NATURAL GAS AND COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANTS

The simultaneous production of electricity and heat (heating and domestic hot water) from a macro or micro turbine powered with natural gas is a solution which can significantly reduce energy costs and polluting emissions.

 

The use of natural gas as a fuel produces the most efficient energy balance and ecobalance. This technology also provides a secure electricity supply where needed (shopping centres, industries, small companies, buildings, etc.).

NATURAL GAS AND SOLAR ENERGY

In order to produce electricity and heat, there is also a variant of mini cogeneration plants equipped with solar heat storage. This process has been developed in collaboration with the Research Fund for the Gas Industry (FOGA).

 

 

Associating the use of natural gas to solar energy is an excellent environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution.
