Civil co-generation project - The studies look into the possibility of using a technology giving big savings and high energy efficiency - co-generation - in this case distributed co-generation for civil and residential applications. The project analyzes the development and experimentation of micro-cogenerators based on innovative technologies with an integrated methodology for estimating energy demand.
