From the Editor The penetration of CHP/cogeneration and district energy technologies varies very widely indeed across the world – from the well-known success stories of Denmark and Finland, where around half the total electricity generation is from CHP and district heating is the norm, to countries where the technology is hardly known, let alone used.
