Could your business save money on energy costs with Combined Heat and Power (CHP)?
CHP is the simultaneous production of electrical power and useful thermal energy from a single fuel source. Given a facility with
appropriate thermal and electrical load profiles, a CHP system utilizing such fuels can substantially reduce a site’s total energy
expenditures and simultaneously reduce its carbon footprint.
