The Carnot-Method for Allocation of Fuel and Emissions

摘要

Highly efficient combined heat and power (CHP) is a technology which can help to significantly reduce carbon emissions and fuel consumption at a low cost. However, decision makers need reliable information on the exact degree of these reductions in order to correctly assess cost-benefit ratios and make an informed decision. The Carnot-Method is a physically comprehensive, simple and tested allocation method for reaching this aim.
