Industrial cogeneration: Problems and promise

Abstract

Considerable potential for industrial cogeneration of electricity and process heat is currently available in the U.S. A number of prime mover technologies suitable for application in cogeneration facilities are already technically proven in other conventional systems. Industries with particularly attractive opportunities include paper and pulp, chemical, petroleum refining, iron and steel, and cement manufacturers. The apparent technical potential is limited significantly by economic, environmental, and regulatory factors, as well as by the need for new dimensions in industry and utility cooperation. Although substantial societal benefits in the form of energy conservation are available from a strong commitment to industrial cogeneration systems, many obstacles to systems deployment remain, which will not be readily overcome without the adoption of policy incentives.
