On the Road to Net Zero, Consider Cogeneration

On the Road to Net Zero, Consider Cogeneration

The path to net zero carbon emissions will be long and difficult. Regardless of the requirements laid down by climate scientists or by international treaties, the total elimination of fossil fuels in modern society will take decades, and getting there will involve some use of fossil fuels during the transition. Improved efficiency from every drop of fuel burned is a logical first step, and cogeneration, the use of fossil fuels to generate electricity plus process heat, may be a useful intermediate to alternate energy systems. It’s all about efficiency.
