Improving energy efficiency, biomass-based combined heat & power systems provide a sustainable solution for decentralized power generation. By utilizing biomass combustion, gasification, or anaerobic digestion, these systems simultaneously generate electricity and thermal energy for industrial and residential applications. Co-firing biomass with coal in existing power plants is reducing emissions while enhancing energy security. Technological advances in turbine efficiency, heat recovery, and carbon capture integration are further optimizing performance. Recent developments in small-scale CHP units are expanding their use in rural and off-grid locations, promoting energy access. As energy storage solutions improve, the flexibility and resilience of biomass-based CHP systems are expected to increase.
