Chapter 1 Evaluation of Combined Heat and Power Technologies for Wastewater Treatment Facilities The following figure further illustrates the advantages of operating a CHP system. The Sankey diagram clearly depicts the vastly superior efficiency and subsequent cost savings inherent to operating a CHP system in place of individual and separate power and boiler plants. Figure 1-3. Comparison of CHP and Conventional Approaches to Energy Production 1.3.3 Electric Power Generation As previously mentioned, digester gas is combustible and when properly handled is a renewable energy source and valuable commodity. A large number of digester gas use applications involve the generation of electricity. Digester-gas-fueled electric power generation projects are attractive for the following reasons:  Generated electricity is available for immediate use.  Electricity is often expensive and represents one of the largest costs associated with operating a POTW.  Generated power displaces high priced retail purchases from power utilities.  In some cases generated electricity can be made available for export and sale to power utilities.  Many digester-gas-fueled power generation technologies have long and successful track records.  Generated electricity is a product of biogenic carbon and is carbon neutral. The generated power displaces electric-utility-produced power. 1-7
