ABOVE: The Dachs CHP unit from Baxi (SenerTec) produces 5.5kW of electricity for up to 12kW heat output at an efficiency of up to 92 per cent. See baxi-senertec.co.uk for more information.

CHP is the production of both heat and electricity from a single fuel source in a single machine. Machines fall into two broad groups: combustion engines and fuel cells. Typical operating efficiency is around 80 to 90 per cent, compared to the electricity coming out of the plug socket at about 27 per cent of the energy that went into the power station.

INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
The Baxi Dachs unit (ABOVE) and the Honda Ecowill are the main players. The Dachs produces up to 12kW of heat and 5kW of electricity on the £15,000 capital cost means running the machine for something over 12 hours per day - 365 days per year. That will generate at least 144kWh of heat each day - a 200m2 well-insulated home can use less than half that.

The Honda Ecowill generates 1kW of electricity and 3kW of heat, and costs of around £5,600.

EXTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
The WhisperGen can generate 8kW of heat and 1.3kW of electricity and costs about £3,000 installed.
Baxi has a larger machine in its EcoGen unit, generating 1.1kW of electricity and a massive 24kW of heat.
The Worcester Bosch Greenstar unit generates 1kW of electricity and 7kW of heat.

In 2008 the WhisperGen was due to hit the market at below £2,000.

FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY
Baxi with its Beta 1.5 unit and ITM-Power with its machine.

Fuel cell technology is very quiet, has on-demand production and it can use a variety of gases as the base fuel - natural gas, methane, propane or hydrogen.
ITM-Power's runs on hydrogen that the homeowner can produce on site. They provide all the kit necessary to use sunlight to split hydrogen from water, which is taken off under pressure so that it is immediately available for use.

Manufacturers are spending more on development. CHP will come, but when, in what form and at what price remains to be seen.

RESEARCH


We are riding a new wave of industrial revolution into the RENEWABLE ENERGY AGE. Renewable Energies bring only advantages and no burden to the world.
The ECO SUSTAINABLE PLANET and ECO SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY sections often overlap - as crops become fuel and microorganisms make electricity - the line is blurred and indeed that is the desired 'interconnectedness' effect.
All these exciting new green technologies could become marketable at any time. To clarify exactly what is available now, you'll find WAPSEC is in the business of WATER & POWER SECURITY. WAPSEC supplies 'wholistec' solutions with leading-edge technology from Germany and Australia.
ECO SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY Ecology and Technology working together in synergy. SUSTAINABLE is 24 x 7. ECO SUSTAINABLE is when there's no waste. The waste product of one process is fuel for the next.
THE AGE of ECOLOGICAL SUSTAINABILITY - inspiration leads to innovation, and solutions provide engineers and architects methodologies to green the world. Man learns to live with the planet.
