LOWER OPERATING COSTS AND LOWER EMISSIONS WITH COGENERATION
Cat® gas generator sets can simultaneously provide electricity for electrical loads and heat energy for a facility's thermal requirements. Any Cat natural gas-fueled engine can be configured specifically for applications involving heat recovery.
WHERE GRID ELECTRICITY AND NATURAL GAS BOILERS OFTEN PROVIDE LESS THAN 50 PERCENT EFFICIENCY, CAT® COMBINED HEAT AND POWER (CHP) PROJECTS OFFER ADDITIONAL BENEFITS:
Energy efficiency up to 90 percent
Cheaper relative to separate heat and electrical generation systems
Lower emissions than separate heat and electrical generation systems
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification available via energy efficiency credits
