Market Definition
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is an energy-efficient technology that generates electricity and captures waste heat for heating or cooling purposes, all from a single fuel source. It's used to enhance energy efficiency, cut costs, reduce emissions, and bolster grid resilience. By utilizing waste heat that would otherwise be discarded, CHP systems achieve efficiencies of up to 80-90%, compared to around 30-40% for traditional power plants. This makes CHP ideal for industrial, commercial, and residential settings, offering a sustainable and cost-effective solution for meeting energy needs while minimizing environmental impact.
