TECHNOLOGY FOR BUSINESS Improved energy efficiency and improved insulation lowers gas sales per house Remaining CHP potentials § Industrial CHP (mostly medium-scale plants) § Domestic sector (direct firing boiler replacement) For micro CHP units of 1 -3 k. We an installation potential of approx. 750 MWe exists for domestic gas boiler replacement. Marcogaz Micro Cogeneration Workshop 2008 Dansk Gasteknisk Center a/s

TECHNOLOGY FOR BUSINESS Gas industry mini-micro CHP activities, examples § Demonstration of Senertec (5 k. W) Mini CHP units (Shell/NESA) § Early-stage Whisper. Gen (700 W) Lab test (at DGC) § Lab- & field test of Eco. Power Mini CHP unit (1, 5 -5 k. W) § Field performance test of EC-Power (Mini CHP 15 k. W) unit § Year 2007 -12 Participation in the Fuel Cell Micro CHP development and demonstration programme (Budget 25 mill. Euro, see seperate presentation) § Year 2009 Installation of hydrogen fuelled 3*25 k. We fuel cell units at college (”H 2 College”) § Analysis and discussions with authorities to overcome barriers for Mini/Micro CHP implementation, ongoing proces Marcogaz Micro Cogeneration Workshop 2008 Dansk Gasteknisk Center a/s

TECHNOLOGY FOR BUSINESS Obstacles-Challenges § Products: - Price of units is high. . - Long term documentation is needed… - The space needed in the houses…. § Service organisation… § Metering/billing Grid connection access is ok. However if electricity periodic is exported metering/billing is complicated to avoid double taxation. Marcogaz Micro Cogeneration Workshop 2008 Dansk Gasteknisk Center a/s
