Small-scale CHP offers an additional possibility of expanding the potential by including minor towns and villages and helps replacing fossil fuels by local biomass resources. This paper compares some optimisation methodologies for identification of small-scale CHP implementation strategies. The paper is based on a study of Lithuania who is facing the need of huge investments in both the replacement of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant and of district heat production units in many of the existing systems. The importance of calculating business economic optimal solutions for small DH companies is em- phasised, and attention is focused on understanding the potential differences between business and socio-economic optimal solutions in the present situation of no CO2 emission costs and possibilities of cheap import of Russian natural gas. Lithuania has a gre...

The implementation of wind power and combined heat- and power production (CHP) have already led to substantial fuel savings, and both technologies are intended for further expansion in the coming decade. Today, approximately 50% of both Danish electricity and heat demand are produced via CHP, and more than

Very often, energy projects are evaluated against narrow energy-sector objectives, such as securing “a sufficient energy supply” and/or securing “reasonable energy prices”. Established technologies using fossil fuels are chosen, while new technologies with less pollution are regarded too risky or too expensive. Meanwhile, most countries have a
