Abstract:
This study will show the importance of cogeneration in Spain and the regulatory framework that has this innovative system at the energy level. It will be shown through a synthesis of data, which will detail the industrial sector that pollutes most, what emits more gases and the impact of these on the environment, and the sector that most advantage of the processes of cogeneration What is to be demonstrated is that all innovation continues to have negative impacts on the environment, and that innovations often do not reduce negative externalities enough, but rather provide more savings or economic benefits.
