Cogeneration

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-004269

The simultaneous production of electricity and useful heat from a single fuel source, such as natural gas. This process captures waste heat that would otherwise be lost, improving overall energy efficiency. The heat can be used for industrial processes, space heating, or to generate steam for enhanced oil recovery operations.
