*Combined Heat and Power, also known as cogeneration. **Renewable fuels include: Biomass; sewage gas, other biogases, municipal solid waste and refuse derived fuels. ***Other fuels include: process by-products, coke oven gas, blast furnace gas, gas oil and refinery gas.
This statistic displays the total amount of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) electricity generated from fuels in the United Kingdom (UK) from 2010 to 2018, by fuel type, in gigawatt hours. It shows that the amount of electricity generated from renewable fuels increased over this period from gigawatt hours in 2010 to gigawatt hours in 2018. The total amount of CHP electricity generated from natural gas has decreased notably to * gigawatt hours but remains by far the largest source for CHP electricity generation.
