Cogeneration, or combined heat and power (CHP), offers numerous benefits including enhanced energy efficiency, reduced carbon emissions, and improved cost-effectiveness. By simultaneously generating electricity and capturing the extra heat for heating or cooling purposes, cogeneration plants maximize the utilization of fuel resources, which minimizes waste and environmental impact. Bergen Engines’ extensive experience in cogeneration technology ensures that Forestal del Atlántico’s new plant will achieve optimal efficiency and sustainability.
Roberto Camarasa, Sales Manager for Bergen Engines Ibérica, expressed his enthusiasm: “This is a very important project for us and the wider cogeneration market in Spain. With our engines, partnered with the long-term service agreement, we’re providing a guarantee of safe operation and maximum performance. As we look toward the future, we’re hopeful that our hydrogen-ready engines will contribute to future net zero emission targets in the region.”
