The benefits of CHO-Power

CHO-Power produces more electricity from the same source:

CHO-Power’s electrical efficiency can reach 40%, compared with 18-20% for a combustion cycle and steam turbine. A CHO-Power facility is a true electric power plant.

Electricity is generated locally in a reliable and constant manner, and it is not dependent on weather conditions:

The fuel comes from local resources, i.e. waste collected in the vicinity as well as biomass from the region. This creates a virtuous circle responding to growing demand for more proximity in a globalised society. In fact, CHO-Power covers more than 20% of household electricity requirements. [Find out more]

The process accepts a wide range of fuels:

The adaptability of CHO-Power plants to local markets is all the greater because the method accepts a wide variety of fuels, ranging from non-hazardous ordinary industrial, commercial and domestic waste to automotive shredder residue to the purest and most prepared biomass. [Find out more]

The CHO-Power solution is part of a sustainable waste management process:

In accordance with the European Directive which promotes the prevention, reuse, recycling, recovery and safe disposal of waste, CHO-Power slots into the chain after sorting and recycling, avoids landfill and discourages waste production.

The units are compact and totally integrated:

CHO-Power attaches particularly importance to integrating its units into urban areas where space is limited or in rural areas where massive facilities generate increased traffic flow. These reasonably sized facilities can be dressed to blend in with the local landscape or, in contrast, serve as architectural landmarks.
