Co-Generation System

  • The gas engine co-generation system using natural gas that is cleam emergy (emissions of CO2 and NOx are a little, and SOx is hardly produced) has been introduced.
  • The high temperature water is recovered from the exhaust heat (exhaust gas & jacket water) of gas engine, and it is used for air-conditioning in Energy Conversion Research Center.
