The technology of the combined heat and power (CHP) in a cogeneration unit is as safe and solid as a conventional heating. We call it the electricity producing heating. With one combined heat and power unit (CHP) you lower your operating cost substantially.

The BHKW-Zentrale stands for technically faultless solutions and selects independently with you from the leading manufacturers the optimal CHP for your needs.

High performance The cogeneration unit converts the biogas generated into electricity and heat and is a decisive component when it comes to the efficiency of your biogas plant. High-quality motors which have been tried and tested over many years ensure optimum efficiency.

I clearly prefer cogeneration (CHP). A district heating plant may contain a CHP, but other systems as well. The German "Blockheizkraftwerk" consist of a generator (for electricity) and a heat exhanger (for heating):
Ein Blockheizkraftwerk (BHKW) ist eine modular aufgebaute Anlage zur Gewinnung von elektrischer Energie und Wärme, die vorzugsweise am Ort des Wärmeverbrauchs betrieben wird, aber auch Nutzwärme in ein Nahwärmenetz einspeisen kann. Sie setzt dazu das Prinzip der Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung ein.
Als Antrieb für den Stromerzeuger können Verbrennungsmotoren, d. h. Diesel- oder Gasmotoren, aber auch Gasturbinen verwendet werden.
Der höhere Gesamtnutzungsgrad gegenüber der herkömmlichen Kombination von lokaler Heizung und zentralem Kraftwerk resultiert aus der Nutzung der Abwärme der Stromerzeugung direkt am Ort der Entstehung. Der Wirkungsgrad der Stromerzeugung liegt dabei, abhängig von der Anlagengröße, zwischen etwa 25 und 50 %. Durch die ortsnahe Nutzung der Abwärme wird die eingesetzte Primärenergie aber zu 80 bis über 90 % genutzt. Blockheizkraftwerke können so bis zu 40 % Primärenergie einsparen.

Cogeneration (also combined heat and power, CHP) is the use of a heat engine or a power station to simultaneously generate both electricity and useful heat.
All power plants must emit a certain amount of heat during of electricity generation This can be into the natural environment through cooling towers, flue gas, or by other means. By contrast CHP captures some or all of the by-product heat for heating purposes, either very close to the plant, or—especially in Scandinavia and eastern Europe—as hot water for district heating with temperatures ranging from approximately 80 to 130 °C. This is also called Combined Heat and Power District Heating or CHPDH. Small CHP plants are an example of decentralized energy.[1]

Note from asker:
| Thank you Johannes. However, you have, in your explanation, suggested two quite different answers. While co-generation and CHP are the same thing by different names, a district heating system (which may well involve co-generation) is something quite different. Some years ago, I was responsible for managing the renewal of a district heating system. It was in the early days of CHP and we had to decide whether or not to incorporate it. I don't understand German, so which do you mean? IATE (which is not always reliable) doesn't give a direct translation from the German into English and offers both possibilities. They cannot both be correct! |
| OK, so I take it that you didn't mean to muddy the waters with district heating systems, which predate CHP by decades. |

Thanks Johannes. They definitely do have a cogeneration unit, which I suspect uses diesel and sparkplugs, rather than rape oil and candles!
The usage of rape oil in BHKW communal heating for the production of ... be used as lamp oil or for cooking. It can also be processed to soap and candles
