Veolia (Cogenco) Combined Heat & Power: A Sustainable Solution for Your Energy Needs
Veolia is a global leader in environmental services, providing innovative solutions to help businesses and communities manage their waste, water, and energy resources. One of its key offerings is combined heat and power (CHP), which provides a cost-effective, reliable, and low-carbon supply of electricity and heat.
CHP is a highly efficient way of generating energy that uses natural gas or other fuels to produce both electricity and heat simultaneously. This means that the waste heat produced during the generation process can be captured and used for heating buildings or producing hot water. By using CHP instead of separate systems for electricity generation and heating, businesses can reduce their energy costs by up to 40% while also reducing their carbon footprint.
Veolia's Cogenco division specializes in designing, building, operating, and maintaining CHP systems for a wide range of industries including healthcare facilities, universities, hotels, data centers, manufacturing plants as well as district heating schemes. With over 30 years' experience in the field of cogeneration Veolia has installed more than 1 GW capacity across Europe.
One example where Veolia's expertise has been applied is at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital where they have installed two CHP units with an electrical output capacity of 4 MW each. The system provides over half the hospital's annual electricity demand while also supplying hot water to meet its domestic needs.
Another example is at London Heathrow Airport where Veolia operates one of Europe’s largest airport-based cogeneration plants with an electrical output capacity equivalent to powering around 50k homes annually. The plant supplies both electricity & steam which are used on-site by Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL) helping them reduce their carbon emissions by around 13%.
Veolia's approach involves working closely with clients to understand their specific needs before designing bespoke solutions that are tailored to meet those requirements. This includes carrying out detailed feasibility studies, identifying the most appropriate technology and fuel source, and ensuring that the system is integrated seamlessly into existing infrastructure.
Veolia's Cogenco division also offers a range of other services including energy audits, maintenance contracts, and remote monitoring to ensure that systems are operating at peak efficiency. With a team of highly skilled engineers and technicians available 24/7 Veolia can provide rapid response times to any issues that may arise.
In conclusion, Veolia (Cogenco) Combined Heat & Power is an innovative solution for businesses looking to reduce their energy costs while also reducing their carbon footprint.
