It really isn't a power plant -- it just makes heat. Complete waste -- regardless of the fuel source.

Questions: 1)Does your historical-efficiency chart consider seasonality: ie, that most of the heat output goes unused during warm months when there is less demand for heating? 2)How do new-generation combined cycle turbines, which are advertised as 60% efficient, change the economics of cogeneration? 3)How feasible would it be to have fairly small cogeneration plants, powered by nat gas, located in places where water cooling is not available? All very interesting stuff…I linked your American Scientist article here.

1)Does your historical-efficiency chart consider seasonality: ie, that most of the heat output goes unused during warm months when there is less demand for heating?

2)How do new-generation combined cycle turbines, which are advertised as 60% efficient, change the economics of cogeneration?

3)How feasible would it be to have fairly small cogeneration plants, powered by nat gas, located in places where water cooling is not available?

That may be true, but does that make them clean The eight proposed coal-fired power plants in Michigan claim that they will be more efficient and reduce emissions compared to older coal plants they may be replacing.
