Decarbonizing Industries with Combined Cooling, Heating, and Power (CCHP): A BROAD Perspective
As global industries grapple with rising energy costs and tightening climate regulations, the need for efficient, low-emission solutions is urgent. Traditional fossil-fuel-based energy systems continue to release significant greenhouse gases (GHGs), making industrial sectors one of the largest contributors to global carbon footprints. BROAD, a global leader in sustainable HVAC and energy solutions, offers a compelling answer: Combined Cooling, Heating, and Power (CCHP) systems. These systems are proving vital in decarbonizing large-scale industrial operations by maximizing fuel efficiency and minimizing emissions.

Emission Reductions: Numbers That Matter
- BROAD’s CCHP systems convert over 85% of fuel into useful energy, unlike conventional systems that waste up to 60% as heat. They reduce CO₂ emissions by 35–50%, NOx emissions by up to 60%, and can eliminate the need for coal-fired steam boilers in many setups.
- A chemical plant in Maharashtra using BROAD’s system saw an annual CO₂ reduction of 1,800 metric tons is equivalent of planting over 70,000 trees.
Performance Benchmarks: Beyond Efficiency
- With Energy Utilization Rates (EUR) above 80%, BROAD’s CCHP systems far surpass traditional efficiencies of 35–40%.
- - Cooling COP: 1.2 – 1.5
- - Power Output Range: 50 kW to 10 MW
- - Typical Payback Period: 2.5 to 4 years depending on fuel and usage
These systems are especially suited for sectors like steel, pharma, textiles, and food processing.
Sustainability Alignment: Driving ESG & SDG Goals
- - Supports UN SDGs: SDG 7 (Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Innovation & Infrastructure), SDG 13 (Climate Action)
- - Boosts ESG reporting by reducing Scope 1 & 2 emissions
- - Helps secure green financing and improves sustainability scores
