Cogeneration

Hybrid plants for a sustainable energy system

Integrating heat and power for industrial efficiency and sustainability

Sener develops cogeneration and combined cycle plants that are both efficient and highly flexible. These facilities produce electricity and useful heat simultaneously, reducing fuel consumption and lowering emissions. By integrating cogeneration into industrial processes, Sener enables clients to decarbonize while maintaining operational reliability.

We integrate energy and process with proven reliability

Our cogeneration solutions are engineered to fit seamlessly within existing industrial processes. By coupling heat and power generation, we achieve efficiencies far above conventional plants. Projects delivered in Spain and across Europe demonstrate our ability to ensure resilience while reducing operating costs and emissions. This makes Sener a trusted partner for industries that depend on both energy security and sustainability.

Why choose us

Sener has decades of experience in generation projects and the industrial world. We have implemented advanced cogeneration plants that supply process steam and power to refineries and petrochemical complexes, often under demanding operational conditions. Our designs integrate multiple liquid and gaseous fuels and can adapt to continuous and discontinuous production, guaranteeing security of supply.

How we work

Our methodology begins with a comprehensive assessment of industrial energy demand, including process steam, heat, and electricity needs. We then model scenarios to determine the optimal configuration, whether single-shaft or multi-shaft, liquid, gaseous, or dual fuel. During implementation, we deliver turnkey EPC contracts that include design, procurement, construction, and start-up. Post-commissioning, we provide O&M services, monitoring efficiency and supporting fuel transitions such as the gradual adoption of hydrogen.

We ensure performance through flexible, future-ready design

Our cogeneration plants are designed for maximum flexibility. They can accommodate multiple fuels, incorporate CHP, and adapt to varying production regimes. By embedding predictive monitoring and planning for hydrogen readiness, we secure long-term performance and compliance with tightening environmental standards. This ensures that plants remain competitive, efficient, and aligned with decarbonization goals.
