  1. Energy Efficiency:Developments in Combined Heat and Power Glenn Mauney, Southern Alliance for Clean Energy Clean Energy Now October 8, 2010

  2. Combined Heat & Power CHP

  3. Combined Heat & Power Or, Co-Generation is the concurrent production of electricity or mechanical power and useful thermal energy (heating and/or cooling) from a single source of energy. Distributed generation located at or near the point of use. Although, some models sell direct to grid.

  4. Combined Heat & Power CHP is a clean energy technology with fuel efficiencies that can reach 90%. Electric only generation is usually around 35%

  5. Combined Heat & Power More work done with less fuel means fewer emissions

  6. Combined Heat & Power • Retire old, in-efficient generation, avoid building many more. • Doubling CHP by 2030 would add 1 million new jobs and reduce carbon emissions the equivalent of taking 154 million cars off the road.

  7. Federal Policy If you think the problems they create are bad, wait till you see their solutions.

  8. North Carolina Policy • 35% CHP and Renewable Energy InstallationTaxCredit • 25 % Manufacturers Tax Credit • Energy Policy Council

  9. Combined Heat & Power What has current policy accomplished? • About 85 GW installed Nationwide • 10 % of Generation • Potential for 240 GW by 2030 Source: ACEEE, North Carolina’s Energy Future

  10. CHP in North Carolina • About 1,504 MW installed in North Carolina • Potential for 7,700 MW by 2030 Source: ACEEE, North Carolina’s Energy Future

  11. Key Barriers to CHP • Uncertainty related to technical and procedural interconnection to utility • Unfavorable utility tariffs related to supplemental, standby and backup power • Uncertainty associated with air quality permitting • Uncertainty of project’s economics

  12. Looking Ahead • Federal ITC will be available through 2016 • NC Tax Credit through 2016 • NC EPC considering CHP as part of EERS, along with other energy efficiency programs • Potential for inclusion in Federal Climate Legislation

  13. About SACE Thank you for your time and attention! Glenn Mauney Energy Policy Manager Southern Alliance for Clean Energy glenn@cleanenergy.org blog.cleanenergy.org • Southern Alliance for Clean Energy is celebrating 25 years as a leading advocate for clean, responsible energy choices. • Looking to the future, SACE is even more committed to the preservation, restoration and protection of our environment.
