80%+ Efficiency from a Single Fuel Source
Combined Cooling, Heat and Power systems that simultaneously generate electricity, heat, and cooling — dramatically cutting energy costs for sites with constant thermal baseloads.
One fuel, three useful outputs
Cogeneration recovers the heat a normal power station throws away — and, with an absorption chiller, turns some of it into cooling — lifting useful efficiency past 80%.

Our Delivery Process
CCHP is most valuable for sites with high, consistent thermal demand. We design systems that recover every unit of heat generated during power production.
Thermal baseload assessment
We analyse your heating, cooling, and hot-water demand profiles to establish whether a CCHP or CHP system is viable and size the prime mover correctly.
Technology selection
Gas or biogas reciprocating engines, gas turbines, or micro-CHP units are selected based on your demand profile and operational hours.
Detailed engineering design
Heat recovery, absorption chiller integration, grid protection, and control philosophy are engineered to comply with G99 and all relevant standards.
Installation & commissioning
Full turnkey delivery including civil works, plant room fit-out, controls integration, and operator training with ongoing maintenance contracts.
Proven on Real Sites
Food Processing Plant, North West England
£310k/year energy cost reduction
A 500 kWe gas CHP with heat recovery for process steam reduced grid electricity demand by 70% and displaced a gas boiler, achieving payback in 5.2 years.
