Chapter 2 Small-scale power plants with a bottoming steam cycle, although this is a more complex and less diffused technology [2.1]. However, as discussed, the most convenient solution is probably co- combustion in large-scale coal plants, avoiding construction of new dedicated facilities and allowing exploitation of biomass in relatively high-efficiency plants. 2.2 Small-scale power generation and CHP Small-scale power generation falls within the broader concept of Distributed Generation (DG), consisting in on-site power production, i.e. next to the final user (that may be a single house as well as mid-sized factories), with handover to low or medium-voltage grid of electric surplus. This allows to easily follow the variations of the power load and to avoid losses, consisting in several percentage points in terms of equivalent electrical efficiency, related to the transmission and distribution processes, necessary in case of centralised production in large-scale plants. On the other hand, in the classic case of natural gas feeding, DG results heavily penalised compared to large-scale plants in all cost determinants: • investment, being higher in specific terms (€/kWel) and split over a lower number of yearly working hours; • fuel, being affected by higher unit costs and lower electrical efficiencies (which can reach 60% in large combined cycles, while they do not exceed 30% on 100 kWel-size and 40% on 1 MWel-size in internal combustion engines, which are the most performing solution); • O&M (Operation and Maintenance), whose incidence is relatively higher. Basing on these considerations, methane-fed1 DG has a sense, both in energy and economic terms, only if waste heat is recovered, i.e. if a combined heat and power production is being carried out. The basic concept of cogeneration or CHP is well known: in every thermodynamic power cycle, that yields mechanical or electric power adopting high-temperature heat (normally deriving from a combustion process) as an energy source, it is necessary to 1 In this work natural gas and methane are normally used as synonyms. 56

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
