Description
The project aims to install a combined heat and power co-generation plant fueled by renewable sources (i.e. a bio-gas plant from organic feed stock), and to be coupled with a photovoltaic system.
The project consists of a combined heat and power co-generation bio-gas (88 kW) and PV roof-top solar (150 kW) plant on the premises of the Banat Agricultural University in Timişoara. The project will utilize available bio resources, currently being wasted, and vacant roof-top space on university buildings.
The project will install a total capacity of 238 kW renewable energy generating a total of 1 500 MWh of electric and thermal energy annually. This production will displace fossil fuelled power from the grid, natural gas currently used for heating purposes and mitigate methane emissions. Total equivalent Co2 emissions savings are 2,515 tons per year.
Outcomes of the project:
Estimated annual decrease of CO2 emissions: 2 515 tonnes/year
Estimated annual production of electric energy from renewable sources: 1 500 MWh/year
Estimated number of jobs created: 1 new job
Outputs of the project:
Capacity of production of energy from other renewable sources: 238 kW (88 kW bio-gas installation and 150 kW photovoltaic panels)
Summary of project results
The project aimed installing a combined heat and power co-generation plant fueled by renewable sources (i.e. a bio-gas plant from organic feed stock), and to be coupled with a photovoltaic system.
The project implementation consisted in installing a combined heat and power co-generation bio-gas (100 kW installed capacity) and photovoltaic panels (150 kW installed capacity) on the premises of the University.
The renewable energy system will generate a total of 1,500 MWh/year, reduce CO2 emissions by 2,515 tons per year, the direct beneficiaries being the people working and studying in the University.
