Cogeneration technologies include steam turbines
(supplied by boilers or waste-heat recovery), conventional or combined-cycle combustion
turbines, or internal combustion engines. In chemical plants, cogeneration is most often
accomplished using a combination of two or more of these technologies. [MECS 1994] The chart below illustrates the energy consumed by
establishments using a particular type of cogeneration technology, not necessarily the
energy consumed by the technology itself.
