a groundbreaking combined heat + Power system
In collabortion with the University of British Columbia, we have successfully completed an energy-from-renewable-waste combined heat and power (CHP) system located at the Vancouver campus.
This is North America’s first commercial demonstration of a transformative system that combines our gasification and syngas conditioning technologies with one of GE’s high-efficient Jenbacher internal combustion engines. The engine produces 2 MW (megawatts) of clean, renewable electricity and generates 3 MW of thermal energy to heat the campus.
