First the basics: As the name suggests, CHP is the production of heat and power (electricity) from the same fuel source What that means, is that a boiler used to generate heat for an industrial process can also generate power first through a steam turbine and then send that steam to the process - or similarly, the waste heat from a turbine or engine used to produce power on-site can be used to provide heat for an industrial process or provide heating or cooling for the site. Of course, the electricity may also be sold back to the grid – but that varies widely based on load, the utility, and the regulatory structure for the region Finally, it’s important to note that CHP is a process – not a technology, so it is equipment and fuel neutral.

First and foremost, CHP is more efficient than separate heat and power generation. Along with the efficiency gains, however, there are some other very important co-benefits: First, there is the potential for significant cost savings – albeit with a substantial capital investment up-front Second, the increase in efficiency translates to an across the board reduction in pollutants - NOx, SOx, as well as GHGs Third, on-site power generation can mean a significant improvement in reliability and pow
