Description
In 2023, DTC Soluciones, together with a major lumber distributor, implemented a cogeneration power system to reduce its operating costs, improve the thermal control of its drying process, and move towards more sustainable practices.
The company installed a natural gas-fired distributed generation system, which integrates a compact and efficient unit designed to generate electricity and useful heat from a single source.
