HSLU University participated in the PACE project analysing microcogenerators from an economic and ecological point of view. As Prof. Christoph Imboden explains, three key points emerged from the survey: microcogeneration systems are flexible and adapt to the needs of the electricity market; microcogenerators are used for self-consumption and therefore allow a reduction in the costs of the bill; the combination of micro cogeneration and heat pumps halves CO2 emissions and operating costs.
