biogas per
hour. The wastewater produces
about 1150 GJ per day, or
about four times the amount
of biogas that the biogas
gensets use or twice the sites
total electrical demand. This
would mean approximately
2 MW of green electricity was
available for export if all the
biogas generated were used
for electricity generation.
However, this is unlikely to be
economical given current
By capturing and utilising biogas A.J. Bush could reduce its carbon tex liability Credit: T. Colley
1303COSPP_34 34 3/26/13 9:30 AM
regulatory and economic
conditions. The far preferable
option for the site is to use the
surplus biogas in its boilers,
displacing coal and its carbon
liability.
Realising the potential
In 2011, there were 81
rendering plants in Australia.
These processed 2.5 million
tonnes of raw material to
produce 1.1 million tonnes
of rendered product. The
Beaudesert plant renders
0.2 million tonnes per year
of raw material based on a
52-week operating year. This
has the potential to create
2 MW of power for export.
If replicated across the
industry in Australia, this would
equate to 25 MW of export
capacity, reducing the load on
the national electricity supply
system and providing power
from sources distributed across
the grid rather than being at
one central location. Given
that most plants operate 24
hours a day on weekdays,
which coincides with the elec-
tricity supply system summer
afternoon peaks, they could
assist with reducing the system
peak load.
However, developments at
other plants have taken the
simpler approach of using
CAL biogas in their boilers. The
lack of support for embedded
generation and cogeneration
means that this is the simpler
and more cost effective option
for most sites. As such, this
represents a lost opportunity for
replacing electricity generated
from coal fred power stations
with renewable electricity.
Given the inherent
ineffciencies with coal-fred
generation, transmission
and distribution, with overall
delivered effciency of
about 30% in many cases,
this effectively means that
this sustainable bioenergy
resource is not being used in
a way that would maximise
greenhouse gas reductions
in Australia. By comparison
modern biogas gensets have
an electrical effciency of
over 40% and a total energy
effciency of over 80%, meaning
that biogas embedded
generation can contribute
to cutting emissions. Unless
government policy recognises
this and supports biogas
generation and cogeneration,
this ineffciency is liked to be
locked in for the effective life of
the biogas boilers, which is of
the order of 20 years.
Perhaps the Australian
government needs to take
a leaf out of A.J. Bushs book.
As the companys Beaudesert
plant manager David Kassulke
says, To be effcient we must
utilise every part of the animal,
excluding only the moo, the
cluck and the oink.

Project profle: Chatsworth targets CHP
W
ork has already
begun on the
new system
at Chatsworth
House - which is being
designed and constructed
by UK-based low-carbon
energy specialist, LowC
Communities Ltd. Utilising
only the low-value timber
felled as part of the estates
normal annual harvesting
operations, the new system,
which is known as Arbor
ElectroGen, will convert the
wood fuel into electricity via
an advanced gasifcation
process. This produces a
clean, combustible gas
that is used to power a
(CHP) system containing
an engine similar to that
found in large commercial
vehicles - which in turn
drives a generator to
produce around 97%
of Chatsworths annual
electrical requirements.
Known as Arbor ElectroGen,
this advanced gasifcation,
biomass-fuelled CHP system
delivers, low-carbon heat
and power for a variety of
applications. Fuelled by
woody biomass, it can be
used by customers that have
an on-site biomass resource
- such as woodland, or easy
access to a local feedstock.
The feedstock creation
follows a few simple steps by
taking newly cut, small round
wood or similar, chipping to the
required specifcation, (much
larger than traditional heat-
only biomass boilers) drying in
the warm extract air from the
Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, UK has commissioned the construction of a
revolutionary new renewable energy generation system that is set to reduce its
carbon emissions by 90%, writes Dr. Andrew Horsley.

Project profle: Chatsworth targets CHP
plant space and that used in
the gas cooling process. There
is no requirement for long-term
storage or chip screening.
The Arbor ElectroGen system
produces an almost equal
amount of heat and electricity
(in the ratio of 1.5:1), the system
offers one of, if not the most
cost-effective ways to meet the
ever-more stringent demands
of both the Code for
Sustainable Homes and
BREEAM. This heat-to-power
ratio should be compared to a
biomass steam boiler and
turbine with a heat to power
ratio of 5:1, a Stirling engine of
3:1 and a high-speed turbine
of 3:1 therefore making it better
suited to matching the power
and thermal demands of a
building, facility or community
network without dumping heat.
Whilst the bulk of the delivery
of the UKs built environment
continues to focus on
producing renewable heat to
meet the demands of planning
requirements, the Arbor
ElectroGen targets renewable
electricity a commodity that,
if supplied from the national
grid, emits around three times
more carbon than the natural
gas required to produce it
and additionally produces
renewable heat
Nearly all of the heat
created by the engines
cooling system and exhaust
will be recovered and used
in a new district heating
network to supply Chatsworth
House, as well as its restaurant
and garden glasshouses
providing around 72% of the
annual requirements for space
heating and hot water.
Nicholas Wood, land agent
at Chatsworth commented:
This project perfectly illustrates
our on-going commitment to
sustainability at Chatsworth.
There is normally a proportion
of timber from our harvesting
operations that is of poor
quality and limited use this
will now be utilised on site as
biomass. All felled areas are
replanted, thus ensuring that
our woodlands continue to
be sustainable. Annually, the
new renewable energy centre
will save around 1350 tonnes
of carbon being emitted
in comparison to grid-
supplied energy produced by
fossil fuels.
We considered many
forms of renewable energy
for the house but the
outstanding environmental
and commercial credentials
of the chosen technology far
outweighed the alternatives.
Indeed, it has been
calculated that, to achieve the
same level of carbon savings
with solar photovoltaic panels,
the estate would have needed
to install around 24,000 square
metres of panels which
would cover the same area
as around 3.5 football pitches
something unthinkable in
such an area famed for its
outstanding beauty.
According to Richard
Griffn, chief executive of LowC
Communities: We are truly
delighted that Chatsworth will
be taking a leading position
in the fght against global
warming and I would hope
that it demonstrates that if
a stately home can achieve
carbon-neutral status, then this
level of reduction is well within
the reach of all other types of
buildings regardless of their
size or age.
Although gasifcation
technology can trace its roots
back to the 1800s when it was
frst used to produce town
gas from coal, the major
technological leap for us has
been to refne the process
suffciently in order to produce
gas that is clean enough to
reliably power the engine.
Many companies have tried
to produce electrical power
from biomass fuels, but theyve
either failed or only managed
to achieve low levels of
effciency and reliability.
Due to the effciency of our
process coupled with use of a
renewable fuel thats absorbed
carbon dioxide during its
lifetime - the technology offers
very low-carbon energy.
This technology could make
a signifcant contribution
towards the UK governments
targets for the year 2020 - cut
ting carbon emissions by
34% and having the country
deriving 15% of its total energy
from renewable sources.
This decentralised approach
to power generation also
ensures that energy is
consumed locally avoiding
the ineffciencies and losses
associated with transporting
electricity long distances.
It also helps to overcome
the increasing problem
of balancing the grid by
producing energy when and
where it is required. Due to
the high temperature of the
gasifcation process, there is
none of the air quality issues
that are inherent in many other
generation technologies and
no visible smoke plume.
Education will also play an
important role in Chatsworths
on-going commitment to
sustainability as its new
Renewable Energy Centre
and its purpose-built building
will become part of the
visitor experience. Members
of the public will be actively
encouraged to see at frst-
hand how the estate is
generating its own renewable
energy and learn more about
the concept and how it fts in
with the drive to reduce the
estates environmental impact.
Innovation in energy
goes back a long way at
Chatsworth. In 1893, the
Eigth Duke of Devonshire
commissioned water-powered
electricity generating turbines
to harness the gravity-fed
water system that was in place
to feed the famous fountains.
This hydropower system is still
producing electricity today.
The Renewable Energy
Centre at Chatsworth is the
frst in a series of advanced
gasifcation projects that LowC
Communities is developing in
the UK. Previously, the company
has pioneered an award-
winning, low-carbon energy
technology based on CHP -
fuelled by UK-grown bioliquids
such as rapeseed oil.
The idea of using CHP
application in Britains stately
homes is also a subject that is
near to the hear of the Prince
of Wales, who recently called
for a major environmentally-
friendly refurbishment of
Britains historic buildings to
avert the climate crisis.
In a new guide aimed at the
owners of run-down estates, he
said it was a tragedy to see
such buildings abandoned,
derelict or destroyed. Not only
because of the loss of heritage
but because of the terrible
waste of resources as the
country struggles to become
more energy effcient. Prince
Charles already uses ground
source heat pumps and other
forms of renewable energy on
his wider estate.
He says historic buildings
should be leading the way
in the fght against climate
change by insulating roofs,
harvesting rainwater and
even generating their own
energy. The guide also
recommends wind turbines
where appropriate despite
the Princes well known hatred
of modern attachments on
older buildings.

Waste to fuel conversion
A
plant developed
by Recycling
T e c h n o l o g i e s
treats mixed
plastic waste (MPW) and
provides all the usual
advantages of CHP. It is
also small enough to be
located in or alongside
existing facilities, avoiding
the need for specialist
buildings. Furthermore, it
can sit at a site where the
waste is already located,
overcoming the need for
transport, and adjacent to

processes that require heat,
ensuring high effciencies. Its
low-capital cost also brings
benefts concerning return
on investment (ROI).
Considerable demand
exists for affordable technology
that can use environmentally-
sound methods to extract
value from waste that would
otherwise be sent to landfll.
In the UK, for example,
what drives this need are the
fast-rising costs of landfll and
the ever-increasing political
pressure to reduce the amount
of waste sent there. In the
case of MPW the technology
already exists to liberate its
energy through combustion.
Energy from Waste (EfW)
plants work well, particularly
if preceded by a sorting
plant that can remove most
of the chlorine-producing
PVC. They are better than the
landfll solution but also have
downsides. They tend to be
large facilities that require
material to be transported
to them, which causes the
old problem of creating a
signifcant quantity of waste
heat in a central location,
heat which is diffcult to use
A system is available that generates combustible gas from material that might
otherwise go into landfll. Among other advantages, it can feed a CHP plant,
says Arthur op den Brouw.

effciently. The plants are also
expensive to build, which
means payback periods are
long, and there are losses in
distributing the power back
from a central location to the
point of use. Consequently
the number of such facilities in
comparison with the quantity
of MPW created is wholly
inadequate to deal with the
volume of waste, at least in the
European Union (EU).
Changing perceptions
But plastic recycling has
come on a long way. Most
consumers are in the habit of
separating some plastics out
of general waste for recycling.
Yet the fact remains that the
majority of plastic used every
year, in Europe at least, ends
up as landfll. Drinks bottles
and milk bottles are made of
PET and HDPE, respectively,
which are widely recycled.
Near-infrared scanners can
detect these materials and
remove them from a conveyor
containing MPW. Once
separated they are washed
and faked mechanically,
ready for re-use.
This mechanical process
does itself consume a
signifcant amount of fossil fuel
but is nonetheless a common
process and the recycled
material is widely used and
traded. However, the material
left on the conveyor is usually
bailed and either used in
refuse derived fuel (RDF) or
disposed of.
The EU creates 47 million
tonnes (Mt) per year of plastic
each year, but only 6.3 Mt
is recycled and 8.6 Mt used
in EfW plants, according to
Plastic Europe.
EfW plants that consume
RDF across the EU do not have
anywhere near the capacity
that would be needed to
process all the MPW, and they
are not uniformly distributed
either. The UK and many other
countries have fallen behind
the likes of Germany and The
Netherlands, which have spent
considerable amounts on
such facilities.
In Britain companies and
local authorities can end up
paying around 45/tonne
(US$69/tonne) to companies
that will accept the RDF. To
sort, dry and bale the material
to RDF standards can cost as
much as 20/tonne, so the
total cost of disposing this
material via the EfW route is
65/tonne.
This shipping of energy
across borders may make
sense in the short term when
compared with the cost of
landflling in a country without
suffcient EfW capacity. But in
the long term the economic
impact of such energy fows
and the environmental impact
of shipping make the practice
unsustainable.
To change this behaviour
a commercially attractive
technology is required that
challenges the categorisation
of such material as waste.
Instead of viewing, it needs
to be seen as a valuable
resource.
British company Warwick
Ventures at the UKs University of
Warwick has commercialised
such a technology. In 2010,
a team at Warwick University,
under the direction of Professor
Jonathan Seville, was looking
at ways of de-polymerising
plastic via pyrolysis.
Recycling Technologies was
subsequently establised.
An increasing number
of engineers and specialist
suppliers have been
developing the solution for,
which aims to provide an
environmentally sound and
economically attractive
system for turning this material
into resource at source.
MPWs true value
Known as WarwickFBR, a
typical installation will use
1 tonne/hour of MPW to
run a 3 MWe generator. The
gap between the material
created and that currently
recycled or used in an EfW
plant is around 32 Mt per year,
according to Plastics Europe. If
we hypothetically consider all
this MPW being used in a feet
of Recycling Technologies
systems, they could generate
up to 98 TWh per year.
To put this in context, the
UKs power demand in 2010
was 310 TWh, according to
DUKES 2012, so the plastic
wasted across the EU last year
could have supplied 32% of
the UK electricity need. Of
course, no one approach will
be used universally to handle
all the material in any waste
stream, but this comparison
does demonstrate how much
energy is contained in the
plastic manufactured and
used each year in the EU alone.
Companies that have
access to MPW could start
viewing it as a valuable
resource. Recognising the
energy content of what is
currently labelled waste is only
one part of the picture; there
have to be ways of turning it
into something that is wanted
at a cost that is attractive.
It is worth contemplating
why countries without the
capacity to use this fuel do not
follow the lead of Germany
and The Netherlands and
build appropriate mass
burning facilities. In our view
the answer is a combination of
cost and the use of the waste
heat. Such facilities are very
expensive and usually require
government assistance to
fnance their construction.
They have often been built to
achieve landfll diversion
targets rather than because of
the ROI they achieve.
Achieving this level of
government commitment to
landfll diversion is diffcult,
particularly in the current
economic climate. Even more
diffcult to emulate is the use
of the waste heat in district
heating schemes. Getting
planning permission to build
a power station at the heart
of thousands of houses and
pipe the heat out to them
is far from straightforward.
In some countries there is a
history of constructing houses
with district heating systems,
but elsewhere, unless such
infrastructure already exists,
retroftting is almost impossible
to justify fnancially.
The WarwickFBR is a
cost effective alternative to
centralised mass burning
facilities without compromising
on the effciencies achieved
via district heating schemes.
A typical installation costs
34 million and can provide
an ROI in less than two years.
This is based on the fnancial
benefts of avoiding landfll
costs, the value of electricity
generated and the value
of the heat that can be
usefully captured. This level of
investment falls well within the
reach of many organizations
and avoids the need for
governments to fnance the
mass burning alternatives.
WarwickFBR plants are
not only more cost effective
per megawatt of installed
capacity but, given the ability
to position them alongside
existing industrial or recycling
processes that require the
heat, the effciency of the
conversion from chemical to
usable energy is as good as
a mass-burning facility replete
with district heating facilities.
The result therefore is that MPW
need no longer be regarded
as waste but as a valuable
resource.
Waste to fuel
WarwickFBR is designed to
be positioned at the end of
a plastics sorting line that
1303COSPP_40 40 3/26/13 9:30 AM
already removes material
such as PET and HDPE. It
accepts the plastic that is
not going to be economically
recycled, using it instead to
provide the electricity and
heat needed to recycle the
plastics that will be. This avoids
the use of virgin fossil fuel in
the recycling process, as well
as the transport of plastic
waste to landfll or as RDF to
mass-burning facilities.
MPW is shredded, the tramp
metal removed and the waste
is then dried and stored in a
bunker. This prepared material
is then fed constantly into a
pyrolysis reactor where, in the
absence of oxygen, the long
hydrocarbon chains that form
the polymers are chemically
cracked into compounds of
shorter chain lengths, which
exit the chamber as a hot gas.
The issue with using waste
material as a fuel is, of course,
that its constituents can vary
dramatically, so the quality of
the fuel produced also tends
to be variable. To combat this
problem the system uses a
reactor management module
to continually adjust the
conditions in the reactor to
even out such variations. By
constantly monitoring the gas
being produced the operating
parameters can be adjusted
to enhance the fuel properties.
Since the machine is
designed to accept general
plastic waste, chlorine will be
present, having come from
PVC, as will fuorine from PTFE
and many other compounds
in varying quantities that have
to be dealt with appropriately.
The bank of fltration and
catalytic devices following
the pyrolysis chamber ensures
that this hot gas is fully fltered
so that the resulting fuel can
be combusted reliably and
without harmful emissions.
This hot, fltered gas is then
condensed into a tank
ready to be pumped into a
combustion device that best
suits the host facility.
The combustion device
could be a steam plant if a lot
of steam is used in the facility, a
combination of a steam plant
and steam turbine to produce
electricity, a medium-speed
diesel engine or a gas turbine
generator. Clearly the latter
needs great capital cost when
compared with a diesel engine
but, as is true for most CHP
plants, the greatly increased
service intervals can justify
this if the generator is required
to run constantly. In most
installations it is envisaged that
a diesel generator will be the
optimal combustion device.
The relative merits of different
power generation approaches
raises an important facet of the
systems design. To maximise
effciency the pyrolysis process
is designed to run 24/7, but
since the fuel generated can
be stored in an appropriate
tank, its use in power
generation can effectively be
decoupled from the pyrolysis
process and the production of
the fuel. So the hours that the
generator runs can be varied
to maximise the value of the
electricity and the quantity of
heat recovered.
In other words, if this CHP
system is installed in a factory
that only runs during the
day, either a large engine or
multiple engines could be run
during the day to consume
the fuel when the electricity
and heat is actually needed
rather than simply to keep up
with the pyrolysis process. For
example a 6 MWe generator
could be run for 12 hours per
day rather than having a 3
MWe unit running constantly.
On-demand power
This ability to generate power
on demand gives rise to the
exciting prospect of using
power generated from waste
to balance other renewables.
Wind turbines produce
electricity when the wind
blows. Solar systems do so
when the sun shines. Neither
always does when the power
is really needed. The ability
to turn waste into a fuel that
can be used to supply power
on demand will enable some
smoothing of this variability.
An interesting point about
the fuel production is its
effective independence
from the use of the fuel to
generate power. This means
the two processes can be
physically remote from each
other. The energy density of
MPW is signifcantly increased
by turning what is often fuffy
material into a semi-solid fuel
that can be transported more
economically to a site where
the heat from the engine can
be used most effciently.
A standard 1 tonne/hour
installation will consume
around 7000 tonnes in
moisture-free weight of MPW
per year. The energy content of
different waste streams will vary
depending on the plastics
it contains, but frequently it
exceeds 33,000 kJ/kg. The
rate of energy conversion
chemical to electrical of the
WarwickFBR is around 34%,
so a CHP plant of this size
will produce around 21 GWh
of electricity per year and a
similar quantity of heat from
the diesel engine.
The heat produced exists
in two forms: hot air recovered
from the exhaust and water at
around 90oC from the cooling
circuit. Clearly the quantity
of heat that can be used will
depend on the host facility
but, in facilities where plastics
are mechanically recycled,
considerable volumes of hot
water are needed for washing
the material. This type of
demand is an ideal way to
use the heat produced by the
engine, ensuring high overall
effciency.
The plant is not too large
either. Space required by the
shredders, separators and
silos will vary from site to site
depending on the nature and
condition of the feedstock, but
the pyrolysis plant itself has the
footprint of a 12-metre shipping
container, as does the typical
engine and generator set. The
fuel tanks are built into 6-metre
shipping containers.
Looking to the future
Recycling Technologies
aim is to continue R&D into
pyrolysis as a mechanism
for turning waste into fuels
in a commercially attractive
way, so the company has
established relationships
with Birmingham Universitys
Dr. Gary Leeke, an expert in
fuidised bed reactors, and
Dr. Athanasios Tsolakis, a
specialist in combustion and
internal combustion engines.
A well-known company
has also entered into an
agreement to purchase the
frst system, and investors have
also recognised the potential
of the approach. Initial
funding has been raised from
the Wroxall Investor Group, a
syndicate of high net worth
investors. This cash injection
allowed the company to start
recruiting the team that is
needed to turn the system into
reality by 2014.
In 2012, investor Peter Jones
OBE joined the board as an
advisor, providing a signifcant
insight into how Recycling
Technologies could contribute
to the political and economic
drive to turn the waste industry
into an resources industry.

Waste heat recovery
I
t seems odd that one
part of an industrial
process would create
heat as a by-product
and then vent it into the
atmosphere, while another
part of the same process
burns fossil fuel to raise
the temperature of water.
In reality this is what the
food processing industry
commonly does.
A typical food processing
plant refrigerates large
quantities of its products to
keep them fresh, in that way
generating heat, and burns,
say, gas in boilers to create
large amounts of hot water for
cleaning and sanitation.
But an ammonia-based,
high-temperature heat
pump system that employs
a single-screw high-pressure
compressor is helping several
food processing applications
around the world to cut the
waste of this energy, while
reducing the consumption
of carbon-based fuel. Each
of these three projects
required the system to provide
the highest coeffcient of
performance (COP) possible,
a technology solution with
low annual operating and
maintenance costs, and the
use of a non-ozone depleting
refrigerant with zero global
warming impact.
According to Emerson,
which with its project partner
Star Refrigeration, provided
the solution, the systems use
of ammonia refridgerant gives
A novel heat pump system based on a single-screw compressor is cutting
water heating costs in the food processing industry and helping users meet
their sustainability goals.
Turning up
the heat in the food industry

Waste heat recovery
each application a better
performance compared with
competing technologies
when it comes to consumed
resources. Emerson says this is
possible because of the higher
temperatures used.
The system also met each
projects environmental
requirements and kept
operating and maintenance
costs low. Its compressor from
Vilter, which became part of
Emerson in 2009, raises the
temperature of water for boilers
by super-heating exhaust heat
from a refridgeration system.
Savings in each case
arise because the balanced
radial and axial force of the
compressor means stress on
the units bearings is reduced,
and minimising maintainance
and operation costs. The
compressor also delivered a
performance unachievable
with any other type of
compressor, according to Vilter.
Nestls plant in Halifax, UK, is
one of these applications. Here
the food processing company
relies on large refrigeration
systems for chocolate
manufacturing, storage and
distribution. Refrigeration is
essential to cool chocolate
while heat is needed to
separate it from the shaping
moulds.
Nestl had been using
one central coal-fred steam
generation plant for its
requirements but wanted to
capture the waste heat to
replace the need for additional
gas-fred equipment. It also
wanted the new system to help
cut overall energy demand.
One of the few refrigerants
that could meet all of the
effciency and environmental
requirements was ammonia,
an effcient refrigerant
(designated as R-717),
commonly used by the
food and beverage industry
for process cooling and
refrigeration.
However, it has not been
commonly used in industrial
heat pump applications, where
high temperatures are required.
And, according to Sam Gladis,
Vilters Business Director, the
International Energy Agencys
Heat Pump Centre recently
deemed such an application
impossible and said there
were no suitable high-pressure
compressors available to make
using ammonia a reality in
high-temperature industrial
heat pumps. Emerson begged
to differ.
In the Nestl project the
ammonia heat pump has
a dual purpose. The system
delivers chilled glycol at 0C
and hot water at 60C using
waste heat. Heat can be taken
from the 0C process glycol
and lifted to 60C in one stage.
Nestls site has, since the
commissioning of the system
in May 2010, been raising the
temperature of 64,000 litres of
water each day to 60C. And
this hot water is delivered far
more effciently than from the
companys previous coal-fred
steam generator, says Emerson.
Nestls system won the
Industrial and Commercial
Project of the Year title at the
2010 RAC awards in Britain as
it cut process utility costs at
the site by more than $394,000
per year. By reducing gas
combustion it has also cut
CO
2
emissions by more than
500 tonnes per year, and water
consumption has fallen by
around 40%.
Another application
of Emersons heat pump
technology is at the Kraft Foods
plant in Davenport, Iowa, US.
Like many food processing
plants, the company had been
paying for electrical energy
to remove heat from spaces
refrigerated by an ammonia-
based system and venting that
heat to the atmosphere. It was
also paying for natural gas to
heat the hot water it used to
clean the plant hygienically.
Kraft Foods determined that
if the rejected heat could be
captured and used to provide
water heating, substantial
energy would be saved.
The plant installed high-
effciency boilers and invested
in capturing and recovering
boiler stack heat, says Gladis.
The highest pressures
and temperatures in the
refrigeration system were in the
compressor discharge gas.
These provided the best source
for heat to be transferred to the
sanitation clean-up water. The
problem was that ammonia at
typical condensing pressures
condenses at temperatures as
low as 24C to 35C, although
the liquid does at the same
time have a high heat energy.
Conventional heat
exchangers would have
allowed the transfer of this
energy to city water to raise it to
the 63-85C range requirement
of wash-down water, but such
a system would only provide
limited pre-heating of the cold
water supply.
If the refrigeration system
compressor discharge gas,
which was at the high pressure
of 1340 kPa, could be fed
directly into the suction of
a heat pump compressor
and be raised in pressure to
3200 kPa to 5600 kPa, then
condensing this higher-
pressure ammonia with cold
water in a heat exchanger
would capture signifcantly
larger quantities of heat
energy than heat reclaim, and
elevate the cold water supply

with ammonia. Using such an
ammonia heat pump system
would require a secondary
loop, thereby lowering the
effciency of heat transfer.
Given the need for
sustainable projects to clear
the same internal rate of return
hurdle as non-sustainable
projects, Emerson says it
challenge was to defne and
justify the project. Project costs
would include tapping into
the ammonia refrigeration
system, adding and installing
a custom ammonia heat
pump system, and employing
electricity to operate the
high-pressure ammonia heat
pump system.
Krafts system now delivers
hot water at 63C using heat
extracted from refrigeration.
The inherent high-pressure
capability of the single screw
compressor allows for full
acceptance of the highest
operating discharge pressure
from the host system, even
greater than 12,400 kPa
guage, without the risk of
rotor defection and excessive
bearing thrust loads, which
can result in accelerated
degradation or the loss
of effciency because of
over-compression.
In winter, the incoming cold
water temperature is at 15.6C,
meaning that the estimated
heating capacity of the heat
pump for this season would
have to be an estimated
1682 kW, providing 30.7 m
3
/
hour of continuous water fow
at 62.8C. The heat pump
was estimated to provide an
average year-round heating
capacity of 2056 kW, heating
38.6 m
3
/hour of water from
16.9C to 62.8C.
Since commissioning, the
plant has been heating in the
region of 773 litres of water per
minute, which is delivered far
more effciently than from the
natural gas hot water heater,
says Emerson.
Over the courseof a year
the ammonia heat pump
solution cuts heat energy costs
by over $250,000 and saves
53 million litres of water
because of the reduced
load on the evaporative
condensers.
A Chilean project has also
employed the Emersons
heat pump system, but this
time in the poultry processing
business, where energy costs
are high.
Chilean poultry processor
Agrosuper had relied
on boilers to heat up to
1300 litres of well water per
minute for its sanitation
needs. At the same time, it
was removing heat from the
poultry being processed
and discharging it to the
environment.
Agrosuper realised that if it
could capture the waste heat
from processing, it might be
able to use it to heat the water.
With the new system, heat
taken from the companys
-10C refrigeration load is lifted
to 52C in one stage. Since
commissioning in January
2012 the facility has been
heating 1300 litres of water
per minute, which the solution
provider Emerson says is
delivered far more effciently
compared with the previous
boiler. The ammonia heat
pump solution has reduced
heat energy costs by 72% and
saves 57 million litres of water
per year.
Apart from food processing
applications, the same heat
pump technology is also
heating Drammen, a town
in Norway that has turned
to the frigid North Sea as a
renewable energy source.
This community of 60,000
people on the Drammen Fjord
near the capital city of Oslo,
needed hot water at 90C for
a new district heating system
for homes and businesses.
Again, the requirements were
the highest possible COP, low
operating and maintenance
costs, and no ozone or global
warming impact.
Installing heat pumps to
extract heat from water or
air is increasingly popular in
Europe, says Gladis, largely
because the heat they deliver
far exceeds the energy they
consume, greatly reducing the
reliance on fossil fuels and the
need for additional renewable
energy sources.
Emerson, once again
working with Star Refrigeration
and project partners in Norway
Norsk Kulde and Drammen
Fjernevarme provided the
Vilter heat pump that uses
ammonia and that, it says,
has resulted in a performance
improvement estimated to be
more than 15% higher than
one using R-134A, a refrigerant
with a high global warming
potential.
Again, the use of high
temperatures allowed superior
performance from consumed
resources than competing
technologies, says Emerson.
The company has also
applied the system in a
US-based residential solution
in which the compressor helps
condition air temperature
instead of heating water.

The World Alliance for Decentralized Energy (WADE) was established in 1997 as a non-proft
research and promotion organization whose mission is to accelerate the worldwide development
of high effciency cogeneration (CHP) and decentralized renewable energy systems that deliver
substantial economic and environmental benefts.

WADE PARTICIPATES IN INTERNATIONAL ENERGY
AGENCY CHP/DHC COLLABORATIVE & CLEAN ENERGY JOINT WORKSHOP
Paris, France: The IEA
Collaborative and the Clean
Energy Ministerial CHP/DHC
Working Group convened
on 12-13 February to discuss
the next programme of work
(Phase III 2013-2014). The
meeting was structured to
allow a roundtable discussion,
with active participation from
all participating Partners and
Collaborators, on obstacles
for the greater deployment of
CHP/DHC technologies and
solutions to overcome these
barriers. The outcome of the
meeting was an agreed work
plan for the next two years,
along with assignment of
roles and responsibilities for
implementation.
The IEA International CHP/
DHC Collaborative was initi-
ated in 2007 with the goal
of advancing international
data quality, analysis, and
awareness about the impor-
tance of CHP and DHC as a
sustainable energy strategy.
The Collaborative has
produced three global studies:
CHP: evaluating the benefts
of greater global invest-
ment (2008); Cogeneration
and district energy: sustain-
able energy technologies
for today and tomorrow
(2009); and Co-generation
and Renewables: solutions
for a low-carbon energy
future (2011). These studies
provided a vision of CHP and
district energy potential, along
with an overview of policy
best practices and recom-
mending options to consider
when implementing these
policies. They also highlighted
the benefts of an integrated
energy system approach
with co-generation tech-
nology assisting in balancing
electricity production from
variable renewables. The
next phase of the CHP/DHC
Collaborative will build from
and advance the fndings of
these studies. In particular, a
key global need is to improve
data quality on high-effciency
CHP and on usable industrial
waste heat resource; improved
data in these areas will
address an important gap.
Planned activities include:
Analysis of available CHP
data aiming to improve
quality and geographic
coverage of global related
data.
Development of new
analysis on options for an
expanding long-term role
for CHP in future low / zero
carbon energy visions - to
2020 and beyond; this
analysis will make a candid
assessment (looking at both
strong points and shortcom-
ings) of these options such
as development of large-
scale CHP systems, renew-
ables integration and inte-
grated approaches for local
heat planning.
Continued operation of
a forum for credible infor-
mation and analysis that
can be a resource for
Collaborative Partners and
national / international
policymakers.

Paris, France: David Sweet, Executive Director, WADE partici-
pated in IEAs workshop on developing an Energy Storage
Technology Roadmap held February 13-14 following a one
and one-half day workshop on CHP and DHC related policy
and technologies.
The workshop included a session on cross-cutting energy
storage including CHP and assisted in refning the roadmap
scope and provided inputs for analyses and modelling.
Leading experts on energy storage presented on current
status and future expectations. Over 60 participants from
academia, associations, government and industry engaged
in discussions on the new roadmap. The workshop provided
an opportunity for all participants to interact with other stake-
holders and input into the roadmap itself, leading to broad
stakeholder consensus in the messages developed

CANADIAN FINANCING FORUM REVEALS IMPORTANT TRENDS IN
CLEANTECH SECTOR
WADE AT NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REGULATORY UTILITY
COMMISSIONERS ANNUAL WINTER MEETING.
3RD ANNUAL GLOBAL LNG FORUM 2013
February 21 - 22, 2013
By Kevin Frankowski, VP, WADE
Canada
Ever year, CapitalRoad,
supported by important
industry sponsors, puts on the
Canadian Financing Forum. In
their words, the CFF provides
the setting for entrepreneurs to
build relationships with leading
venture capitalists and corpo-
rate investors. These links pave
the way for company fnanc-
ings that enhance economic
growth through new business
creation and development.
The CFF focuses on the IT
(Information Technology)
and CleanTech sectors
and has some of Canadas
most promising companies
competing for the attention of
top tier investors from across
Canada and the United States.
In addition to the company
presentations and networking,
a variety of panel discussions
take place, where investors
exchange perspectives on
emerging trends and critical
learnings. On behalf of its
members, WADE Canada
attends events like these to
make sure that you have
access to this important
information.
This year, several key messages
were clear:
1. CleanTech is NOT dead;
2. Competition is getting better
- you need to up your game;
and
3. Deals are getting bigger.
Many of you may have
heard conficting reports that
CleanTech is dead...but
wait...it is surging, and set for
signifcant growth. ...Okay
-- which it? Even amongst the
various panels of experts there
seemed, at frst glance, to be
some serious mixed messages.
Several of the large corpo-
rate investment funds were
indicating a strong interest
in CleanTech opportunities,
but the venture capitalists
seemed less keen. I took the
opportunity to talk one-on-one
with one of the panelists, an
experienced venture capitalist
from Silicon Valley. The root of
the mixed messages quickly
became clear. Turns out
that the CleanTech is dead
message is meant for fellow
venture capitalists,who are
seeking early-stage investment
areas that are ripe for very fast,
early-sage growth. He seemed
very discouraged that most
of the CleanTech has now
matured beyond this point,
and grumbled a bit about how
it has now become a sector
for the larger, later-stage invest-
ment funds that focus on more
mature technologies that have
steadier growth...
Lisbon, Portugal: The 3rd
Annual Global LNG Forum was
held February 18 20 where
David Sweet, Executive Director,
WADE chaired the session
Global LNG Market Outlook
- Turning from an importer to
an exporter: case study on
prospective role of the USA in
changing global LNG picture.
Speaking at the session Mr.
Sweet addressed various
policy and regulatory issues in
the industry with focus on:
The changing legal and
regulatory treatment of
LNG facilities at DOE and
FERC that will determine
what export facilities are
approved
The impact of the election
on US energy policy and
LNG projects
The outlook for shale gas
production as a supply
source for LNG exports and
the challenges that remain
The 3rd Annual Global LNG
Forum confrmed its posi-
tion as fagship event in the
industry with delegates from
around the world participating
and networking with leading
industry experts.
Key topics that were addressed
at the Forum included:
LNG upstream projects glob-
ally (from Europe to Australia)
LNG infrastructure and
foating LNG
developments in LNG
pricing and trading
WASHINGTON, DC, USA:
WADE attended the recently
held National Association
of Regulatory Utility
Commissioners (NARUC)
annual Winter Meeting
which featured a number of
sessions on power, gas, CHP
among other topics. In addi-
tion, various resolutions were
approved, including:
Resolution Supporting the
Inclusion of Waste Heat to
Power Technologies in State
and Federal Clean Energy
Policies and Programs
The Resolution points out that
opportunities are often over-
looked in many clean energy
policies, including federal
investment tax credit, many
State renewable portfolio
standards and various utility
rebate programs. It goes on
to commit NARUC to ensure
waste heat to power tech-
nology is included in relevant
discussions and policies.
The resolutions are now
considered NARUC policy and
will guide the organizations
advocacy before Congress, the
Administration, and the federal
courts. The entire text of the
resolutions is available online at:

A
the new Executive Director of
the CHP Association, I would
like to introduce the latest
edition of the Guide to US CHP
Companies, published by PennWell.
I am confdent you will fnd the guide
to be a valuable resource. It provides
important insight for those who seek to do
business in the CHP arena, and also offers
one-stop shopping for those considering
CHP installation.
Inside you will fnd a list of experts,
organizations and companies that are doing
the good work of increasing CHP use. Many
listed here are CHP Association members;
they lead the way in strengthening the US
economy with this tried-and-true approach.
This years guide comes at an important
time. We see an increased awakening on
both the state and federal level to the
advantages of making CHP integral to
energy policy.
Recent severe weather, such as Hurricane
Sandy, underscores the business advantage
of on-site power and heat. Buildings with
CHP were able to keep the lights on in the
Northeast, while others went dark following
the October 2012 super storm.
Sandy provoked new debate on how
to create a more reliable energy system
in an era of volatile weather. This opened
another door for CHP Association to
educate policymakers about CHPs benefts
to highlight that CHP not only lowers
energy costs, but ensures a reliable supply
of heat and electricity.
CHP Association is the voice for CHP
and clean, distributed generation; the
only advocacy organization committed
exclusively to advancing legislative and
regulatory policies before federal and state
governments.
Our mission is to increase deployment
of CHP systems through superior advocacy,
networking, education, and market
information.
Our members include not only CHP
companies, but also those offering related
energy recycling and many other forms of
clean, distributed generation. We work to
develop sound clean energy policy and
marketplace solutions that support CHP
investment. Our premise is that all CHP is
good. All CHP offers effciency, reliability,
and greenhouse gas reduction.
We welcome the participation of all who
share our goals and our vision for a cleaner
and more reliable national grid and a
healthier environment. Please visit the CHP
Association online at www.CHPAssociation.

ombined heat and power
(CHP) advocates often say their
technology gets little notice.
Several people jokingly mused
at a CHP conference that perhaps it is
because it is shaped like a box.
But in recent years, CHP has begun to
garner more and more attention... and now
it has the interest of US President Barack
Obama. He issued an executive order
in August that calls for adding 40 GW of
industrial CHP by 2020.
Obamas executive order is a target, not
a mandate, and comes with no fnancial
incentives attached. Still, such presidential
action is unprecedented in the US for CHP.
And if the goal is achieved, it will represent
signifcant market acceleration for CHP.
The US added only about 3.4 GW of CHP
between 2006 and 2011, according to ICF
International
It is a really big deal when you get the
presidents attention on these issues, and
he moves forward on an executive order
like this, says Kathleen Hogan, deputy
assistant secretary for Energy Effciency
and Renewable Energy at the Department
of Energy, who spoke in October at the
US Clean Heat and Power Association,
recently renamed the CHP Association,
annual gathering in Washington.
So a big push for CHP is coming from
the very top.
But interestingly, it is also coming from
the bottom too, from the community
level. More and more governors and even
mayors are beginning to encourage energy
effciency policies which include CHP.
We are seeing an uptick in interest in
local energy solutions, says Rob Thornton,
president of the International District
Energy Association. Mayors now are
looking for more resilient energy services.
What is it that is evoking their interest?
Local offcials are worried about the recent
hurricanes and snow storms, and the
subsequent lengthy power outages and
they increasingly recognise the need to
pursue sustainable practices and climate
action plans.
But there is another factor too, Thornton
says. Citizens are demanding cleaner and
more effcient energy.
So from top to bottom, from the highest
offce down to the local voter, awareness is
growing about the importance of effcient
energy solutions like CHP.
Of course, that does not mean it will be
clear sailing, and the US will easily develop
its full CHP potential over the next several
years. There are several obstacles that
remain.
Utility support offers the best path to
more CHP development. But what reason
do utilities have to foster the resource?
Their business structures do not reward
them for doing so. In fact, they lose
customers to CHP.
The American Council for an Energy-
Effcient Economy and others are
calling for this to change. Given their
strong balance sheets and comfort with
long-term investment, utilities are the
perfect partner to help industry invest in
CHP. State policy makers need to look at
ways to change utility incentive structures
so that supporting CHP makes sense for
them.
Meanwhile, the US Environmental
Protection Agency and Department of
Energy is deploying its experts to help
states and communities work toward
achieving the 40 GW goal.
Inside this Guide to US CHP Companies,
we show how CHP is becoming an
increasingly important part of US energy
supply, as it hardens infrastructure against
storms, prepares for the retirement of coal-
fred plants and strives for a more effcient,
competitive economy.
We explain how combined heat and
power provides cost savings, effciency
and environmental benefts, and highlight
real-world examples. We also outline its
export potential as well as trends for future
innovation.
Please read on to learn how you can reap
the benefts of this tried-and-true resource.

uperstorm Sandy crippled the US
Northeast in October 2012, leaving
millions of people with no power, in
some cases for weeks.
Sandy caused fve times as many power
outages as the next largest storm ever to
strike New York City, which occurred just a
year earlier. Poles toppled, bringing with
them kilometres of wire and the darkening
of large swathes of the USs most popu-
lated urban corridor. And yet not everyone
was in the dark.
Lights kept burning in buildings owned
by New York University and a 14,000-unit
Bronx apartment complex called Co-op
City. Power, heat and water all worked
at The Brevoort, a 20-story 1950s era
co-operative in Greenwich Village. In
nearby Connecticut, Fairfeld University
retained electricity during Sandy, as did
Princeton University in New Jersey. What
did these buildings share in common?
Each of these buildings had installed a
combined heat and power (CHP) systems,
which is a form of distributed generation
that can operate independently of the grid.
When utility power goes down, CHP can
keep operating.
CHP can play an important role in
increasing local resilience in the face of
worsening weather and grid outages, and
mitigating increased grid vulnerability due
to transmission over long distances, said
Anna Chittum, senior policy analyst at the
American Council for an Energy-Effcient
Economy (ACEEE) in her blog How CHP
Stepped Up When the Power Went Out
During Hurricane Sandy.
Government leaders are increasingly
recognising this, she added in the blog at
www.aceee.org.
Chittum said: Communities should be
thinking seriously about how to use more
resilient technological approaches such as
CHP in the face of more volatile weather
caused by climate change. Highly effcient
CHP is a win-win-win. Facilities save money,
reduce their energy use and emissions and
hedge against disasters.
Indeed communities are looking more
seriously at CHP, not only to brace for
storms but to reduce energy costs, lower
emissions and achieve energy effciency
goals. The terms CHP, distributed
generation, district energy and micro-
grid are being used more and more
frequently in speeches and plans by city
mayors and state governors as new and
stronger policies emerge at local and
national levels to spur more CHP.
THE MOST BANG OUT OF YOUR BTU
If you buy your electricity from a utility, you
are participating in a system that literally
lets energy disappear into the sky. This is
unwise from economic and environmental
perspectives. Conventional power plants
make no use of the excess heat created
in electricity production. In fact, the US
wastes more heat in generating power than
all of the energy used in Japan.
But CHP systems are different. They not
only generate power, they also capture the
excess heat created in the process, using
it to heat a buildings air or water or to
contribute to an industrial process.
Todays low natural gas prices and
booming supply also gives CHP a boost.
Shale gas production has increased 14-fold
since 2005, according to consultancy ICF
International.
As a result prices have fallen dramatically.
This is signifcant because natural gas fuels
71% of US CHP capacity.
There is a changing outlook for natural
gas in the United States, said Bruce
Hedman, vice president of ICF, who spoke
in October 2012 at the US Combined Heat
and Power Association annual conference
in Washington DC.
Its still a fnite resource, but for a long
time there is going to be a lot of natural
gas in North America at a price that seems
to be decoupled from world oil prices. So
it really is a resource that I think is going to
drive a good portion of this market.
As natural gas becomes an increasingly
important part of the US economy, it is
imperative that it be used wisely.
If were banking on natural gas as our
generation source of the future, the most
effcient way we can use it is through CHP,
said the ACEEEs Chittum in an interview.
You can get the most bang out of your
BTU. To do anything else would be wasting
this domestic resource.
Given all of the factors working in CHPs
favour, it is no surprise that analysts expect
to see an increased use of these systems in
hospitals, universities, stores, factories and
other businesses and institutions. About 82
GW is now in operation, and the federal
government is pushing for a near 50%
increase.

CHP
WHY CHP IS SO EFFICIENT
Also known as cogeneration, CHP is
gaining importance in US energy planning
because it:
lowers energy costs to businesses and
institutions;
reduces greenhouse gases and other
harmful emissions;
trims demand on a sometimes strained
electric grid;
lessens our reliance on traditional
energy supplies;
consumes no water in generating
electricity, while a conventional coal
fred power plant consumes 0.75 to
2.27 gallons of water per kWh;
avoids power line losses because the
generator is close to the user; and
refocuses infrastructure investments
on distributed generation and smart
energy options.
Most US power plants throw away
two thirds of the fuel used in production
in the form of waste heat. As a result
the effciency of utility fossil fuel plants
averages only about 33%, according to the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Rather than discard the heat produced
in the generation process, as large grid-
connected power plants do, CHP uses
the byproduct to heat, cool or humidify a
building, reclaiming one third of the energy
that would otherwise be lost. These on-site
units make productive use of almost all of
their fuel and can achieve effciencies of
70%95%.
HOW CHP SAVES MONEY
Businesses save money by using less fuel
when they employ CHP. But that is only the
beginning of the potential cost savings.
CHP also can help:
reduce capital costs;
hedge against escalating fuel prices;
protect core business revenue; and
reduce certain utility charges.
Those who are building a new facility or
renovating an older one may be able to
reduce capital costs by installing CHP in
place of boilers or chillers. CHP also can
help energy users hedge against unstable
electricity prices. When utility rates rise,
the facility can forgo use of utility power
and instead rely more heavily on its on-site
generation. In addition, the facility may
be able to switch fuel, depending on its
confguration. So if the price of one fuel
becomes high, the facility can switch to
another fuel to run the unit. CHP systems
can often be confgured to accept a variety
of fuels, such as natural gas, biogas, coal
and biomass.
CHP users may also see some of their
utility service bills decline, particularly if the
local utility calculates demand charges
based on a customers peak electricity usage
over a specifc period, usually a month. A
customer that uses CHP lowers demand
costs by reducing the amount of power it
buys from a utility. It is able to do this
because it generates at least part of its
power on site and because it uses waste
heat rather than electricity to heat, cool or
humidify the building. And fnally, companies
with on-site boilers will fnd less need to
operate them, minimising the wear and tear
on the boilers and preserving their longevity.
LOWERING SOCIETYS ENERGY COSTS
The advantages of distributed energy
extend beyond the company that installs
the unit. Other customers in the geographic
area may also accrue benefts. CHP can
displace expensive on-peak energy during
hot summer days. This decreases costs for
all energy users on the grid because utilities
and independent system operators must
otherwise ramp up expensive peaking units
to avoid blackouts.
CHP aids the grid in other ways as well.
A form of distributed generation, the units
can be placed at various points on the grid,
right where they are needed. This contrasts
with large central plants that are often
located far from the consumer, requiring
construction of power lines to transport the
electricity.
Kendall station, which feeds the district energy network in Cambridge, MA, US, underwent an upgrade that boosted its output and r
7
CHP
It is increasingly expensive to build
these power lines and often hard to fnd
places where they do not impinge on
neighbouring populations. CHP that is
strategically placed helps avert the need
for these expensive new transmission
lines because the power source sits close
to the customer that uses its output,
whether the customer is a factory, hospital,
neighbourhood or other type. Therefore all
customers served by the utility are spared
the rate increases likely to come from
constructing long power lines.
Customers also avoid the cost of line
loss. Because the CHP system is built
close to the consumer, these units reduce
the energy that naturally dissipates when
electrons travel long distances over wires.
This is a common and costly phenomenon
that prohibits the full amount of power
generated at the plant from making it to
the consumer. In fact as much as 5%10%
of electricity can be lost in this way. Less
loss means less waste of costly fuel used in
generation.
GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
Aware of these benefts exists in
government, which has increased its
support for CHP. States are leading the
way, and the Obama administration is
providing technical assistance.
On the federal level, projects can take
advantage of a 10% investment tax credit
for CHP projects that are smaller than
50 MW. For fuel cells the credit is equal to
30% of expenditures and for micro-turbines
10%. On the state level, several states
incorporate CHP into renewable portfolio
standards (RPSs) or energy effciency
portfolio standards. For more details on
state and federal incentives see the Further
Information section to this guide (p35),
provided by the US EPA CHP Partnership.
In addition programmes for CHP and
waste heat energy are being advanced by
several Clean Energy Application Centers
(CEAC) previously called Regional
Application Centers that have been set
up by the DOE around the country. The
table provides contact details for them.
The ACEEE scrutinised how well states
foster CHP as part of its 2012 State Energy
Effciency Scorecard. The report considers
portfolio standards, fnancial incentives,
net metering and emissions treatment.
The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states
tended to score high, with Massachusetts
as number one and Connecticut number
three. Massachusetts has a special portfolio
carve-out aimed largely at expanding CHP.
Called an alternative portfolio standard
(APS), the programme began in 2009 with
a requirement that utilities and competitive
suppliers secure 1% of their supply from
resources specifed in the APS.
The requirement increases each year
by 0.5% until 2014 and by 0.25% from
then on. The programme helps many
CHP projects overcome internal fnancial
hurdles, according to Nexant, a leading
aggregator of CHP-generated Alternative
Energy Credits (AECs) in Massachusetts.
Companies like Nexant also offer
resources and equipment lease
arrangements or will even own and operate
the CHP system independently. Under
this arrangement the customer receives
discounted heat and electricity.
Utility support is also spurring CHP
development in Massachusetts. NSTAR,
National Grid and Unitil offer incentives of
$750/kW for CHP installations.
Connecticut has also typically been
a strong state for CHP development,
although the market has slowed, according
to Nexant. Connecticut includes CHP in
its RPS requirement, which means that
utilities and retail suppliers must secure a
designated amount of CHP credits to meet
the state standard.
But the state capped the programme
and now the credit market is over-supplied.
In addition, Connecticut utilities have
stopped offering incentives of $450$500
per kW for CHP development. CHP may
revive in Connecticut under a state energy
plan that was in the works while this guide
was being prepared.
A draft of the plan calls for greater
energy effciency efforts and more support
for industrial CHP.
Incentives for CHP in Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont are signifcantly
smaller in scope and generally tied to
energy effciency programmes. Rhode
Island is making inroads with utilities to
provide incentives similar to the $750/kW
offered in Massachusetts. But only time
will tell if any programme is implemented
and useful for CHP owners and developers,
according to Nexant.
Meanwhile, New York has pushed CHP
for many years through the New York
State Energy Research and Development
Authority (NYSERDA), which fostered
development of a series of demonstration
projects beginning in 2000. The state is
expected to accelerate CHP installations
as it rebuilds after Sandy and attempts to
fortify its electricity infrastructure for any
future storms. Governor Andrew Cuomo
announced a $1 billion clean energy bank
to support a range of green and effcient
technologies.
New Jersey offers incentives for CHP
through three avenues. The frst focuses on
commercial & industrial CHP and fuel cell
systems of no more than 1 MW, the second
is for projects greater than 1 MW and the
third benefts systems that use renewables
or biomass. In nearby Maryland, Baltimore
Gas & Electric was accepting proposals in
gy network in Cambridge, MA, US, underwent an upgrade that boosted its output and reduced its environmental impact

CHP
2013 to award, on a frst-come frst-serve
basis, incentives of up to $2 million per
CHP project.
Meanwhile, the ACEEE found that
California, Ohio and Texas are leading
examples of states with CHP-friendly
policies. In 2012, Ohio incorporated major
forms of CHP into its energy effciency
portfolio standard. The state also teamed
up with the DOE to provide technical
assistance to industrials that may beneft
from CHP.
Texas in 2012 issued a new Permit
by Rule (PBR) for stationary natural gas
engines and combustion turbines for CHP
systems up to 15 MW.
The new PBR is expected to signifcantly
spur project development because it cuts
both permitting time and equipment cost.
It takes into account fuel type, technology,
operating hours and location of the unit.
PBR emission limits are specifed in terms
of emissions per unit of total output,
including thermal and electrical energy,
according to the Texas Combined Heat
and Power Initiative.
In 2011 California began to improve its
climate for CHP by allowing non-renewable
forms to participate in its Self-Generation
Incentive Program.
As the ninth largest economy in the
world, the state offers great potential
for CHP, about 8500 MW of which now
operates in the state. Governor Jerry
Brown wants an additional 6500 MW to be
added by 2030.
However, developers in the state
say they can come up against negative
attitudes from utilities toward CHP, diffcult
interconnection rules, exit fees, standby
charges and a lack of net metering.
Louisiana made progress by enacting
legislation aimed at ensuring that the
CHP option be evaluated prior to the
construction or renovation of any critical
government facilities. The law aims to
guarantee that they can run when major
storms and disasters strike. Texas takes a
similar approach.
RECENT DEALS
In early January Ameresco announced a
deal with the Fall River Housing Authority
(FRHA) in which it will provide water and
energy effciency upgrades, including CHP,
to more than 1500 FRHA housing units.
The contract comes under the US
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) energy performance
contract programme, which provides
incentives to public housing authorities
across the country to implement energy
and water savings improvements to their
housing units.
The HUD programme uses the energy
and water savings to leverage private capital
to cover the costs of the improvements,
so there is no out-of-pocket cost to the
FRHA, said Dan McDonald, FRHA deputy
executive director.
The $6.8 million project includes water
and lighting effciency upgrades, upgraded
apartment temperature controls, combined
heat and power, and mechanical system
upgrades for space heat and domestic hot
water. Energy management systems will
be installed too to control and monitor the
effciency upgrades.
The FRHA expects to save $13 million
over the 20-year term of the project.
These savings will enable the FRHA to
provide energy effciency and infrastructure
upgrades to its properties with no up-front
cost on a cash fow neutral basis. This
allows the authority to further its mission
of assisting lower income families with
safe and affordable housing, and provides
greater comfort for its residents, said
David Anderson, Ameresco executive
vice-president.
Construction is scheduled to begin this
year and continue for about 15 months.
Since the inception of the HUD
programme about 20 years ago, more than
240 public housing authorities nationwide
have participated in it. The pogramme
has so far leveraged over $839 million in
energy and water improvements.
Greenwich Village luxury high rise opts
for CHP
Tecogen will install a 200 kW combined
cooling, heating and power (CCHP)
system at The Brevoort East, a luxury 323
unit high-rise co-operative in Greenwich
Village, New York.
Under the deal announced in early
January, the company will deliver electricity,
space heating, domestic hot water and air
conditioning to the buildings common
areas.
The system is expected to signifcantly
reduce the buildings costs and carbon
footprint. It will also offer energy backup for
the 26-story buildings essential services.
The CHP package will include two
Tecogen InVerde 100 kW cogeneration
units that will be driven by natural-gas
engines that have ultra-low emissions
controls.
The system will also include an 80 tonne
absorption chiller. Tecogen will be the sole
provider for the all-inclusive Brevoort East
turnkey package, including engineering,
permitting, installation, startup and
maintenance.
In addition to the benefts of being
more energy effcient and environmentally
friendly, the expected cost savings
generated by the CCHP system will
be used to establish an annuity for our
current and future shareholders, said Jay
Silverzweig, board member and chairman
of the infrastructure committee for The
Brevoort East.
A grant from NYSERDA will cover about
50% of the total system cost.
The cogen units will come pre-packaged
with an inverter and CERTS microgrid
management technology. The effciency
of the InVerde units will be 90%. The
captured heat displaces the use of a boiler
for domestic hot water and space heating.
During warmer weather, the absorption
chiller will convert the captured heat into
free air conditioning. The co-op has central
air conditioning, and this feature alone will
save a signifcant amount of money.

NEW WORLD REASONS FOR CHP

CHP
11
I
n the early days of the power industry,
simple forms of CHP were common.
Systems generated power where it was
required in the factory, mill or mine.
Invariably the excess heat was put to good
use, possibly for industrial processes or
space heating.
Later, this energy alternative became the
domain of large, complex manufacturing
facilities, such as chemical plants and
paper mills. Next it became apparent
that CHP is cost-effective for a range of
energy users, among them hospitals, food
facilities, shops, universities, data centres,
hotels, athletics facilities and multi-family
residential buildings.
Today CHP is perceived as a
green technology that solves several
contemporary energy problems. In a
world where electricity is central to our
commerce, communications and everyday
functioning, CHP stands as a source of
energy we can count on.
In addition, CHP lowers our energy costs,
a basic input for any developed economy,
so helps make America more competitive
globally. And after doing all of this, CHP
also reduces greenhouse gases in a world
increasingly worried about climate change.
But how does CHP work? Not in the
traditional way. The customer does not
buy electricity from a utility and obtain
heat separately by burning gas or oil in a
furnace. Instead, they receive both services
from a single source, typically a small heat
and power plant that is located on-site.
As a result, consumers have more
control over their electricity supply and
consumption because they can customise
CHP equipment for their unique needs.
In some cases these systems provide
all of the power for a facility, and in others
they partially offset electricity from the
grid. It is important to note that CHP is
not tied to one technology. It can be any
application that simultaneously produces
two or more forms of energy from a single
fuel source typically heat and electricity
from gas.
A CHP systems prime mover might be
a reciprocating engine, combustion or gas
turbine, a steam turbine, a micro-turbine or
a fuel cell. The thermal energy from CHP
can be used in direct process applications
or indirectly to produce steam, hot water,
hot air for drying, or chilled water for
cooling. CHP plants are usually most cost-
effective if they operate near the source of
their fuel.
Natural gas is the dominant fuel for CHP
plants but they also use gases from landfll
sites and sewage treatment facilities, and
biomass too solid waste from agriculture
and forestry.
Biomass in particular has emerged as a
fuel with enormous potential as US energy
planners push for greater use of green
resources. Biomass comes from plant or
animal matter, so crops, trees, and animal
and plant waste, for example, are burned
or converted into a gas that can be used
as fuel.
Typical fuels are wood, sawdust,
combustible agricultural waste, biogas
from the anaerobic digesters of organic
matter such as wastewater sludge or farm
waste, and black liquor, a by-product of the
pulping process.
Biomass-fred units are ideal for
agricultural or forestry industries, where
a plentiful supply of fuel exists. Sawmills,
pulp and paper mills, sugar cane farms,
dairies and poultry farms provide so much
biomass that it makes good economic and
environmental sense to use the waste to
generate energy.
However, with todays natural gas prices
so low, biomass development has slowed.
This is expected to change when gas prices
rise again.
CHP LOWERS EMISSIONS
Energy effciency and CHP are gaining
increased attention at all levels of
government, from local mayors to the
president of the United States. This
isnt surprising. CHPs environmental
advantages become obvious when stacked
up against conventional generation.
A typical utility plant burns fuel to
convert water into steam. The steam
drives a turbine to produce power. In
other instances gas is burned, causing it to
expand and drive a gas turbine to produce
power, but the process also creates heat or
steam. These by-products are discarded
rather than put to good use.
In contrast, CHP optimises fuels like
gas. Less use of fossil fuels means lower
emissions of carbon dioxide (CO
2
), nitrogen
oxide and sulphur dioxide.
The US Environmental Protection
Agency CHP Partnership diagram shows
how much a 5 MW natural gas-fred CHP
12
CHP
project reduces CO
2
when it displaces
separate heat and power units.
Coal-fred power plants have provided
about half of US power for many years but
are increasingly being shut down. They
are aging and many do not stack up well
against other forms of generation in terms
of environmental performance. Moreover,
replacing them with new coal-fred plants
would be expensive. Suzanne Watson,
policy director at the American Council
for an Energy-Effcient Economy (ACEEE),
said the US might see as much as 65 GW
of coal retire by 2020. The areas likely to
be the most affected are Texas, the zone
covered by transmission organisation PJM
and the Midwest. Over half of coal plants
in the US lack at least one major pollution
control, and $70180 billion will be spent
on compliance, according to Watsons
presentation at the New York State Energy
& Research Development CHP conference
in June 2012.
NEAR-TERM OPPORTUNITIES
What is the best way for the US to replace
its coal plants? A September 2012 ACEEE
report found that CHP offers signifcant
near-term opportunities. According to
Coal Retirements and the CHP Investment
Opportunity, a look at CHP in 12 states
shows that it can play a large role in
replacing coal. But states need to create
a more CHP-friendly policy climate, and
utilities must make greater investments in
the resource.
CHP advocates say the resource would
beneft from a broad federal policy that
recognises its environmental benefts. But
so far the US has resisted a national CO
2
cap
and trade programme. Even a clean energy
standard, which would require that states
secure a certain amount of their power
from low or zero emissions resources, has
been unable to pass Congress.
Without Congressional action, the
Environmental Protection Agency is in the
process of working out CO
2
restrictions
through the Clean Air Act Amendments.
Meanwhile several states have moved
ahead on their own. For example, nine
states in the North East and mid-Atlantic
operate under the Regional Greenhouse
Gas Initiative, or RGGI, which came into
effect in 2009. States sell nearly all emission
allowances through auctions and invest
a large amount of the proceeds in clean
energy, including CHP.
RGGI states encourage the use of CHP to
lower emissions and use part of the funds
from the programmes allowance auctions
to fund such clean energy approaches. In
all, the auctions had accrued $1.1 billion as
of September 2012. The states allocated
over 49% of the money to effciency efforts,
according to Environment Northeast.
Meanwhile, California is taking signifcant
steps to reduce greenhouse gases by
25% by 2020 through its Global Warming
Solutions Act. The state held its frst carbon
allowance auction in November 2012 and
was planning a second for the frst quarter
of 2013.
IF ALL THESE BOILERS
INSTALLED NATURAL GAS-
FUELLED CHP OR WHR
SYSTEMS, THEY COULD
GENERATE IN EXCESS OF
25 GW OF CLEAN POWER
THE EQUIVALENT OF 50
CONVENTIONAL POWER
PLANTS
The law puts in place a mandatory cap
on greenhouse gases. California produces
1.4% of the worlds greenhouse gases,
6.2% of the US total and is the worlds 12th
largest climate polluter, according to the
Environmental Defence Fund.
The EPA has stepped in to regulate
greenhouse gases from power plants
under the Clean Air Act Amendment and
included CHP and industrial effciency
in rulemaking efforts. The agency in late
2010 issued guidance for greenhouse
gas emissions permits that makes energy
effciency the centrepiece of its compliance
options.
Energy recycling techniques, including
CHP and related waste heat recovery, are
incorporated as cost-effective ways to cut
greenhouse gas emissions in the industrial
sector. The environmental agency also
explicitly mentions CHP and waste
heat recovery as Best Available Control
Technologies that will allow industrial plants
to employ energy recycling techniques
as a way to satisfy the EPAs permitting
requirements.
In December 2012 the EPA fnalised
pollution standards for the Clean Air Act.
In short, these are termed ICI Boiler MACT
(or in the long version National Emissions
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for
Major Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and
Institutional Boilers and Process Heater).
The standards apply to large boilers in a
wide range of facilities and institutions,
according to the DOE, which is offering
technical assistance to ensure that those
facilities burning coal or oil know about
strategies they can use to comply, such as
installing natural gas CHP.
After the standards were released, the
Alliance for Industrial Effciency encouraged
boiler owners and utility regulators to seize
the opportunity to create new clean power
with CHP and waste heat recovery (WHR).
By our analysis if all of these boilers
installed natural gas-fuelled CHP or WHR
systems, they could generate in excess
of 25 GW of clean, effcient power the
equivalent of 50 conventional power
plants, the group said.
The federal MACT rule uses output-
based environmental standards to test
emissions, a trend also underway in several
states, and one that effciency advocates
call encouraging. Rather than measure
emissions based on a power plants heat
input or exhaust concentration, output-
based standards recognise the value of
effciency. That is, they acknowledge that
CHP units use less fuel and therefore emit
less pollution to create the same amount
of energy as conventional systems.
CALCULATING EMISSIONS
The EPA CHP Partnership has developed
an emissions calculator (at www.epa.gov)
to quantify the emissions reductions from
combined heat and power. The device
compares the anticipated CO
2
, sulphur
dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from
a CHP system with those from a system
that generates heat and power separately.
The calculator also translates the emissions
reductions into tonnes of carbon equivalent,
emissions from passenger vehicles and
area of fr or pine trees. In addition the
EPA has published reports that verify the
13
CHP
greenhouse gas reductions of various CHP
technologies and other advanced energy
systems.
CHP offers other environmental benefts
too. These units are typically located at
existing industrial or commercial facilities,
so they need no new green space for their
construction, which prevents displacement
of fora and fauna. And because the units
are near the customer, they require no
signifcant construction of new power lines.
Finally, CHP cuts water use, an especially
important consideration in western states.
Central thermal power plants, in contrast,
require large amounts of water for cooling,
much of which may evaporate in cooling
towers before it can be recycled. CHP
generally does not use cooling towers.
GREEN BUILDINGS
Green buildings were expected to
represent 44% of all commercial and
institutional construction in 2012, and
this is predicted to grow to 55% by 2016,
according to McGraw-Hills Construction
Green Outlook 2013. The report estimates
that the market will grow from $85 billion in
2012 to $98$106 million by 2013. By 2016
it may reach $204-248 billion.
The green building movement is
important to society because buildings
consume 17% of US energy. Green
development offers sustainable design,
effciency in the use of water and energy,
conservation of materials and an emphasis
on indoor air quality. Industries expected
to pursue green building also happen
to be prime candidates for CHP, such as
hospitals, schools and offce buildings.
Bigger projects are the most likely to go
green, according to McGraw-Hill.
Many green buildings try to meet
the LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) standards, set by
the the US Green Building Council. CHP,
solar, wind and other forms of on-site
energy can help them do so. The council
has developed a calculation methodology
to gauge the benefts of using CHP in LEED
buildings, available at www.usgbc.org.
In addition to helping to clean the
air on a global level, CHP systems can
improve quality within a building, thus
reducing maintenance costs and improving
working conditions. Heating, ventilation
and air conditioning systems often provide
insuffcient humidity control or fail to meet a
buildings need for outside air. CHP systems
with desiccant dehumidifers provide better
humidity control than conventional systems
and reduce the potential for the growth of
mould and bacteria.
REAL WORLD EXAMPLE
The Targa plant at Mont Belvieu has been
in operation since 1967. It receives natural
gas liquids from various sources, including
plants in Louisiana and New Mexico,
through pipelines, barges or by rail. The
composition of the liquid is a mixture
of ethane, propane, butane and natural
gasoline.
Each of the components is stored in a
liquid state in wells formed by salt domes.
The gas is pumped out on demand and
sent to the fractionators for processing.
The natural gas liquids (NGL) undergo frac-
tionation in a series of towers, where distil-
lation separates them into components.
The fractionation requires heat to sequen-
tially boil the hydrocarbons in the NGL
stream because the CHP plant provides
this. Previously most of the process steam
required came from aging and unreliable
boilers.
Targa comprises a Solar Turbines Titan
130 gas turbine with selective catalytic
reduction (SCR) technology and a duct
fred heat recovery steam generator
(HRSG). The turbine has a nominal rated
capacity of 15 MW and provides 70%90%
of the sites electricity needs. Exhaust
gas from the turbine passes through the
HRSG to produce steam at a pressure of
2900 kPa. Duct burners integrated into
the HRSG boost steam production from a
nominal unfred capacity of 22,700 kg/hour
to 118,000 lbs/hour.
The resulting steam meets roughly 65%
of the sites peak steam demand, which
allowed Targa to decommission an aging
boiler and reduce overall NOx emissions. In
addition to the CHP plant, the project also
entailed the burner replacement of a 100
MMBtu/hour heater with low-NOx burners.
The NOx emissions rate associated with
the project is 17 tonnes/year or 0.0095 kg/
MWh. Despite the plant being in Chambers
County, which is part of the eight-county
Houston to Galveston non-attainment
zones, the NOx permit for the plant was
granted within two months from the date
of application. The plant operates 24/7
throughout the year with four scheduled
quarterly outages for preventative turbine
maintenance, each lasting from one to
three days.
The steam requirement at the plant was
around 180,000 kg/hour. Four boilers, with
a combined nameplate capacity of 191,000
kg/hour catered to this steam need. Two 30
year old boilers were energy hogs and had
frequent maintenance issues. The boiler
situation resulted in high energy costs and
led to reliability issues that threatened
critical processes. The ineffciencies and
poor reliability of the existing heating
plant, coupled with the potential of plant
expansion, led Targa to examine the
potential for on-site cogeneration. The
match between electric and thermal loads
at the plant created strong economic
advantages for the CHP option. Different
plant confgurations were considered,
although the Titan 130 was eventually
selected for technical and economic
reasons. The CHP plant resulted in an
internal rate of return of 15% on invested
capital.
LESSONS LEARNED
Installation of the CHP plant was completed
in about 15 months with relatively few and
minor hurdles. The site is close to a 3400
kPa natural gas pipeline, so there was no
need for compression of the gas supplied.
However, low pressure fuel was required
for the duct burner, so a gas pipe with
regulators was required to deliver 103 kPa
gas to the burner.
Poor quality ammonia in the SCR
processor caused some scaling once the
plant became operational. Targa quickly
changed ammonia suppliers, alleviating
the problem.
The aging on-site substation caused
a unique interconnection to the grid.
Electricity exported to the grid is separately
metered but is credited back to Targa every
month. Since the plant is greater than 10
MW, it is registered at the Electric Reliability
Council of Texas, which manages the fow
of grid power. However, Targa chose to be
classifed as a self provider, as it did not
expect signifcant exports.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM CHP?

nstallation of CHP provides gains for the
user and society. It gives a facility secure
energy that is reliable, cost-effective
and predictably priced. Societys gain
is a drop in greenhouse gases and the
avoidance of the cost of building more
power plants and transmission to serve the
grid. Lower energy costs means an America
that is more competitive globally.
A range of businesses and institutions
now use CHP. Typically it works best
for those that have signifcant thermal
requirements or can supply steam to a
nearby facility. Industrials house about 87%
of US CHP but it is increasingly installed in
stores, offce buildings, schools, colleges,
data centres, hospitals and military bases.
There are still many businesses and
buildings that could beneft by installing
CHP. Technical potential exists in the US
to develop just under 65 GW of additional
CHP at existing industrial plants and just
over 65 GW in commercial and institutional
settings, according to a August 2012 report
by the Department of Energy (DOE) and the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The industrial potential would double to
130 GW if systems were sized to a facilitys
thermal demand not power demand
and if the building or factory could easily
sell any excess power it generates to the
grid or an adjacent facility, says the report.
So who gains from CHP?
HOSPITALS
Hospitals form a key target market for
CHP companies, which is no surprise
given their high demand for power and
hot water. While hospitals account for less
than 1% of commercial buildings, they use
4.3% of total energy used for that sector,
according to the US Energy Information
Administration. Because of their life-and-
death nature, 95% of hospitals have some
form of backup generation.
More than 200 hospitals nationwide
now use CHP, according to the DOE, but
this is clearly only a fraction of the more
than 3000 hospitals in the US. A 2 MW
on-site CHP installation can save a hospital
$400,000 annually and can cut energy bills
by acting as a hedge against the rising cost
of electricity, the DOE says. CHP systems
can also often be installed for less cost up
front than renewable energy and provide a
simple payback in 5 to 10 years.
CHP also helps hospitals because they
are major users of hot water. Large US
hospitals consume about 500 billion litres
of water per year. More than 99% need
hot water to sterilise containers, medical
instruments, surgical tools and trays. and
also to wash dishes and laundry and heat
pools, steam rooms and showers. A study
of Massachusetts hospitals found 23% of
water use goes into heating, ventilation
and cooling; 42% into sanitation; 14% into
medical processes; 9% into cooking; 5%
into laundry; and 9% is unaccounted for.
FOOD INDUSTRY
The food industrys energy use grew
by 80% from 1997 to 2002 as new
technologies came into play. Now the food
industry consumes about 15.7% of energy
in the US to grow, process, transport,
store and prepare meals, according to US
Department of Agriculture report Energy
Use in the US Food System.
Food safety has become a concern, so
facilities tend to use a signifcant amount
of hot water and steam to prevent bacteria
growth. The industry also depends heavily
on reliable electricity supplies. For example,
in the chocolate processing industry hot
chocolate is piped over long distances. If
the power is lost, the chocolate begins to
solidify in less than fve minutes.
Supermarkets also rely heavily on energy
reliability to maintain the quality of the vast
amount of food now kept in store freezers
and refrigerators. The EPA estimates that
refrigeration accounts for 40% of the
energy used by grocery stores. This makes
them prime candidates for CHP. Whole
Foods, Albertsons and Price Chopper are
among the stores nationwide that use CHP
fuel cell systems.
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
Schools have become champions of on-site
power, particularly as their energy needs
grow with greater use of air conditioning.
Colleges and universities focus increasingly
on effcient forms of energy in a bid to lower
costs and improve their environmental
footprint. Higher education is a $455 billion
industry that spends heavily on fuel, energy
and infrastructure and is set to spend more
as the number of students enrolling grows.
DATA CENTRES
Data centres need large amounts of reliable
energy to operate and cool equipment,
16
CHP
making them well suited for CHP. These
facilities make up 1.5% of total US electricity
use and account for an annual greenhouse
gas impact of 76 million tonnes, according
to the January 2012 report Data Centre
Energy Effciency, Renewable Energy and
Carbon Offset Best Practices, by energy
analysts Patrick Costello and Roshni Rathi.
Data centres are likely to double their
energy use and greenhouse gas emissions
by 2020, it says.
Increasing effciency offers the
opportunity for signifcant cost savings,
given that data centres use 2151076
W/m2 and pay 10 to 30 times more in
energy costs per given area than a typical
offce building. They beneft most from
CHP thermal confgurations that include
absorption chillers for air conditioning.
HOSPITALITY
Hotels are seeing energy consumption rise
as they add amenities, such as restaurants,
exercise facilities and gift shops.
The EPA has identifed about 10,000 US
hotels that are suitable for CHP. More than
1000 of these are likely to meet a simple
payback on their investment in fve years or
less, according to the federal agency.
Hotels that have between 100 and 300
rooms can use 60250 kW systems with
reciprocating engines, fuel cells or micro-
turbines that supply hot water for domestic
use, space heating and laundry needs.
Larger hotels with central cooling can
use bigger CHP systems by incorporating
absorption chillers that increase thermal
energy recovery and provide both air
conditioning and heating, says the EPA.
ETHANOL FACILITIES
The EPA sees a strong technical ft for CHP
in ethanol facilities. Potential exists to cut
the energy intensity of dry mill ethanol
production by 15%. CHP is attractive
for these facilities because energy is
their second highest production cost.
Electricity and steam demands are large
and coincident. For a facility that produces
57189 million litres per year, typical power
demand is 26 MW and typical steam
use is 18,00070,000 kg/hr, says the EPA.
Electricity and steam profles are relatively
fat, and facilities run 24/7.
INDUSTRY
Industry in general consumes more than
30% of US energy, so it is no surprise
that manufacturers are the largest users
of CHP in the US. Chemical, steel and
petroleum refning, pulp and paper, glass
manufacturing and other industries use CHP,
in some cases using industrial by-products
for fuel. Industry uses more energy than
any other single sector in the US, which
makes it an important focus of energy
effciency efforts. But US manufacturing
was hit hard by the economic crisis, and
some facilities were shut down, along with
their CHP plants.
WASTEWATER TREATMENT
CHP is particularly effective for wastewater
treatment facilities that use anaerobic
digesters, according to the EPA. CHP
systems can use biogas from the digesters
as fuel. Reliability is important to these
facilities because they must be able to
run in the event of a natural or man-made
disaster. CHP can provide this reliability
when grid power is down. Each million
litres per day of wastewater fow can
produce enough biogas in an anaerobic
digester to produce 6.9 kW and 0.63
million Btu per day in a CHP system. As
of June 2011, wastewater treatment CHP
systems were in place at 133 sites in 30
states. The EPA had identifed 104 waste
water treatment facilities that use biogas.
They represent 190 MW of capacity. CHP
is technically feasible at 1351 additional
sites and economically attractive (with a
payback of seven years or less) at between
257 and 662 of those sites, says the EPA.
Larger waste water treatment facilities tend
to offer the best economics.
RESIDENTIAL
Businesses have historically used CHP more
than apartment buildings or homeowners.
But recent storms, new technologies and
consistently high electricity prices in some
parts of the country have increased interest
in residential micro-turbines, which are
about the size of a refrigerator and are
sometimes installed on roofs. They may
require a permit from a municipal building
department or fre department, as well as
utility notifcation.
UTILITIES
Utilities own only about 2.4 GW of US CHP,
or 3%, according to the DOE/EPA paper,
but they represent a large opportunity to
expand CHP through partnerships with
industrials and CHP developers. Utilities
could bring to the partnerships strong
fnancial balance sheets, which often helps
them borrow money under favourable
terms. In return, large customers would be
more apt to stay with the utility, a strong
beneft in deregulated states where utilities
competition from retail suppliers. CHP can
also help utilities in grid planning. If CHP
is built in pinpointed areas, it can help
eliminate costly grid congestion.
United Illuminating, a small Connecticut
utility known for its energy effciency
innovations, is exploring a new approach
to encourage CHP that it calls Zero
Capital Upfront, or ZCAP. The programme
mirrors similar approaches used in solar
photovoltaic and energy effciency
fnancing, where third parties own the
energy equipment.
ZCAP marks a departure from
conventional CHP development. Today
a customer typically provides the capital
and pays upfront for the CHP installation
while the utility offers rebates to sweeten
the economics. The customer owns and
maintains the system.
Under ZCAP, however, a third party owns
and maintains the system and receives any
incentives or tax credits. The customer
benefts by achieving energy savings
and cost reductions without investing
any upfront capital. The customer signs a
contract to purchase energy from the CHP
system at a pre-arranged discount for the
life of the equipment.

CHP
UI is now facilitating deals between
customers and investors to test the ZCAP
model. However, the utilitys eventual goal
is to act as the third party and own the CHP
systems installed for customers. Whether
regulators approve the approach remains
open to question since Connecticut is a
deregulated state in which utilities are
not allowed to own generation. However,
regulators might let the utility own CHP not
as generation but as a distribution asset.
This would add a new rate-based asset that
could help boost utility profts.
DISTRICT HEATING AND COOLING
District heating and cooling systems
distribute steam or hot or cold water from
a central location via piping into multiple
buildings. They are especially effcient for
college campuses, urban facilities, military
bases, airports, research centres and
hospitals with multiple buildings. Buildings
are spared the capita expense of owning
their own boilers, furnaces, chillers or
air conditioning. Many of these systems
use CHP. Some district energy systems
serve just a few buildings, others far
more. Consolidated Edison, for example,
operates a district energy system in New
York City with more than 1800 buildings.
The International District Energy
Association serves as a worldwide
resource for district heating and cooling.
This Massachusetts-based non-proft
association has 1700 members in 25
countries who own, operate or provide
technology and services to district energy
systems that supply steam, hot water,
chilled water and energy services to
multiple buildings.
INDUSTRIAL WASTE AND HEAT
One increasingly discussed but largely
untapped subset of CHP is the recycling of
industrial waste energy. The EPA estimates
that as much as 65 GW could come from
waste energy in the US. Waste heat is
often recycled at refneries or plants that
manufacture paper, steel, glass, cement,
fbreglass or chemicals, or undertake other
energy-intensive processes. Most of the
nations waste heat opportunity can be
found in the Gulf states and the Midwest.
A large industrial waste energy recycling
project, totalling 220 MW, was built
between 1996 and 2004 at Arcelor/Mittal
Steel in northwest Indiana.
REAL WORLD EXAMPLES
Cummins Power Generation is a major
participant in a $6 million project with
Croda in New Castle, Delaware, that serves
as a model for CHP. It uses methane gas
from the nearby Cherry Island landfll
as fuel for a CHP system at the Croda
manufacturing facility in New Castle. The
Croda system will initially provide enough
energy to power 3500 homes.
Globally, landflls are the third largest
man-made source of emissions, accounting
for about 13% of methane, or the equivalent
of over 800 million tonnes of CO
2
on an
annual basis.
Cummins Power Generation installed
equipment and a low-pressure gas pipeline
to condition and transport the landfll gas
to multiple end-use customers. The Croda
Atlas Point facility is the frst of these
industrial users, located about 6.5 km away.
The CHP system includes two C1100N6C
(1100 kWe) Cummins gas generator sets
that use the landfll gas as fuel to produce
heat as well as electricity.
In addition to bringing landfll gas and a
renewable CHP solution to Croda, Cummins
Power Generation is also working on
energy solutions with other companies and
public entities within several kilometres of
the landfll to provide clean and sustainable
energy that will beneft both the public and
private sectors with the remainder of the
landfll gas that would otherwise be fared.
US MARINE CORPS BASE
The US Marine Corps Air Ground Combat
Centre (MCAGCC) at Twentynine Palms in
California helps ensure military operating
force readiness. However, it sits at the
end of an electrical distribution line and
has experienced frequent power outages.
Keeping military and civilian personnel and
their families comfortable has also been
challenging because of the bases location
in the Mojave desert, where temperatures
range from 49C by day to -7C by night.
The base needed signifcant improvements
to its climate control system, lighting and
security system but funding them was a
challenge, given budget restraints.
Johnson Controls worked with the
MCAGCC civilian facilities management
team, federal agencies and other resources
to develop and implement a multi-year
project to address energy effciency,
reliability and security and to ensure
comfortable living and working conditions.
Johnson Controls coordinated the
funding for the project, which included a
7.2 MW dual-fuelled CHP plant that helps
reduce energy costs and consumption
and increases power reliability and self-
suffciency. Johnson Controls uses an
energy savings performance contract to
guarantee suffcient savings over 20 years
to fnance the improvements.
RESULTS AND BENEFITS
The CHP plant provides enough power to
meet all critical needs for up to six days. So
if an outage occurs on the utility companys
distribution line, the base operates without
interruption. The dual-fuel nature of the
CHP plant makes it possible to switch
seamlessly between diesel and natural
gas should there be an interruption of
either fuel supply, thereby ensuring a
reliable, continuous source of electricity
independent of the grid.
The CHP plant saves about $5.8 million
a year, providing payback for construction
costs within just four years, after which
the savings keep coming and can be
used to fund future improvements. The
photovoltaic solar array is expected to
lower energy costs by $1.1 million a year
while providing clean, renewable energy
and helping to reduce the bases carbon
emissions and environmental impact. In
all, the base will save $6.9 million a year
over 20 years for a total of $138 million in
savings.
Upgrades and improvements to the
HVAC and lighting systems throughout
the base have made living and working
conditions much more comfortable for
military and civilian personnel and their
families. Maintenance calls in response to
complaints about heating or cooling have
fallen from a weekly average of about
90 to two.
The MCAGCC has received numerous
prestigious awards for improving energy
effciency and reliability, including
the Commander-in-Chief Installation
Excellence Award.

H
ow do you know if CHP will
work for you and save your
business or institution money? An
organisation needs to consider
costs, energy use, state regulations and
other factors.
In the following list of factors, the
more of the points that an organisation is
concerned about, the more cost-effective
CHP is likely to be:
current and future energy costs;
the impact of power outages on the
bottom line;
the amount of electricity and thermal
energy used;
transmission congestion in the local
region;
plans to expand a facility;
fuel availability;
the status of deregulation in the state;
energy quality and the sensitivity of the
operation to power fuctuations;
a desire to reduce emissions levels;
a desire to decentralise supply from the
national grid; and
a desire to receive electricity from the
grid and to supply electricity to it.
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
What makes a state hospitable to CHP?
A report by the American Council for an
Energy Effcient Economy (ACEEE) covered
many factors: interconnection standards;
net metering policies; output-based
emissions regulations; fnancial incentives;
a renewable portfolio standard or an
energy effciency resource standard; and
utility rates for standby power.
But even if a state has strong policies,
other factors can stymie CHP development.
One is a poor spark spread. This is the
difference between the price of the fuel
(usually natural gas) and the price of power
and heat provided by utilities. A poor spark
spread often occurs in states with low
electricity rates.
In 2012 the Environmental Protection
Agency released a spark spread calculator
(available at www.epa.gov). It requires the
input of several factors that affect spark
spread, such as typical monthly electricity
use in kWh, monthly fuel use in MMBtu,
hours per year that a facility operates, CHP
fuel price and other factors. If the result is
a positive number, the CHP project offers
returns above its cost of capital. The higher
the spark spread, the better the return on
investment.
The ACEEE also lists barriers, such as
utility business practices; a lack of access
to adequate fnancing; an aversion to
perceived risk and longer payback periods
by potential host companies/facilities; a
lack of local markets for excess power; a
lack of knowledge or general awareness of
CHP technologies and benefts; and a diff-
culty in obtaining necessary permits.
ELECTRICTY RATES
CHP tends to be most cost-effective in
states with high electricity rates. The table
on p22 from the US Energy Information
Administration shows the average price of
electricity by state. Not surprisingly, several
states with high rates have policies that
favour CHP. Policymakers in these states see
its value in easing energy costs. The table
shows the average cost of retail electricity
in each state, from the high of more than
30 cents/kWh in Hawaii to the 4 cents/
kWh range in Nevada, Iowa, Louisiana,
Oklahoma and Idaho, for example. The
EPA says that a facility may be a good
candidate for CHP if it pays more than
7 cents/kWh, which means a sound
fnancial argument can be made for CHP in
large swathes of the US.
GRID CONSTRAINTS
A business may be a good candidate
for CHP if it is in an area of transmission
congestion, which is one where the fow
of electricity is constricted. Congestion
raises electricity costs and the risk of
power interruptions and has become a
major problem in the US as construction
of transmission infrastructure has lagged
growth in demand for electricity. Several
states still set peak demand records,
despite the economic slowdown, because
of increased use of air conditioning and
electronic gadgets. The US has also begun
to incorporate its frst plug-in electric
vehicles, a trend set to accelerate.
Meanwhile the power grid has aged,
and many areas of the nation have failed
to upgrade and expand the system. A lack
of transmission can lead to price increases
caused by a lack of power. These shortages
occur because new plants cannot be built
in the area as the grid lacks the capacity
to connect them and can make diffcult
the import of electricity from neighbouring
regions into congested areas.
20
CHP
In areas such as the city of New York,
power supplies grow so tight during
heat waves in July and August that grid
operators take emergency measures. At
times utilities will curtail power to small
groups of customers to avoid wider
blackouts. Businesses in congested areas
should investigate CHP as a way to cut
costs and ensure electricity supply.
FACILITY CONSIDERATIONS
An organisations location on the electricity
grid may well play a part in the decision
to install CHP. But it is also important to
evaluate a facilitys characteristics and
energy use. The frst consideration should
be whether a need exists for electricity and
heat simultaneously over a long operating
period. The longer the period, the greater
CHPs economic and environmental
benefts.
Before installing a system it is necessary
to evaluate the economic and operating
characteristics of energy use. An
organisation has to determine the actual
or projected electricity and fuel costs of
its building over 12 months, the facilitys
operating hours, its heating and cooling
capacity, and the number of electricity
feeders and meters on-site. The economics
of CHP will depend on the cost of installed
equipment, its annual operations and
fnancing charges. Several software tools
can assist in the analysis.
SIZING A PROJECT
It is crucial that a system is sized correctly,
which is why it is important to employ a
knowledgeable installation company. If a
system is of an incorrect size, it may not
achieve maximum effciency. The New York
State Energy and Research Department
points out that a wide range of CHP system
sizes now exist. At colleges and hospitals
they are typically in the 550 MW range,
and at high-rise commercial offce buildings
they tend to be 110 MW. Multifamily
residential buildings, supermarkets and
hotels use those from 50300 kW and
home micro-CHP systems range between
15 kW.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Important questions that arise when
exploring CHP concern fuel supply,
demand, regulation, subsidies and fnance,
and the environment. Taking the frst of
these, a facility must ask four questions.
Firstly, does the site have easy access to
cheap or free energy, such as waste from
an industrial process carried out at the site?
Secondly, does the site need to dispose of
waste that can safely be burnt to reduce
volume. Thirdly, is the price of fuel likely to
rise sharply or is it already high? And fnally,
are there concerns about the security of
fuel supply?
Demand throws up the most questions.
These are:
Does the site have to generate heat,
steam or electricity as part of its normal
operations?
does the site have a demand for
electricity, heat, process steam or cooling?
is the cost of buying electricity from the
grid excessive, which justifes the use of
CHP?
does the facility operate for more than
5000 hours per year?
is there a need for secure and continuous
supply, justifying the provision of on-site
backup power and heat? Would an electri-
cal outage fnancially harm the organisa-
tions operation?
is there an asynchronicity in demand at
the site and from the grid, leading to the
situation where it could be cost-effective
to buy electricity from the grid during peak
operation and sell to the grid during low
demand?
would a CHP system capable of meeting
some, but not all, of the peak demand be
the most effective solution?
is there a local electricity demand that an
on-site generation system could meet?
is there a local demand for high-purity
steam or water?
is there a desire to secure self-suffciency
in energy supplies? And does the organisa-
tion plan to expand, retroft or upgrade its
facility in the next three to fve years?
Concerning regulation, a facility must
ask, is it likely that the site will be required
to reduce emissions signifcantly, are there
any organisations or groups near the site
that might be interested in buying excess
electricity or heat, and is the state deregu-
lated, and does it have rules that support
on-site generation? Unsupportive states
may allow utilities to charge high standby
or exit fees when customers leave the
system to cogenerate.
Questions on subsidies and fnance
should be: Are government subsidies
available to encourage conversion to high-
effciency energy production, and can a
co-operative be formed to help spread the
cost of installation and operation?
The environmental questions are: Is
the state government likely to impose
environmental regulations that encourage
CHP, energy effciency or renewable energy
supply, such as portfolio standards or
subsidies; is the organisation keen to take
sound environmental steps; might local
environmental concerns have an impact;
does diffcult access make transport of fuel
to the site a problem; is space an issue at
the site; and is the organisation in a state
with mandatory CO
2
emissions reductions
or a programme for carbon cap and trade,
such as the North East or California?
FINANCE
Financial assistance is often available
for CHP projects through developers,
equipment vendors and private investors.
Lenders will consider an organisations
creditworthiness and project goals, and in
some cases the technical and economic
merit of the project.
In addition, some developers now offer
long-term power purchase agreements
to hosts of CHP installations. Under these
contracts, the installer continues to own
and operate the CHP unit and the customer
pays only for energy. One example of this
is the service On-Site Utility from American
DG.
The EPA CHP Partnership offers a guide
to fnancing at www.epa.gov.
Some of the opportunities for fnancing
CHP systems include owner capitalisation,
lease fnancing and third-party ownership,
operation or maintenance.
Owner capitalisation provides the great-
est return on investment and ownership
or control of a system. Here the owner
assumes all the risks and may be part of
the capital budget or be fnanced through
traditional project-fnancing mechanisms,
depending on the creditworthiness of the
organisation.
Lease fnancing includes several leasing
strategies in which the project operator
21
CHP
leases part or all of the CHP project assets
from the asset owner.
It often includes options for the operator
to buy assets or extend the lease. Benefts
include lower risk and lower capital invest-
ment and has disadvantages including the
complexity of liability and accounting, and
a loss of some tax benefts to the project
operator.
Financing of the third-party own-oper-
ate-maintain type is usually of no cost to
the owner and is of low or no risk. It also
gives the investor most of the systems
fnancial benefts, commensurate with risk,
and may provide the host site reduced
rates for electricity and thermal energy. It
is also often feasible only where the proj-
ect has a signifcant return on investment,
due to the cost of equity and the need for
return to both investor and host site.
CHP POLICY
In recent years many states have
strengthened their polices that encourage
CHP and diluted rules that obstruct it.
States with utility rate decoupling have
removed a signifcant barrier to effciency
measures by separating utility profts from
volume of sales.
Here if the utility system becomes more
energy effcient and energy sales drop
the utility does not lose money. Without
decoupling, utilities may have little reason
to support the development of CHP.
Other states, such as Massachusetts,
have created special requirements under
which utilities secure a certain amount of
their energy from CHP or other effciency
forms of power production.
This approach mirrors the success states
have achieved with renewable energy
by requiring that utilities secure a certain
amount of their power from green sources.
These programmes are sometimes called
renewable portfolio standards or energy
effciency portfolio standards.
There are several policies that the EPA
CHP Partnership and other distributed
generation advocates recommend that an
organisation investigates before installing
CHP.
One policy is exit fees. These tend to
apply in states that have restructured or
deregulated their electricity industry. If
customers change their source of supply,
utilities may charge an exit fee to recover
the fxed costs of their capital assets
without shifting these costs onto remaining
customers.
But many factors affect utility rates and
revenues, for example customer growth,
climate, fuel prices and overall economic
conditions. Any reduction in load will not
necessarily increase cost, and this is an
issue that states are beginning to examine.
Another policy recommended for study
is standby and related rates. Facilities that
use CHP usually need standby power when
the system is unavailable. For these facili-
ties, electricity utilities often assess standby
charges to cover the additional costs of the
generating, transmission or distribution
capacity for intermittent service.
The utilitys concern is that it may have
to be prepared to provide power during
the extreme condition of a CHP facil-
itys demand for it at a time of scarcity or
premium cost.
Nevertheless the probability that all
interconnected small-scale distributed
generators will need power at the same
time is relatively low. Consequently states
are exploring alternatives to standby rates
that may more accurately refect realistic
system operating conditions.
Buyback rates is another policy
recommended for study. CHP projects may
have electricity to sell back to the grid,
either intermittently or continuously. The
payment received for it can be a critical
component of project economics.
The price the utility is willing to pay
can vary widely and is affected by federal
requirements for example the Public
Utilities Regulatory Policy Act standards
and state policies.
Gas rates must be considered too. Some
states, including New York, California and
Connecticut, have special favourable rates
for CHP facilities.
When it comes to public beneft funds,
several states collect money for clean
energy projects through a small surcharge
on utility bills (see subsidies and revenue).
Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS)
can be important to CHP facilities that
use biomass or other forms of renewable
energy.
RPS require that electricity utilities and
other retail electricity providers provide
a certain amount of renewable energy.
More than half of US states have adopted
these. In addition, states are increasingly
including energy effciency requirements in
portfolio standards; in some cases CHP is
specifcally named as a resource to be used
to meet the standards.
Consider output-based standards
too, say CHP advocates. These are
being increasingly adopted by states
and take into account the effciency of
a generation source when they measure
emissions. In contrast, input-based limits
do not acknowledge the higher fuel
effciency offered by CHP. Output-based
standards recognise the higher effciency
and environmental benefts of CHP by
measuring emissions per unit of useful
output of energy, whether electrical or
thermal.
Look into interconnection standards.
These are technical rules and procedures
distributed generators must follow to
connect to the grid. They vary between
states and are meant to ensure the grids
safety and reliability.
Some states rules are considered
friendly for CHP; others make it diffcult
to interconnect. The US EPA partnership
assesses the friendliness of each state at
www.epa.gov. The EPA determines how
easy the rules are for small systems of
under 10 kW, how quickly applications are
processed, system size limits, insurance and
technical requirements. The Energy Policy
Act of 2005 calls for state commissions
to consider adopting standards from
the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE).
Consider investment and production tax
credits. The frst type lower the fnancial
risk of a capital-intensive project during
development. Production tax credits kick
in after the project is producing power.
Several states offer tax credits for CHP, as
does the federal government.
SUBSIDIES AND REVENUE
A wide range of state and federal
incentives are available for CHP, including
grants, rebates and tax breaks. Some states
offer public beneft funds specifcally to
give fnancial assistance to clean energy
projects. California, Massachusetts and
New York are among those to offer this, the
22
CHP
states typically raising the money through a
small surcharge on customers utility bills.
A detailed description of this fnance is in
the funding database produced by the EPA
CHP Partnership, found at the end of this
guide.
State-by-state incentives for several
kinds of distributed generation are in the
Database of State Incentives for Renewable
Energy at www.dsireusa.org.
REAL WORLD EXAMPLE
Home and garden store Rogers Gardens
in Californias Orange County has installed
a 15 kW ClearEdge Power high-effciency
fuel cell to contribute to the energy
effciency and sustainability goals that are
part of its commitment to the environment.
The company will be able to use the CHP
system to reduce its greenhouse gas
emissions by more than 40% each year and
cut its annual energy bills.
The ClearEdge system delivers cost-
effective clean energy that helps us increase
effciencies and reduce our environmental
footprint, said Gavin Herbert Jr, co-owner
of Rogers Gardens. In addition its
compact design means it does not impact
the consumer experience.
The system will help power the facilitys
operations and computer systems while
the heat generated will warm the nurserys
orchid area. Rogers Gardens will cut its
greenhouse gas emissions by 17.2 tonnes
each year.
Rogers Gardens is another excellent
example of how our systems can support
an organisations sustainability goals and
reduce energy costs, said Neal Starling,
senior vice-president at ClearEdge Power.
This implementation is among those
employed by a diverse group of West Coast
organisations participating in an innovative
project supported by the US DOEs Offce
of Energy Effciency and Renewable Energy.
The project is designed to accelerate the
application of fuel cell technologies in a
variety of industries by demonstrating the
signifcant environmental and cost savings
they deliver when used in CHP.
Researchers at the DOEs Pacifc
Northwest National Laboratory will also
analyse the technical, economic and
environmental performance of the system
at Rogers Gardens.

SUCCESS STORIES

CHP
25
A
grower of greenhouse
vegetables is using CHP to
gain multiple benefts for its
business.
Houwelings Tomatoes has since August
2012 been running two GE 4.36 MW
Jenbacher J624 gas fuelled engines to
supply power and heat to its 51 hectare
greenhouse in Camarillo, California. The
site also employs a GE-designed system to
purify CO
2
from the engines exhaust and to
pipe it into the greenhouse to fertilise the
plants during the daylight photosynthesis
process in what is Americas frst such CHP
project.
Thermal energy of 10.6 MW is recovered
in exhaust gas heat exchangers that raise
the temperature of water that provides the
greenhouses heating. As the water is at a
low temperature when it enters the heat
exchangers, it cools the exhaust gases
and condenses out the water vapour that
is created by the engines combustion
process.
The system also includes thermal
storage. When the environment is cold,
heat produced by the CHP system during
power generation is transferred to the
greenhouse. At warm times the heat is
retained in thermal storage tanks for use
during other parts of the day.
The system offers a total thermal
effciency of nearly 90%, or a total effciency
of near 100% when taking into account the
energy gained in recovery of the water from
the exhaust and the energy not expended
in externally sourcing the CO
2
.
The high-effciency, low-emission nature
of Houwelings CHP plant offsets the use
of natural gas boilers, making this an
environmentally sound investment for the
grower.
GEs proven technology and industry-
leading effciencies allow us to have one
of the lowest CO
2
footprints and water
usage in the region for a power plant of
this size, said Casey Houweling, owner
of the greenhouse facility. In fact we plan
to use the water condensed out of the
exhaust gas in our operations. This will
save approximately 9500 gallons per day
[36,000 litres] of usage from local water
sources.
The CHP plant offers fexible generation
and has a fve-minute start-up capability.
Its 8.7 MW electrical output comes from
a Jenbacher J624 gas fuelled engine and
contributes power to the local utility for the
grid during peak daytime demand periods.
The Houwelings project represents the
launch in the 60 Hz realm of GEs J624 unit,
the worlds frst two-stage turbocharged
gas engine, and the frst of these engines
sold in the US.
GROWING GLOBAL DEMAND
GE says its June 2010 announcement of the
development of two-stage turbocharging
in gas engines carried out with specialists
from ABB Turbo Systems and its appli-
cations to the J624 was in response to a
growing global demand for high-effciency
power generation. Output and effciency
have increased compared with the single
turbocharged version, the company says.
The J624 is the worlds frst 24-cylinder gas
engine for commercial power generation
and is particularly well suited for CHP appli-
cations and operation in hot environments,
adds GE.
The 50 Hz version of the engine produces
an output about 10% higher, at 4.4 MW,
and has an electrical effciency of 46.5%,
an increase of about one percentage point.
One Jenbacher J624 two-stage
turbocharged gas engine can provide
electrical power for about 4400 average US
homes, saving about 10,700 tonnes of CO
2

per year, said Scott Nolen, product line
management leader for GE Gas Engines.
This is equal to the annual CO
2
emissions
of more than 2000 US cars.
Houwelings, which produces a broad
line of premium, hydroponically cultivated
tomatoes and seedless cucumbers year-
round, is through its use of the greenhouse
CHP bolstering its position as a forward-
thinking, leading and innovative business.
It is also boosting Californias goal to add
6500 MW of new CHP by 2020.
California Governor Edmund G. Jerry
Brown honoured the company in 2011 with
a Governors Environmental and Economic
Leadership Award for developing
environmentally friendly practices while
contributing to the local economy.
Houwelings has invested in a
COdiNOx-selective catalytic reduction
system to minimise the carbon monoxide,
hydrocarbons, NOx and toxic air
contaminants its CHP system produces.
The local air pollution control district in
Ventura County has required the installation
of best available control technology for the
26
CHP
CHP plant. The NOx emissions have been
limited to a maximum concentration level
of 5 ppmv, which meets the levels required
by the local regulatory agency as identifed
in the air permit. This represents a reduction
from Houwelings current boilers, which are
limited to a maximum of 40 ppmv of NOx.
Western Energy Systems, GEs
authorised US distributor of Jenbacher gas
engines, engineered and installed the CHP
system.
FUEL CELL FOR THE STARS
A high effciency fuel-cell based CHP
system is providing television studios in Los
Angeles, California, with secure power and
thermal energy while lowering costs and
cutting emissions.
In 2012 CBS Studios chose Connecticut-
based UTC Power to install six of its
PureCell stationary fuel cell systems at two
of its production locations.
At CBSs Studio Center are 18 sound
stages and offce space. The 2.4 MW
PureCell system there can satisfy 40%
of the television broadcasters electricity
requirements. At the other location, CBS
Television City, a similar system provides
enough power for 60% of the electricity
needs of the eight sound stages plus offce
space there.
The fuel cell systems also provide
thermal energy to cool both studios and, at
the Television City site, space heating and
domestic hot water.
In addition the fuel cells offer a measure
of grid independence, providing critical
power backup during blackouts, natural
disasters and man-made emergencies.
Savings of CO
2
emissions from the two
systems total 2370 tonnes annually, the
equivalent of planting nearly 223 hectares
of trees. Compared with a conventional
power plant, their NOx reductions are
equal to the environmental benefts of
removing more than 357 cars from the
road. The PureCell systems will also enable
CBS to save more than 11 million litres of
water annually, enough to fll four and a half
Olympic swimming pools.
Fuel cells are a great ft for our business
and sustainability goals, said Michael
Klausman, president of CBS Studio Centre
& senior vice president of operations at
CBS Television City.
The project received funding from
Californias Self-Generation Incentive
Program.
UTC Power says it has designed,
manufactured and installed more than 300
stationary fuel cells in 19 countries on six
continents.
The studios are used by CBS and other
media outlets and produce many of todays
top shows.
GREENING PHILADELPHIA
A 163 MW CHP plant is at the heart of the
renewal of a district heating system that is
helping to provide a cleaner environment
in Philadelphia.
Early 2013 saw Veolia Energy North
America complete a $$60 million upgrade
to its Philadelphia district energy network,
which includes the CHP plant, three steam
production facilities and one chilled water
facility to serve more than 500 buildings.
It is the USs third largest district energy
system.
The changes will reduce Philadelphias
carbon footprint, improve the long-term
cost competitiveness of the network and
support the citys growing central business
and university city districts.
Veolia installed two new rapid-response
boilers and expanded its natural gas
pipeline for the system, which produces
what Veolia calls Green Steam and will
reduce the carbon footprint of the city by
70,000 tonnes each year.
Veolia Energy says the Green Steam
project:
increases Philadelphias competiveness
as the upgrades will maintain the networks
reliability while serving as a cost-compet-
itive solution to the citys growing central
business and university city districts, which
include several renowned universities and
medical facilities;
reduces Philadelphias carbon footprint
as the upgrades combined with Veolia
Energys CHP capability will reduce green-
house gas emissions by 430,000 tonnes per
year, the equivalent of removing 70,000
cars from the streets annually; and
improves air quality as the improvements
will reduce NOx emissions by 20% and
sulphur dioxide by nearly 93%.
City offcials see the project as key
to the larger Greenworks strategy, a set
of 15 sustainability goals for energy,
the environment, equity, economy and
engagement.
Using Greenworks Philadelphia as our
guide, the city of Philadelphia is committed
to become the greenest city in the United
States in 2015, said Mayor Michael Nutter.
The completion of this project marks an
important step forward in the achievement
of our Greenworks goal of reducing
greenhouse gas emissions by 20%.
Philadelphia has shown true dedication
and leadership by embracing renewable
and energy effciency solutions that
will beneft the entire community, said
William DiCroce, president and CEO of
Veolia Energy North America. Green
Steam delivered via our district energy
network is an extremely effcient solution
that will provide signifcant economic and
environmental benefts to Philadelphia
businesses and residents for many years to
come.
Veolia Energy North America operates
and maintains the largest portfolio of
effcient district energy networks in North
America.
DATA CENTRE GOES OFF-GRID
Reliability, reduced emissions and lower
costs are what Capstone claims its micro-
turbines are providing at the University of
Toledo, where the colleges data centre is
receiving power and cooling entirely from
a CHP system.
Four C65 Hybrid UPS Microturbines form
the heart of the system, which also provides
heating and allows excess electricity to be
fed back into the campus grid and nearby
recreational facility.
Natural gas fuels the units, which
produce electricity for the data centre and
the recreational facility. The exhaust heat
supplies hot water to heat a neighbouring
facility and 100 tonnes of chilled water to
cool the data centre.
The system has a UPS rating of 320 kVA
and a power rating of 260 kW.
The modular mission-critical power
system will deliver uninterrupted power
with an expected overall system effciency
of 85%90%.
This reduces energy and fuel
consumption, emissions and energy costs.
Expectations are that the system will
27
CHP
reduce data centre power consumption by
50% and carbon emissions by more than
50% when compared with a grid-powered
data centre.
Capstone says its Hybrid UPS system
will replace the data centres existing
backup generator and increase the facilitys
reliability by not relying on utility power at
all to operate.
Toledo is the frst on-site power facility
to integrate low emission microturbines
with a dual-conversion uninterruptable
power supply (UPS) to provide electricity
for mission-critical loads.
It follows a project at Syracuse University
in New York that saw Capstone Hybrid
UPS MicroTurbines installed in 2009. Here
natural gas fuels the scheme, which forms
part of an on-site tri-generation system that
powers the educational establishments
data centre and cools computer servers.
Capstone says Toledo and Syracuse
were the frst two colleges in the US to
implement the companys Hybrid UPS
Microturbine technology.
PERFORMANCE CONTRACTS
North Carolina State University began
operating an 11 MW CHP facility in
September 2012 that is expected to
generate $4.3 million of energy savings in
the frst year of operation.
The facility, which services about 740,000
m2 of campus building space, is part of the
renovation of the universitys Cates utility
plant and has increased the effciency of
energy generation there by roughly 35%. It
is also expected to reduce the universitys
greenhouse gas emissions by 8%, building
on a 7% reduction from 2008 to 2010 and
moving the university closer to its goal of
climate neutrality by 2050.
Following eight years of planning, the
renovation began in January 2011 as a
$61 million performance contract with
Massachusetts-based Ameresco, which
guaranteed $4.3 million of energy savings
in the frst year.
The facility will pay for itself through
energy savings over 17 years, without using
any additional state funding.
Two natural gas-fred 5.5 MW
combustion turbines and two 22,700 kg/hr
heat recovery steam generators replaced
aging boilers that had served the campus
for more than 50 years.
In addition to offering energy savings
and increased sustainability, the facility also
serves as a resource for teaching students
about energy effcient technologies.
Rob Thornton, president and CEO of the
International District Energy Association,
said the investment at the university is an
important step toward the governments
goal to add 40 GW of CHP capacity in the
US by 2020.
CHP TO RETIREES
Duncaster retirement community in
Bloomfeld, Connecticut, is the frst project
in the state to use the Connecticut EIA
incentive funding, in this case to install a
150 kW distributed CHP system at its Caleb
Hitchcock Health Center.
The 35 hectare neighbourhood won the
fnancial support for the CHP system at its

28
CHP
continuing care facility through the states
Energy Independence Act.
The facility will have payback in less
than three years, thanks to the state
incentives, said Rick DiFazio, key accounts
manager at Connecticut Natural Gas.
The units will provide the facilitys energy
managers with the fexibility to use
different operating modes to meet specifc
energy requirements without incurring high
electricity demand charges.
Massachusetts-based AEGIS Energy
Services installed the CHP system, which
uses recovered heat from its two high-
effciency natural gas fred AEGEN 75 kW
cogeneration modules meets the thermal
demand for the centres requirements for
domestic hot water and space heating.
Duncasters power planners have placed
an additional order to install another
150 kW unit for use in the main
administrative building.
Quick payback on rink CHP
For us, energy effciency means signifcant
cost savings, said Alfredo Kenig, systems
administrator at the Massachusetts-based
New England Sports Centre (NESC), which
is often used for training and sporting
events by professional and Olympic
skaters.
His facility, which houses more ice skating
surface than any other in New England, has
installed CHP units that have doubled the
amount of energy the centre extracts from
its fuel.
In 2011 the centre installed its third
Tecogen CM-75 CHP unit to raise on-site
power generation capabilities from the
150 kW produced by two Tecogen CM-75
units to 225 kW.
The facility estimates that the
cogeneration equipments provision of
hot water and electricity annually saves
$80,000 from operations.
Another $50,000 of savings comes yearly
from energy effciency credits, which are
validated by a metering and monitoring
system that the centre has also had
installed. Utilities and competitive power
suppliers in Massachusetts buy the credits
to meet their state effciency mandates.
The centre had explored alternative
energy solutions such as wind and solar
but determined that the current system
made the most sense technically and had
the quickest payback period, less than two
years.
Conventional gas boilers used to provide
the centres hot water, and the facility
previously bought all of its electricity from
local utility National Grid.
Modular design of the units was another
important feature of the system for the
sports centre. A multiplicity of units allows
individual generators to be turned on or off
as load demands, maximising effciency.
Mr Kenig added that the manufacturer
services them out of sight and out of mind
of the facility.
The CHP units are integrated with a
fully automated Siemens control system
that manages the entire facility. Operation
of these units can be monitored from
anywhere in the world by simply logging
on to a monitoring programme, developed
by their manufacturer, that communicates
directly with the units.
American DG Energy handled the
installation and provided the centre with
engineering, consultation and design
services for its energy metering and
monitoring system.
Apartments get their own power plant
A micro-CHP application has brought the
power plant directly to the consumer.
A New York apartment buildings use
of the system has saved almost $13,000
in building energy costs and has reduced
annual CO
2
emissions equivalent to those
of almost four average US homes, or some
41,000 kg.
The Melrose Five Project, a 63-unit
building in the Bronx area of the city,
is using two micro-CHP systems from
Marathon Engine Systems. Each provides
domestic hot water heating and 4.7 kWh
of power.
At the end of one year, the micro-
CHP generated 74,100 kWh of power
for common areas, or 87% of common
area electricity demand. It also supplied
574 MBtu of hot water heating and
supplemented building space heating by
25% of total building heating needs.
The application uses a long-life engine,
which Marathon Engine Systems says has
built-in microcontrollers to supervise the
energy output with advanced software
called Ecopower. This anticipates daily
energy needs and changes output in as
little as seconds to meet unscheduled
energy requirements.
Assistance for development of the
micro-CHP system came from the New York
State Energy Research and Development
Authority.
This technology has been used for years
in Europe and Japan but has seen few
applications in the US market.

CHP
A
s the use of the technology
continues to expand globally,
which international markets
offer good prospects for US CHP
in 2013?
There are several, and among the many
US companies fnding ready markets for
their equipment and services abroad are
Capstone, Caterpillar, ClearEdge Power,
Cummins, Encon, GE, Johnson Controls,
UTC Power and Veolia.
Helping them is the nations frst drive
to systematically work on exporting green
energy. A strategy launched in 2010 by the
Obama administration continues to seek
new export opportunities for renewable
energy and energy effciency, including
those that encompass CHP.
Starting with the Middle East, after a
few years of correction the region is begin-
ning to show signs of growth, particularly
for systems that include district cooling,
according to Rob Thornton, president of the
International District Energy Association.
Activity is also heightening in the Pacifc
Rim, as China installs more and more CHP
to tackle its air quality problems.
In Australia, for example, the cities of
Melbourne and Sydney are looking to
CHP as a way to move away from coal-
fred generation and avoid the cost of
transmission expansion. The New South
Wales government has identifed several
opportunities for small-scale CHP fred
by gas and CHP that is fuelled by biogas
or by plant waste from sugar or cotton
harvesting.
And in Europe, Germany exhibits
increasing recognition and policy support
for CHP and district energy.
South Africa could also represent an
emerging opportunity. In 2012 the Export-
Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im
Bank) and the Industrial Development
Corp of South Africa signed a declaration
of intent to help advance the South African
governments Integrated Resource Plan
and the South African Renewable Initiative.
Ex-Im Bank will assist with up to $2 billion
in fnancing for US clean energy goods for
South Africas energy sector.
Connecticut frm Norwalk Compressor is
an example of a US energy company fulfll-
ing export orders with the help of Ex-Im
Bank.
The company designs, manufactures
and feld tests its reciprocating gas
compressors for chemical, cogeneration,
fuels, industrial, off-shore, oil-feld, petro-
chemical and refnery facilities.
Since 1996 it has relied on Ex-Im
Banks working capital loan guarantee for
its export sales and fnancing has
totalled $4.5 million over the last three
years.
The US Commercial Service also offers
extensive assistance to US frms interested
in exporting (see www.export.gov/cs).
REAL WORLD EXAMPLES
Offcials responsible for the Yarmarka
Shopping Centre in Ukhta, Russia, chose
a CHP system for the new malls energy
source because it halved energy bills
compared with what utilities were charging.
An added bonus was that the system
would allow for a gradual increase in power
output as the new mall expanded and
energy demand grew, thus reducing future
capital investments.
Alexander Yasyulya, chief engineer of the
facility, said that in addition to allowing it to
Credit: Capstone
31
CHP
reduce initial and long-term capital costs,
the CHP systems micro-turbines need little
maintenance nor require personnel on-site
24/7. He says they are highly automated
and have remote control capabilities. The
micro-turbines do not need oil and cool-
ants for operation and consequently we
eliminated the need to replenish oil and
dispose of such engine wastes, he added.
Three Capstone C65 micro-turbines run
quietly under the shopping malls offce
building. Seven additional C65s and one
C1000 are housed in a specially-designed
building alongside the mall. Together, the
11 natural gas micro-turbines run around
the clock, providing all the power and heat
required by the 30,000 m
2
fve-level shop-
ping mall and accompanying warehouse.
No power is drawn from a utility.
ACTIVITY IS
HEIGHTENING IN
THE PACIFIC RIM AS

MORE AND MORE
CHP TO TACKLE
ITS AIR QUALITY
PROBLEMS
Heat recovery modules capture exhaust
heat from the micro-turbines to heat the
building and domestic water. Total effcien-
cy of the CHP system can reach 90%, which
meets strict government guidelines that
require the effciency of all heat-generating
facilities to be 70% or better.
The micro-turbines low emissions,
absence of vibration and low noise allowed
the power system to be installed next to
the busy mall.
Each C1000 comprises fve 200 kW
micro-turbines, which gives the system a
redundancy that allows separate C200s to
be placed out of service for routine main-
tenance without shutting down the plant.
This ensures round-the-clock, reliable
power.
Installation of the system as a whole
occurred in three stages from 20082011.
Payback on the frst three C65 micro-
turbines installed in 2008 was 2.5 years.
Expected payback of the C1000 and seven
additional C65 micro-turbines is fve years.
The reliability of the micro-turbines save
maintenance and labour costs because
operational staff are not needed around
the clock.
This energy independence allows the
mall an economic focal point in Ukhta
to focus on supporting the economy of the
growing city.
UNIVERSITY COSTS CUT
Macquarie University in New South Wales
faced a common problem. A 30-year-old
chiller running its librarys air-conditioning
system needed to be replaced with one
that used a more modern refrigerant.
An examination by the university of the
cost of cogeneration showed that it could
shave AUS$20 million (US$21 million) off
the educational facilitys energy bill over
23 years. Macquaries many large build-
ings and sports facilities require electricity,
hot water and space heating and cooling,
for which a cogeneration plant was viable,
according to a study that the university
commissioned from MPI Consultancy.
The university has installed two 760
kW gas-fred engine generator sets that
provide electricity for general use. The
waste heat powers the absorption chiller,
which provides cold water for cooling. Heat
produced by the system is captured and
available for use elsewhere in the univer-
sity. Extra heat is used to heat the swim-
ming pool, domestic hot water and space
heating systems.
ECONOMICS
The systems cost of AUS$6.7 million has a
payback period of six years. Finance came
from the university with the assistance of
a grant and a no-interest loan from the
Sustainable Energy Development Authority
(SEDA), the NSW government authority set
up to provide fnancial and technical assis-
tance for those investing in the use and
commercialisation of renewable energy.
SEDA provides feasibility studies and some
project investment for potential new sites.
The life expectation of the CHP system
is 50 years, with a major reft in 25 years.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICS
V16 Caterpillar gas fred generator sets
provide 760 kW of power.
Waste heat drives a 1230 kW York
absorption chiller.
Chilled water is stored in a 1250 m
3

Encon Tank to provide cooling energy
during periods of high demand.
This confguration is the only known
example of a system using cogeneration
waste heat for absorption cooling, conden-
sate heat recovery and chilled water stor-
age in a single system.
The cogeneration system provides greater
reliability of energy supply; $20 million
savings over 23 years; more fexibility in
how buildings are run; and CO

C
HP has been around for some
time. The worlds frst commercial
power plant Thomas Edisons
Pearl Street Station in the city
of New York used the technology in the
late 19th century. Today, CHP continues to
advance and provide energy consumers
various benefts.
Recognising the advantages of CHP, the
federal government infused the industry
with money in 2009 through the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act, also
known as the US stimulus package. With
that money now dispersed and the federal
government struggling to reduce spend-
ing, the industry expects little in the way of
new federal incentives in 2013-2014.
However, Congress is considering
legal changes that would allow CHP to
participate in a corporate structure that
has benefted other energy industries for
many years. Known as the master limited
partnership, or MLP, the legal entity trades
its stock like a corporation but receives the
tax benefts of a partnership. Backers of the
approach say it would attract new capital to
CHP projects. An oil company formed the
frst MLP in 1981, the precursor to about
100 that trade today on major exchanges,
says the National Association of Publicly
Traded Partnerships.
To participate in an MLP, a resource
must be depletable, to use a term of the
language of the US tax code. So most of
todays MLPs focus on gathering, process-
ing and transporting fossil fuels. MLPs have
attracted US$350 billion in capital to those
companies, according to a white paper
issued by Senator Chris Coons, a Democrat
from Delaware.
Coons and Kansas Republican Senator
Jerry Moran have together introduced a
bill into Congress which would allow CHP
and renewable energy to participate in
the partnerships. CHP supporters say the
Master Limited Partnerships Parity Act
would offer strong benefts to the industry.
The CHP industry would have more
clarity and confdence in terms of cost of
capital, said Rob Thornton, president and
CEO of the International District Energy
Association. We think it would provide
private capital that could be leveraged with
either clean energy development block
grants, municipal bonds or other sources.
Prospects appear good for passage of
the bill, given its bipartisan support, say
CHP advocates. It may pass in 2014 if not
in 2013 and is being pushed by not only
the CHP industry, but also wind, solar and
biofuel supporters.
Some Congressional observers say the
bill may bring together the odd bedfellows
of the renewable energy and the fossil
fuel industries. A movement is afoot in
Washington, DC to cut subsidies to fossil
fuels, an idea supported by President
Barack Obama. This could jeopardise the
MLP since it boosts fossil fuels through
tax advantages. Changing the MLP
requirements to include renewable energy
may discourage any attempt by lawmakers
to curtail the MLP, given the vast popularity
of renewables among US voters. Therefore
the oil and gas industry may be inclined to
accept formation of MLPs by renewable
energy companies. Inclusion of renewable
energy in the MLP might immunise the
structure, said Marc Spitzer, a former
federal energy regulatory commissioner
and now a partner at law frm Steptoe &
Johnson.
If the renewable people would stop
Congress from repealing it for oil and gas,
they might like it, Spitzer said. I could
make an argument that they [oil and gas]
would tacitly support it. It may immunise
a provision of the tax code that has been
very benefcial in expanding oil and gas
infrastructure in the US.
TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES
Meanwhile at the technology front, the
CHP industry continues to achieve higher
effciencies, incorporate renewable energy
and make other advances with state, feder-
al and private funding.
Californias Gas Technology Institute
(GTI) is developing CHP and waste recov-
ery technologies with the aim of meeting
the states air emissions standards and
reducing costs. GTI has won $3.5 million
from the California Energy Commission
(CEC) for the projects. Out of this amount
GTI will use $1.8 million for a new fuel-
fexible hybrid CHP plant that uses natural
gas and biogas from anaerobic digesters
at wastewater treatment plants and land-
flls to produce heat and power on-site.
The system must meet the California Air
Resources Board 2007 emission standards
in a cost-effective way.
The idea is to overcome the signifcant
capital costs to meet the standards
34
CHP
at facilities like the San Bernardino
Water Reclamation Plant, where the
demonstration project will be installed.
The system will integrate a partial oxidation
gas turbine with a reciprocating internal
combustion engine.
Matching funds of $887,000 will come
from the City of San Bernardino and other
GTI partners, including Southern California
Gas. GTI expects to complete the project
in March 2015.
With a second $1.73 million CEC grant
GTI will demonstrate conversion into elec-
tricity of waste heat from exhaust gases
at temperatures as high as 480C-plus in
an average-sized industrial furnace. GTI is
trying to create a frst-of-its-kind cost-effec-
tive heat recovery system that converts
waste heat in such cases into electricity by
employing heated water to drive an organ-
ic Rankine cycle engine generator.
The host for the project is Shultz Steel
Company in South Gate, California, which
manufactures steel, titanium and nickel-
based alloys, and forged aluminium for
aerospace and industry. GTI will work with
SoCalGas and N2 Energy Solutions on
the project, which it hopes to complete in
October 2014.
Separately the federal Advanced
Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E)
has granted $1.35 million to Caltech, which
is developing a distributed automation
system that allows CHP, solar and other
distributed generators to more effectively
manage their own power. The project tries
to solve a problem that exists for distribut-
ed automation systems a lack of software
that can handle more than 100,000 distrib-
uted generators and be implemented in
real time.
Caltech says software developed
through this project could allow millions of
generators to self-manage through local
sensing, computation and communication.
Having an automated, grid-wide power
control system would make it easier to
integrate distributed generation into
the grid. If the project is successful it will
allow power to be controlled at individual
endpoints with real-time information on
energy supply and demand. Movement
of power across the grid will then be more
effcient, according to Caltech.
And in Colorado, Cool Energy reported
success in late 2012 with new waste heat
recovery technology that it says can boost
the fuel effciency of engines and fossil fuel
use by 10%.
The Stirling engine system captures the
exhaust energy of an internal combustion
engine and converts it into power with no
extra carbon emissions.
The company demonstrated the tech-
nology with its 3 kW SolarHeart Engine
system connected to a standard 30 kW
diesel generator to produce additional
electricity from waste heat that would
otherwise be lost.
Cool Energy says it has achieved a 22%
effciency in heat to electricity conversion,
which amounts to 10% in fuel savings when
applied to distributed generators. The
technology leap offers a particular advan-
tage to military operations and remote
areas, such as islands, which rely on diesel
generators, according to Cool Energy.
Several demonstration projects are
also underway with funding from the US
Department of Energy. For example, a
$1.2 million data centre demonstration
project in Illinois at the Great Lakes Center
for Energy Smart Communities uses an
advanced single-stage lithium bromide
absorption chiller module designed to
use low-temperature waste heat from
clean and effcient natural gas engines.
The project claims that using just 100
MW of advanced CHP power and cooling
modules at new data centres would save
17.3 Btu and 2.3 million tonnes of CO2 per
year. The technology is being tested over
three years; the team expects to fnish the
project in 2014. Participants are EXERGY
Partners, D.E.N.T., the Great Lakes Center
for Energy Smart Communities, Hewlett
Packards EYP Mission Critical Facilities,
General Electric, Integrated CHP Systems
and Carrier Corporation.
Another demonstration project is
Capstone Turbines $17 million project to
develop a more effcient micro-turbine
CHP system with an electrical effciency of
42% and output of 370 kW. The company
has won $5 million from the DOE to help
fund the scheme.
The new turbine, called C370, combines
with an integrated heat recovery system to
provide a total system effciency of 85%.
Capstone hopes to have 2700 C370 units
installed by 2020, which would total about
1 GW. This would reduce fuel consumption
by 526 therms/year, NOx by 8.8 tonnes/
year and CO2 by 2.8 million tonnes/year.
