Biogas Cogeneration

Electricity and heat cogeneration of biogas

Cogeneration is the production of electricity and heat out of biogas. The cogeneration module consists of an engine which actuates an alternator - generator of electric current. Un groupe de cogénération possède un rendement électrique de 35%.   The recovery of heat makes it possible to reach a total output of 85% if all produced heat is used. Two types of engine can be used: Gas engine: runs only on biogas,  high investment and maintenance costs  Dual fuel engine: - the injection of a minor amount of fuel (10% of the power consumption), is used to ignite the mixture air/biogas. This type of engine is expensive in investment but generates purchase expenses of purchase and fuel storage expenses. The electric output is better than for a gas engine especially for small powers
