Welcome to the Website of the "CHP goes Green" Project
The project "CHP goes Green" promotes an increased use of renewable energy sources (RES) whilst bettering its efficiency by using combined heat and power solutions (CHP) . The advantage of the use of biomass in cogeneration is self-evident, as it allows highest efficiency combined with an increase of renewables' share. Combined heat and power equipment fuelled by RES is not yet widely spread and implemented.
The combination of RES and CHP is a key approach to reach the ambitious EU climate protection targets. Pushing “Green CHP” and the respective technical solutions into the markets will overcome the actual separate – and sometimes even competitive – development of CHP and RES market.
To promote and install "Green CHP" and the respective technical solutions is the target for the selected model cities involved in the CHP goes Green project: Berlin, Frankfurt/Main, Hannover, Graz, Prague, Riga, Lyon and Paris. COGEN Europe is responsible for European-wide diffusion tasks. The project “CHP goes Green” is funded by the European program “Intelligent Energy Europe”. The project is coordinated by the Berliner Energieagentur.
