In an interview with Ethanol Producer Magazine, Ben Juhnke, industrial preconstruction manager, discussed how McGough’s extensive experience and expertise in installing combined heat and power (CHP) systems has led to significant carbon intensity (CI) reductions for ethanol producers. Juhnke explained that these systems, which McGough has successfully installed at multiple facilities, not only decrease electrical consumption but also enable onsite energy generation. This approach has helped lower CI scores by 2 to 4 points, with additional benefits from heat recovery steam generators that capture exhaust heat and convert it into steam for plant processes.
Juhnke highlights McGough’s deep experience in collaborating with turbine and boiler manufacturers to install CHP systems that deliver long-term savings. He emphasizes how this approach shifts energy production from large, centralized power plants to onsite generation, maximizing efficiency and cutting carbon emissions.
