Effective Energy Solutions for a Sustainable Future
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy ,COMBINED HEAT AND POWER Systems. Much like wind power, solar energy, plug-in hybrid vehicles, compact fluorescent light bulbs, and biofuels, COMBINED HEAT AND POWER Systems should be a key component of a well-rounded energy portfolio. COMBINED HEAT AND POWER(CHP) appliances offers several distinct advantages over many other electricity and thermal energy generating technologies with regard to performance, availability, and cost.

It has been said that Combined Heat and Power (CHP) solutions represent a proven and effective near-term energy option to help the United States enhance energy efficiency, ensure environmental quality, promote economic growth, and foster a robust energy infrastructure. Using COMBINED HEAT AND POWER(CHP) today, the United States already avoids more than 1.9 Quadrillion British thermal units (Quads) of fuel consumption and 248 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions annually compared to traditional separate production of electricity and thermal energy. This CO2 reduction is the equivalent of removing more than 45 million cars from the road. In addition, COMBINED HEAT AND POWER(CHP) is one of the few options in the portfolio of energy alternatives that combines environmental effectiveness with economic viability and improved competitiveness.
This report describes in detail the four key areas where COMBINED HEAT AND POWER(CHP) has proven its effectiveness and holds promise for the future as an: • Environmental Solution: Significantly reducing CO2 emissions through greater energy efficiency • Competitive Business Solution: Increasing efficiency, reducing business costs, and creating green-collar jobs • Local Energy Solution: Deployable throughout the US • Infrastructure Modernization Solution: Relieving grid congestion and improving energy security As an efficiency technology, lowers demand on the electricity delivery system, frequently reduces reliance on traditional energy supplies, makes businesses more competitive by lowering their costs, reduces greenhouse gas and criteria pollutant emissions, and refocuses infrastructure investments towards a next-generation energy system. Already used by many large industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities, COMBINED HEAT AND POWER(CHP) is a proven and effective energy resource, deployable in the near term, that can help address current and future US energy needs. Incorporating commercially available technology, COMBINED HEAT AND POWER(CHP) can provide an immediate solution to pressing energy problems. COMBINED HEAT AND POWER(CHP) is one of the most promising options in the US energy efficiency portfolio. It is not a single technology but a group of technologies that can use a variety of fuels to provide reliable electricity, mechanical power, or thermal energy at a factory, university campus, hospital, or commercial building—wherever the power is needed. COMBINED HEAT AND POWER(CHP)s efficiency comes from recovering the heat that would normally be wasted while generating power to supply the heating or cooling needs of the user. By capturing and utilizing waste heat, CHP requires less fuel than equivalent separate heat and power systems to produce the same amount of energy services. Because COMBINED HEAT AND POWER(CHP) is located at or near the point of use, it also eliminates the losses that normally occur in the transmission and distribution of electricity from a power plant to the use. COMBINED HEAT AND POWER(CHP) or cogeneration, has been around in one form or another for more than 100 years; it is proven, not speculative. Despite this proven track record, COMBINED HEAT AND POWER(CHP) remains underutilized and is one of the most compelling sources of energy efficiency that could, with even modest investments, move the Nation strongly toward greater energy security and a cleaner environment.
