 Cogeneration
Cogeneration could be defined as improving the performance of installations buy
joint production and use of electricity.
In contrast to the conventional process, starting with fuel (e.g. crude
oil or natural gas), in which only electricity is obtained, in
both the electricity obtained and the resulting vapour are considered useful.
Vapour is used in industrial processes and for warming public centres such as
the swimming pools of San Amaro and San Diego.
La Coruña has four cogeneration plants to save energy and make the
most of the biogas produced by city waste at the
Nostián Waste treatment Plant and in the old
Bens landfill.
