Biomass Cogeneration System and Suppliers
What is biomass cogeneration/CHP
Combined heat and power (CHP) is a process that provides both heat and power on site in one single, highly efficient process. CHP generates electricity and as a by-product of the generation process, heat is produced. This heat can be used on site while using the power generated. In contrast, our traditional coal and gas power stations can loose up to two thirds of the heat produced. By generating the heat and power on site, CHP systems can achieve in excess of 80% efficiency.
Why biomass cogeneration
Biomass CHP can be a very useful technology for sites that have a constant demand for both heat and electricity, particularly when the site is off the mains gas grid and where biomass fuel is readily available.
The Incentives. With the government’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions, several schemes have been initiated to help bring renewable technology to the market. Most renewable technologies take advantage of one or two of the tariffs to help pay back the cost on the system. Biomass CHP can take advantage of all the schemes due to generating both renewable heat and power.
The use of biomass is classed as being ‘Carbon Neutral’ and therefore do not contribute to Global Warming. As trees grow, they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. When the wood is subsequently burnt, that same amount of Carbon is released back into the atmosphere and thus there is no net increase in Carbon and no impact on the environment. Compare this with the burning of fossil fuels such as oil and gas where the Carbon has been locked away for millions of years – until we burn it and release it.
Biomass is also a renewable energy. Trees are specifically grown to produce biomass fuel in sustainable forests that are constantly replanted as trees are felled. The fuel can be grown in many parts of the world and thus we are not dependant on the traditional fossil fuel sources. Waste wood from sawmills and manufacturers which may otherwise end up as landfill can also be used for the production of wood pellets.
