Abstract
Utilizing waste heat from thermal electric or hydro-electric power stations offers substantial energy and cost savings to both the salmon aquaculture and greenhouse industries in Canada. Projects successfully demonstrating this technology have led to major developments of both industries in New Brunswick.
Producing both electricity and industrial process steam from an electric utility boiler is known as cogeneration. Two projects outlined in this paper demonstrate the improved energy efficiency of cogeneration and the economic benefits to the utility and steam customer.
