Micro Combined Heat and Power Technology

This Technology Transfer Advances Iran's

• Nationally Determined Contribution to achieve emission reduction through measures such as combined cycle power plants and renewable energies.

Context 

Iran has made significant progress towards creating a regulatory environment to support energy from Combined Heat and Power (CHP) technologies, including Micro Combined Heat and Power (MCHP) at the household level, as a means of reducing energy consumption and replacing conventional energy supply infrastructures. However, Iran lacks a sufficient number of domestic manufacturers of CHP technologies that have the level of reliability and customer service demanded by consumers needed in order to make further progress in the adoption of CHP nationwide.   

Technical Assistance Request 

Develop a strategy to create an investor-friendly environment for purchasing both CHP and MCHP technologies for technology transfer  

CTCN Response 

• Identify suppliers with proven CHP and MCHP technologies 
• Facilitate communications with technology providers 
• Develop a strategy for undertaking CHP capacity building on a national scale  

Relevant Technologies and Approaches

• Large-scale Combined Heat and Power
• Small-scale Combined Heat and Power

Expected Results 

• Identification of technology transfer opportunities will inform and guide the work of the government in the energy sector 
• The transfer of appropriate technologies will contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions through enhanced energy efficiency   
• These actions will contribute to more sustainable and low-carbon development of Iran
