CHP generation refers to the simultaneous generation of heat and
electricity with high efficiency, as opposed to traditional generation methods.
In CHP generation, steam at high-temperature and high-pressure from the combustion of fuel generates electricity using steam turbines. Steam-on-demand with different pressure and temperature for each customer can be supplied through selective generation at the steam turbine, making good use of the facility. Simultaneous generation of heat and electricity also increases energy efficiency while reducing greenhouse gases.

Business concept
- Eco-friendly, high-efficiency business that generates and distributes heat and electricity simultaneously
- District Energy plant refers to facilities that generate heat and electricity with the use of fuels such as LNG and
bituminous coal. Generated heat is directly supplied to customers for heating purposes in apartments, buildings, or industrial purposes in industrial complexes (plants), while generated electricity is sold by Korea power
exchange. CHP is regarded as a highly efficient business given that both heat and electricity are generated.

Effects of
implementation- Results of CHP (Combined Heat & Power)
- CHP, through which heat and electricity are simultaneously generated, is a method that can produce the most
efficiency from limited resources, and is internationally recognized as a facility of high efficiency and reduction of greenhouse gas. It shall be widely adopted in consideration of a forward-looking perspective regarding the use of energy resources.
- Power generation system (energy efficiency 37%)
- CHP (energy efficiency 78%)
