Bécancour Cogeneration Plant

Cogeneration is the simultaneous production of two forms of useful energy from a single fuel source, often electricity and steam from natural gas. Cogeneration plants minimize fuel consumption, save money and can greatly reduce emissions.

The Bécancour plant has the capacity to produce 550 megawatts of electricity.

The Bécancour facility is fueled by natural gas. It uses thermal efficiencies to minimize fuel consumption and reduce operating costs. What’s more, emissions are reduced by incorporating Dry Low Oxide technology.
