Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
Take the next step forward for your business to save on energy costs while maximizing power generation – with lasting benefits.
Why Choose CHP?
As electric rates continue to climb and utility grids strain to meet demand, Combined Heat and Power (CHP), also called cogeneration, could be the answer you need to overcome these challenges.
CHP solutions capture heat from generator sets that would have otherwise been wasted and uses that energy for industrial processes such as providing heat for buildings. This allows CHP systems to reach up to 80% efficiency and reduce both the cost and emissions of your facility plant. There may be local tax credits or other incentives which can make your CHP project even more affordable.
As you move forward in your energy transition journey, you can incorporate biogas, biofuels, or hydrogen into your system for further reductions in your site's overall GHG emissions.
