Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Generation: Key Technology for Innovative Energy Concepts

The changes in the energy market require not only the integration of renewable energy sources, but also the smart use of proven technologies. To that end, CHP plants with gas engines make an important contribution. They generate heat and power at the same time—reliably and with low emissions.

Efficient Energy Generation, Protection of Resources

CHP plants with gas engines significantly increase the overall efficiency of energy generation, as they directly utilize the waste heat generated during electricity production. This leads to significantly lower fuel consumption and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, a key advantage compared to separate heat and power generation.

Important Building Block for Distributed Supply

CHP plants not only promote energy efficiency, they also support the expansion of distributed supply structures. They help to reduce the load on the power grids, improve security of supply, and can be flexibly adapted to local requirements, e.g. in industry, commerce, or municipal infrastructures.

Operation with Hydrogen Admixtures of up to 25 vol%

An important aspect of using gas engines in the context of the changing energy sector is the possibility of running them with hydrogen admixtures. Hydrogen is considered to be one of the key energy sources of the future, as it does not produce any carbon emissions during combustion. MWM gas engines can already be operated with natural gas with a hydrogen admixture of up to 25 vol%. This admixture further reduces carbon emissions and is a significant step toward climate-neutral energy supply.

From Procurement to Service: Quality as the Top Priority

MWM Energy Solutions for Future-Proof Energy Generation

Hydrogen

MWM gas engines already support operation with natural gas with a hydrogen admixture of up to 25 vol%. This applies both to new plants and to existing plants that can be retrofitted with MWM 25H2 kits. The admixture of hydrogen can significantly reduce carbon emissions. This technology facilitates a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to natural gas-only operation and contributes to the achievement of climate targets.

Research & Development

Through continuous research and development, we have almost tripled the power density of the MWM gas engines over the past 20 years. At the same time, we have increased their efficiency by 30%, while minimizing emissions. In this way, we make a valuable contribution to the conservation of resources, while enabling high profitability of our products.

Quality Management

For more than 150 years, we have consistently been focusing on cutting-edge quality and ongoing further development of our products. This approach is instrumental in duly identifying growing customer demands as well as market and environmental requirements and fulfilling these in line with the high quality standards of MWM.

FAQ

What is combined heat and power (CHP) generation and what role does it play in modern energy concepts?

CHP is a technology that produces heat and power at the same time. It is important for innovative energy concepts, as it generates energy in a very efficient manner and with low emissions.

How do CHP plants with gas engines contribute to resource conservation?

CHP plants directly use the waste heat produced during power generation, which increases the overall efficiency of the energy generation. This reduces fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and helps to conserve resources.

What distinguishes MWM gas engines in the context of the energy innovation?

MWM gas engines come with high efficiency, low emissions, and the ability to run on different types of gas, e.g. natural gas, biogas, or special gases. They are quickly ready for use and can be easily integrated into existing systems.

What benefits do CHP plants offer for distributed energy supply?

CHP plants from MWM relieve the load on central power grids, increase security of supply, and can be flexibly adapted to local energy requirements. Therefore, they represent an ideal choice for industry, commerce, and municipal infrastructure.

How does MWM support the more climate-friendly operation of gas engines with hydrogen admixture?

MWM gas engines can be operated with natural gas with a green hydrogen admixture of up to 25 vol%. This greatly reduces carbon emissions. Existing plants can be retrofitted with MWM 25H2 kits.
