Renewable fuels use of CHP installations, by type 2010-2018

This statistic displays the renewable fuels use from Combined Heat and Power (CHP) installations in the United Kingdom (UK) from 2010 to 2018, by type of installation, in gigawatt hours. It shows that the amount of renewable fuel used in reciprocating engines increased significantly over this period, from 2,120 gigawatt hours in 2010 to 6,859 gigawatt hours in 2018. The renewable fuels use for pass out condensing steam turbines increased as well and totaled 8,081 gigawatt hours in 2018.
