What is CHP?
Combined Heat and Power, also known as CHP, is a technology that generates electricity as well as thermal energy. This process involves utilizing fuel or steam to turn a generator to produce electricity. Heat that is produced in the form of exhaust gasses or steam is then captured and converted into thermal energy. The resulting thermal energy can be used for purposes such as space heating and cooling as well as domestic hot water. CHP is a highly efficient form of electricity and thermal energy production that is used in universities, industries, and urban centers across the United States.
