Greetings!
You may be interested in the attached report which was published by the International Energy Agency and which outlines the strong synergies between cogeneration, renewables and also heat.
IEA - cogeneration and renewables report The report outlines how cogeneration complements the increasing presence of renewables in the global energy mix and can help balance the intermittent nature of renewable power sources such as wind and solar. Why read this paper? - It stresses the low-carbon benefits of both cogeneration and renewables as stand-alone technologies.
- It demonstrates how, taken together, renewables and cogeneration make a strong case for low-carbon energy solutions, by paying attention to:
- The 'double low-carbon benefit' of using renewable energy in cogeneration mode.
- The potential of cogeneration to contribute to lowering the carbon footprint associated with balancing variable renewable electricity generation.
- It explains the need for more attention for the topic of heat in the energy debate. Heat represents 47% of total final energy consumption globally.
- It supports the implementation of appropriate policy incentives for both cogeneration and renewables.
Sincerely,  Jan Buijk
