Abstract

An analysis of the service life of decentral dual-purpose cogeneration plants in order to compare the global and environmental effects of establishing various types of plants. The method was to evaluate the energy consumption, occupational environment, resource consumption, emission, and the production and transport of fuels, in addition to the operation and performance of the various plants. This method is described in detail. The conclusion is that the indirect energy consumption for decentral cogeneration plants constitutes only a small part of the total energy consumption throughout the service life of the plant. The acquisition of the fuel does involve a significant consumption of energy. The plants analysed contribute equally to the greenhouse effect. It is suggested that this is due to the fact that the plants with a high electric power efficiency (and thus less carbon dioxide emission) use fossil fuels (which otherwise give a high emission of carbon dioxide) and that plants with a lower grade of electric power efficiency, which give out more carbon dioxide, use fuels the use of which does not usually result in the emission of carbon dioxide. Graphs and tables of data illustrate the text. (AB) 51 refs.
