Combined Heat & Power for Industry

Industry CHP Case Study

by | Dec 2, 2021 | CASE STUDIES

Many industries require large amounts of both heat & power for their processes and operations. 

OUR SOLUTION 

247Solar Inc. Clean Technology

247Solar technologies provide round-the-clock combined heat & power for industry, with few if any CO2 or other emissions.

  • Improved economics:
    • Reduce energy costs 70-90%
    • Earn revenue from carbon credits or offsets
    • In US, 30% Investment Tax Credit and accelerated depreciation
    • Lock in energy costs for decades
  • Increased flexibility
    • Grid independence
    • Load shift to reduce or eliminate demand charges
  • Reduced carbon footprint
    • Reduce emissions
    • Enhance ESG credentials
  • 24/7 energy availability 
    • Electricity – 400 kWe, scalable to 10s of MW
    • Heat – Temperature: 250-1000℃
    • Volume:  10s MBTU/hour

EXAMPLE
An orange juice factory in Spain requires electricity for plant operations, steam for juice processing and hot gases for drying orange peel. Grid connected; seeking to lower electricity and heat costs and reduce carbon footprint.

  • Annual Requirement: 
    • Electricity: 25,000 MWh; Steam: 53,000 t/y (8 bar saturated); Hot gases equivalent to about 50.000 t/y of steam 
  • Implementation:
    • Pilot:  1 400kWe 247Solar Plant, modified for on-grid or off-grid operation to meet widely variable loads on-demand and facilitate load shifting to optimize electricity costs.
    • Rollout: Increase total installed capacity to 8 MW to meet full annual power and heat requirements, reduce energy costs up to 85% and earn carbon credits.
OUTCOME
  • Reduced electricity and heat costs, pilot: LCOE < 40 €/MWH
  • Reduced electricity and heat costs, rollout: < 30 €/MWH
  • Carbon footprint: carbon negative – reduces both electrical and thermal emissions
