      to general power generation.
      The energy use efficiency is more than 30%, which saves more energy than the individual supply method.
      As a result, the energy saving is 15.8% compared to individual supply methods.
    [Pic.] Comparison between General generation and Cogeneration Efficiency Graph

    [Pic.] Comparison between General generation and Cogeneration Efficiency

    [General generation]
    Energy efficiency 49.9%
    Electricity??49.9%, Fuel Energy(100%), Loss??50.1%
    [Cogeneration]
    Energy efficiency 80.7%
