Combined Heat and Power

Also known as cogeneration, is an efficient, clean, and reliable approach to generating power and thermal energy from a single fuel source. By installing a CHP system designed to meet the thermal and electrical base loads of a facility, CHP can greatly increase the facility's operational efficiency and decrease energy costs. At the same time, CHP reduces the emission of greenhouse gases, which contribute to global climate change.

EPA’s Combined Heat and Power Partnerships –  A voluntary program seeking to reduce the environmental impact of power generation by promoting the use of CHP.
