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…
