Reusing Heat: Scope for cogeneration and trigeneration in India

At the 26th Conference of the Parties (CoP) that took place in 2021, India committed to reducing the energy intensity of its economy by 33-35 per cent in 2030 compared the 2005 levels. Cogeneration and trigeneration are technologies that can help improve energy efficiency and reduce the energy intensity of the economy as they raise the ca­pa­city utilisation of the plant by 30-35 per cent. These two technologies harness the thermodynamic heat loss that occurs during the operation of a th­ermal power plant for applications such as heat, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC). These technologies retransmit the residual heat to households and commercial businesses requiring heat such as steel units, brick kilns and smelting plants. This process raises the overall efficiency of the power plant up to 80-85 per cent, while providing an alternative source of revenue for the generating company.
