International Collaborative to Advance CHP/DHC

摘要

The average global efficiency of fossil-fueled power generation has remained stagnant for decades at 35 to 37%. The easiest and most attractive strategy for improving energy supply efficiency is to increase investment in highly efficient combined heat and power and district heating and cooling systems. To address the current gap in knowledge about global CHP/DHC data trends, potential (and associated benefits), and lack of knowledge about proven policies and approaches, the IEA launched the International CHP/DHC Collaborative in early 2007.
