Indirect benefits of cogeneration district heating

Book ·
OSTI ID:6382106
The use of 93/sup 0/C water, cogenerated at an electric power plant, for district heating is discussed. The economic feasibility and environmental effects are treated in detail, including construction labor and air quality studies. Economic attributes of geographic placement are treated and compared to grevious studies and other alternatives. Specifically, construction labor effects of district heating are compared to imported oil and three other coal-based supply operations. The same people (minorities) who would benefit from construction jobs on a district heating project will also be likely to benefit (after its completion) through improved air quality. 22 references.
