Combined heat and power and Energy-intensive industry

Energy flows from energy-intensive industry to combined heat and power; energy flows from combined heat and power to energy-intensive industry.

Combined heat and power (energy) and Energy-intensive industry (energy): 2 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · 13% of flow · Energy-intensive industry → Combined heat and power

Industrial CHP supplies site power and steam.

  • 13% of Energy-intensive industry's energy goes this way

2. Energy flow

Physical flow · Direct · Combined heat and power → Energy-intensive industry

CHP supplies process steam.
