Dalkia has supplied the St-Anne St-Remi Hospital in Brussels with CHP to lower its utilities costs via the use of a single fuel source for electricity and hot water generation. The system is expected to save the hospital some 370 tonnes of CO2 annually.
Chirec operates six hospitals across Brussels and Braine. St-Anne St-Remi Hospital is the group’s third site where Dalkia’s CHP division, Cogenco, has installed a CHP engine to cover the continuous demand for electricity and hot water. The 238 kWe plant uses natural gas to fire the CHP engine, recovering the waste heat emitted during the electrical generation process. The retrieved thermal energy is in turn used to produce low-grade hot water via on-site boilers. Dalkia also provides guarantees on energy efficiency and availability as part of its service package.
