Research Questions
- What is the feasibility of using CHP to achieve
Calgary’s GHG emissions targets?
- What are the conditions under which CHP is an
attractive option for abating CO2 emissions?
- Existing literature: Maribu and Fleten (2008), Energy Journal;
Lemar (2001), Energy Policy; Jaccard (2004)
- Key conditions: Greenfield vs. Retrofit Zones;
Low vs. High Natural Gas Price; Timing

Conclusions
- CHP can help Calgary achieve GHG reduction targets
– 1 large CHP system (100 MW) results in 2% GHG reduction
- Discussions with ENMAX
indicate 15% GHG reduction is feasible
- Abatement cost most dependent on location
- Currently attractive for
greenfield locations…
