Combined Heat and Power, Waste Heat Recovery and District Energy — A New Perspective on Energy

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is... generating electricity right near where it will be used, and then recycling the thermal energy for heating or cooling. It's very efficient, it already supplies 10% of our nation's energy, and it can and should supply more.

District Energy is... CHP, heating, and/or cooling for an entire university, office park, medical campus, mixed use sustainable development, or downtown. Over 400 building networks in the U.S. already use district energy, and the number is on the rise.

Waste Heat Recovery is... capturing waste heat that an industrial site or pipeline compressor station is already emitting, and turning it into clean and renewable electricity or recycled thermal energy.

All of these are...RECYCLED ENERGY - a better solution for our country's energy supply, economy, and environment.
