The benefits analysis compared two scenarios: the Accelerated CHP Scenario, achieving the potentials described above, and the IEA World Energy Outlook 2007 Alternative Policy Scenario (APS). These two scenarios were modelled, taking into account expected electricity demand growth, closure of existing power plants, the technologies used for power generation, and characteristics of the electricity sector, such as costs and network losses. For more details about the methodology used to assess the benefits of CHP, please contact the CHP/DHC Collaborative contact. The outputs of the benefits assessment were: • Capital Investment Costs
• Delivered Electricity Costs • CO2 Emissions and Fuel Consumption Country Profiles for the G8 and other major economies will be developed for the following countries.
