Assessment of CO2 reduction in tri-generation - Case studies
Résumé
Tri-generation is a simultaneous production of three types of energy carriers, usually power, heat and cold. This technology can assure a greater efficiency of fuel use, thus a lower level of CO2 emissions compare to separate production. The paper presents an analysis of several existing tri-generation plants with regard to CO2 emissions. The analysis focuses on determining the level of CO2 emissions for each plant and comparing it with the conventional separate production. The method used for calculating CO2 emissions proved that tri-generation provide a lower level of CO2 emissions compare to separate production.
