Heidelberg Officially Opens Cogeneration Plant at Press Manufacturing Facility

Cogeneration plant

A cogeneration plant is based on the principle of combined heat and power generation for simultaneous provision of electrical energy and heat. Plants of this kind are particularly energy efficient, because they require up to 40 percent less fuel/primary resources than for conventional, separate generation of power and heat. The (waste) heat is normally used directly on site or fed into a local heating grid there. This on-site power generation and usage relieves the pressure on public power grids.
