ABSTRACT

There was great interest about the investment and associated costs figures, the outlook and support of government’s for the different cogeneration systems in the different countries. No single figure could be given because it depends on the availability and price of fuels in each country, culture of the society, energy demand profile, government’s policies and so on. What was very clear was that, regardless of countries’ characteristics, cogeneration has a great future, is very profitable and that these countries peculiarities determine the opportunity and type of system to be used.
