What Is Cogeneration?

An engine generator produces two sources of energy: electricity and heat.

While the electricity is used, the heat is typically unused and treated as waste (exhaust).

Cogeneration technology allows this waste heat to be re-used in boilers and dryers, saving a substantial amount of fuel. By producing both electrical and thermal energy at the same time, cogeneration technology produces more energy from a single fuel source.

This process is the best technology for energy conservation.
