CHP is the conversion of a single fuel source into two or more useful energy streams, typically electricity and heat.
The steam or hot water generated can be used for heating, air conditioning, domestic hot water and other process requirements. The economics of electricity generation system improve if there is a market for this recovered energy.
The net results are increased fuel efficiency and less greenhouse gas emissions.
