Generating electricity and heat locally – directly at the point of consumption – saves energy by allowing optimum adjustment to demand and by avoiding transmission losses. But more than that, when heat and power is produced by a gas-fueled modular CHP plant supplied by MTU Onsite Energy, 50% less carbon dioxide is released than when that energy is generated by conventional means (oil-fired heating and electricity from a coal-fired power station). Saving primary energy, reducing harmful emissions and maximizing economy – these are all reasons for choosing our gas engine energy solutions. They have been in reliable use by local energy suppliers, electricity generating companies, public authorities, industrial and commercial enterprises, the food industry, hotels and even in monasteries for a considerable time already. In public swimming pools, sports and leisure centers, hospitals and spas, schools, barracks, broadcast stations and many other public buildings, MTU Onsite Energy CHP plants generate electricity and a guaranteed supply of heat at the same time.
