Summary
COGEN Europe has launched a new study by Compass Lexecon that demonstrates combining power-to-heat technologies with cogeneration reduces fuel use compared with electrified configurations. This is achieved by avoiding indirect fuel use from grid electricity.
The study, Hybridised and Flexible Cogeneration, assessed hybrid CHP energy systems combined with power-to-heat, thermal storage and renewable energy solutions.
Specifically, it focused on five industrial and district heating use cases in Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and Romania, comparing CHP-based hybrid systems with non-CHP, mostly electrified alternatives over the period 2025–2040.
The analysis found that CHP complements electrification and renewables by reducing primary energy consumption, lowering emissions, supporting electricity grids and reducing energy costs.
