Cogeneration is the combined production of power and useful heat by the sequential use of energy from one fuel source. If cogeneration is implemented by a private company, it can then be considered a special form of private power generation, as this was this discussion among the Asean Countries at the Senior Executive Seminar on Cogeneration and Private Power . This study is based on a model developed at the Asian Institute of Technology to assess the industry-wide cogeneration potential. The model calculates the technical and financial cogeneration potential at process or industry level. In this study, 12 industries which are highly energy intensive and constitute about 84% of the total energy consumed in the industrial sector, were considered in the model. The results provide a description of aggregate potential for the industries based on available data and for a range of scenarios. Sensitivity analysis was done on parameters such as fuel and electricity prices, buy-back rate and cogeneration technology. The paper al so highlights the privatisation of the National Electricity Board, the opportunities and the implications and also the the impact of cogeneration on a utility like LLN. The second part of the study is focused on the cogeneration potential in the palm oil industry a nd the rice mills, as the Malaysian economy i s predominantly agricultural in nature. The emergence of processing mills which are located throughout Peninsular Malaysia has formed a strong agro - based industrial infrastructure which can sustain production of processed agricultural products. Most of these mills apply cogeneration, that is, heat released from the burning of agricultural wastes is used for process and power genera ti on. Cogeneration capacity is however, limited because the generation of process heat and power is restricted for the mill's consumption. Biomass utilization in Malaysia assesses the resource potential on output per hectare basis or on estimated production of all major crops. The approach applied here is the identification of the types of wastes which are most probably harnessable in terms of availability of mills and the excess wastes which have not been utilized.
