Urban transport is responsible for about a quarter of CO2 emissions from transport. Technomar partnered this EU co-funded project on how to make urban transport more environmentally sustainable by wide deployment of Full-Electric Vehicles (FEV). This is the summary report covering interaction between FEV, transport- and energy infrastructure (smart grid). It also includes strategies for trip…

Royal Pride Holland is using the J624 GS engines to power the greenhouse's new cogeneration plant. Some of the power generated is used for lighting for the tomatoes, but most is supplied to the public power grid. Because the waste heat from the engines can be used at very low temperatures, and the CO2 in its exhaust gas can also be used, the overall level of efficiency is 95 percent.

Heat pumps are considered large if they exceed capacities of 100kW. They can easily reach the one to several megawatt range with the largest units providing 35MW in a single machine. Currently…
Read Full articleCHP: 3 primary criteria for successfull cogeneration projects in power plants
On world average only 9% of electricity production comes from cogeneration or CHP. However, some countries are well above. For instance, Denmark has more than 60%. Cogeneration can not only deliver economic benefits but also environmental ones (avoiding CO2 emissions). If that is the case, why are not more countries reaching the level of Denmark? This paper describes the three main criteria which…
