Trigeneration in Prague Gas Distribution Company in Michle

In the area of Pražská plynárenská a.s. in Prague 4 – Michle, a modern gas technology – trigeneration – has been in operation since 1997. Trigeneration is actually a direct connection between a cogeneration unit and an absorption cooler. The heat from cogeneration can then be used not only for heating or heating, but it is also possible to produce chilled water, most often for air conditioning the building in the summer.
