Abstract

Small-scale combined heat-and-power (CHP) systems are cheaper and environmentally cleaner than conventional generators and deserve to be supported by the UK electricity industry, even when privatised. A feasibility assessment for the rate of CO2 emissions from a mini-packaged CHP unit, serving a high-rise block of 126 flats, is presented. Predictions were compared with those when [`]dirty' generated electricity was consumed; the heating demand for the building being met via a central boiler or individual boilers or electric heaters.
