The product-intensive production in all sectors of industry produces the desire for a particularly efficient form of energy conversion, since both electricity and useful heat are produced. To work concurrently environmentally friendly and energy efficient, the use of heat and power coupling for the process of heat generation is useful. The CHP shifts the electricity generation by the decentralization of generation plants to places with continuous heat demand. In the long term the increased use of CHP-units in the industry leads to a reduction of CO2 emissions, protects the environment and reduces energy costs.
