Pirooz M. Sharafi

Natural Resources Forum, 1987, vol. 11, issue 1, 27-35

Abstract: The analysis reveals that although cogeneration alone will not resolve power‐shortage problems, it could produce more scheme in developing countries. The paper estimates the cogeneration potential in selected countries and identifies the technical, economic/financial and institutional issues of importance to cogeneration development in developing countries. The analysis reveals that although cogeneration alone will not resolve power‐shortage problems, it could produce more than a 10% increase in the electricity‐generation capacity in developing countries. Most of this potential is in the industrial sector and can be economically developed.
