Climate Energy Brings Combined Heat and Power Home

The idea of combining electricity generation with the production of useful heat—referred to as combined heat and power (CHP) or cogeneration—has long been attractive. With typical fossil-fuel-fired, utility-scale power production, roughly 60 to 70% of the total energy is lost as waste heat. By capturing that thermal energy, overall efficiency can be dramatically increased.
