Abstract

The arguments supporting the development of cogeneration (CHP), among others based on methane from coal bed, are discussed in the presented paper. The resources of methane from coal beds are characterised and the prognosis of the CHP development are presented. The technical analysis of selected CHP plant basing on the regulations included in the Polish energy law has been carried out. The detailed economic analysis proved the profitability of application of the methane from coal bed as a fuel for CHP plants. It has been demonstrated that the important factor deciding of this profitability is the support system based on certificates for high efficient cogeneration. It has been also demonstrated that the further increase of the CHP efficiency is possible thanks to the realisation of tri-generation.
