What is How good is the CO2 balance of a CHP unit??

Cogeneration saves primary energy and CO2 compared to separate electricity and heat generation; biogas CHP units using biogenic gas achieve a nearly CO2-neutral balance — it is crucial that the generated heat actually replaces fossil heat generation.

What the AI reads from these values

What the AI reads
  • Proportion of biogenic gas (Crucial for CO2 neutrality)
  • Efficiency level of heat recovery (displacement of fossil fuels)
  • Real-time measured value of the exhaust gas temperature (indicator for combustion efficiency)
  • Difference to primary energy saving (quantification of environmental benefit)
Scenario

Monitored: continuous

The scenario: An emission value creeps slowly upwards, only noticed during the official measurement, in the worst case resulting in operational restrictions. The AI: detects the trend towards the limit value early and reports the need for action before the measurement occurs. It detects the trend before the limit value is exceeded.

Why this matters

The substitution of fossil heat sources by CHP unit heat reduces direct CO2 emissions and lowers costs for fuel procurement. By using biogenic gases, a nearly CO2-neutral balance is achieved. The targeted utilization of waste heat minimises the specific CO2 footprint per kilowatt-hour generated. Measured value (mg/m³) · Limit value (mg/m³) → — % reserve to limit value Calculation path: (Limit value − Measured value) ÷ Limit value × 100
