Dr. Peter Gluck, Further to Your question:
The 1 MW “Container Energy Catalyser” (ContainerCat) Power Plant in its present form generate heath in the form of steam / hot water. As a thermal power plant it can be made to generate space & water heating for factories and buildings. However, to put this revolutionary New Energy power plant into the present energy-marked perspective it is best to compare it with a CHP (combined heat & power) plant when it (in the near future) is combined with a steam to el-power converting system in addition to delivering heat for usable heating purposes. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_heat_and_power On cost comparison it is best to compare the 1 MW E-Cat Power Plant to CHP generated by natural gas. The most economic future E-Cat 1 MW Container Power Plant will be a Cogeneration (combined heat and power, CHP) that simultaneously generate both electricity and useful heat. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_power Some of Your question can be answer as: The energy efficiency of a conventional thermal power station, considered as saleable energy as a percent of the heating value of the fuel consumed, is typically 33% to 48%. And, yes the EU site is a good source for most anything on energy statistics in EU, including real facts on the ridiculous low efficiency factor for the expensive & highly subsidised Offshore Wind Farms now being constructed in the UK (Wind Farms is like energy living on social security, “they can not stay on their own one feet”.
