CHP

CHP, or Combined Heat and Power, is an energy system that generates electricity and captures the heat produced during that process for useful purposes. Unlike traditional power plants that waste heat, CHP efficiently uses both electricity and thermal energy, providing power and heating simultaneously. This approach improves overall energy efficiency, reduces fuel consumption, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions. CHP systems are often employed in industrial facilities, hospitals, and large buildings to optimize energy use, leading to cost savings and a smaller environmental footprint.
