Please read my article in site design of engine with porous foams.

Cogeneration is a process of combined heat and power production. The best example is the use of sugarcane in a sugar industry.Sugarcane bagasse goes into the boiler as fuel, that produces steam for unit operations, steam turbine produces mechanical energy which in turn produces electricity in a generator. The flue gas is used in an economizer for preheating boiler feed water or for air preheating.

Further the other sources of energy produced from cane are , molasses are used in ethanol production, the waste spent water is used for biomethanation, dried spent is a rich source of NPK for crop fields and as additives in cattle feed.

A Stirling engine is a regenerative engine which use an internal heat exchanger (the regenerator). Stirling engines have a good efficiencies (up to 50%), which can increase in cogeneration modes. The heat energy source for the fluid expansion is generated external to the engine (differently from other more common ICE such as the Otto or Diesel cycles), therefore it qualifies particularly for cogeneration (as a sink). Cogeneration of heat and power (CHP) means the use of both thermal and electrical energy from any power source, also engines. A Stirling engine is compatible with renewable energy sources which can provide low temperature heat such as solar, geothermal, therefore can be part of sustainable energy systems.

Cogeneration is a simultaneously production of Powe heating and cooling from a single source
