Cogeneration technologies include steam turbines (supplied by boilers or waste-heat recovery), conventional or combined-cycle combustion turbines, and internal combustion engines. In the forest products industry, steam turbines supplied by bed boilers are the most frequently used. The chart below illustrates the energy consumed by establishments using a particular type of cogeneration technology. [MECS 1998]
