Combined heat and power (CHP) is a technology that simultaneously produces electricity and heat from a
single fuel source. Here we consider a CHP system that consumes 72 GJ of coal per hour, while producing
6000kWh electricity and 32.4 GJ of heat. Assume that coal has a heating value of 25 MJ=kg.
(a) Using energy-based allocation, determine the carbon dioxide emission per kWh for this CHP system.
(b) How does it compare with a coal-fired power plant that produces electricity only? For the coal-fired
power plant, it is assumed the thermal efficiency is 35 %. Assume complete combustion and the coal
used has a CO2 emission factor of 2.5 kg=kg.
(c) It is assumed that the heat generated by the CHP system replaces heat from a coal-fired boiler with 90%
efficiency. If this is so, what is the carbon dioxide emission per kWh based on substitution?
