Hamilton Community Energy (HCE) installed a Caterpillar G3616 combined heat and power (CHP) package with Toromont Power Systems. This combined heat and power technology produces energy at an overall efficiency rating approaching 80 percent as well as produces nearly 85 percent of the system’s total thermal requirements through a natural gas-fired reciprocating engine which is connected to the generator. Since commissioning their CHP system, HCE has reduced its carbon footprint emissions by over 34 percent and is EcoLogo® Certified.
