Environmental

For any given CHP plant and operating pattern, annual energy consumption/production can be used as the basis for calculating reductions in primary energy consumption and emissions that arise from the installation and operation of the CHP unit.

The main environmental issues, including current legislation, relevant atmospheric emissions data, and the environmental aspects of CHP installation and meeting environmental requirements are discussed in the linked sections.

UK Heatmap

The UK Heat Map

The UK heat map has been developed as a tool aimed at assisting power station developers consider the opportunities for combined heat and power (CHP) as required under planning policy. However it can also be used by both small and large organisations to help identify the locations where CHP, renewable heat plants and district heating would have the greatest technical and economic potential, and therefore the largest positive environmental impact.
