Overview: Approximately two-thirds of the fuel used to generate electricity in the United States is wasted in the form of discarded heat. Combined heat and power systems produce electricity or mechanical power and capture recoverable heat for process use. Currently, only 7 percent of this country's electricity is provided by cooling, heating, and power (CHP) systems. These systems take advantage of the "waste" heat of combustion from onsite microturbines, turbines, fuel cells, and reciprocating engines for space conditioning, steam, hot water, or further power generation. This document focuses on the benefits of using combined heat, cooling, and power systems.
