NEW TECHNOLOGIES COGENERATION

Combined electricity and heat generation

This technology combines power and heat generation. By using both commodities produced, it
achieves a high overall efficiency of energy conversion while reducing greenhouse gas (CO2)
emissions.

Electricity and heat production

Improving energy efficiency

Safer operation

We see cogeneration as one of the most natural procedures in terms of the economical use of our resources. We want to apply the CHP principle at all MND sites wherever it makes economic sense.

CHP PROGRAMME

We want to implement three cogeneration units at our sites by 2025

We have a cogeneration unit in operation at our operating centres in Dambořice and Lužice. Each of them covers approximately 60% of the operational electricity consumption of the centres and almost 90% of the thermal energy needs, while achieving an overall fuel conversion efficiency of 75 to 80%.

The application of KVET heat exchangers will significantly reduce the frequency and duration of operation of open flame burners in thermal appliances, which will also improve the safety of our existing facilities.

By the end of 2025, we will build another CHP unit and move towards energy self-sufficiency through power generation.

With the help of the CHP technology in Dambořice we achieved a reduction of CO2 emissions by about 300t per year, compared to the state before the installation of the unit.

The maximum thermal output of the unit is 237 kW.

CHP Dambořice pilot project

We have put a Cento 200 cogeneration unit into operation at the centre in Dambořice.
