Why should you invest in CHP?
CHP can use the thermal heat which is traditionally wasted in power stations enabling energy savings of up to 40%. CHP is a recognised sustainable way of generating electricity which can be sold back to the National Grid (subject to regional DNO T&C's) or used within a private wire network to supply homes and businesses.
Feb 7, 2024 · Also known as “cogeneration,” CHP systems generate electrical power while capturing thermal energy that would otherwise be wasted. The captured heat is applied to on-site loads, creating a highly efficient, reliable, and resilient district energy system.

Patents
If you're looking for much deeper technical detail, patents are a good place to start. Here are a few recent ones covering CHP and cogeneration: 1. US20140260218 A1: Combined heat and power (CHP) system by Jan Hubertus Deckers, Dejatech, 18 September 2014. Includes detailed technical drawings of a modern CHP system (engine, heat exchanger, and generator). 2. EP2372897 A3: Generator apparatus for a combined heat and power systemby Tom Collins, Bosch, 14 May 2014. Describes a generator for CHP....
Oct 24, 2024 · CHP can act to decarbonise on two fronts: power generation as well as the heat that’s produced as a product of electricity generation. Rather than allowing it to escape, as is usual, it can be captured and the thermal energy used to heat/cool buildings or simply provide hot water.
CHP can be a highly efficient and cost-effective way to generate electricity and heat. It can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower energy costs for businesses and households alike. However, it's important to note that CHP is not a silver bullet solution for sustainability.
Jan 22, 2013 · By generating heat and power simultaneously, CHP can reduce carbon emissions by up to 30% compared to the separate means of conventional generation via a boiler and power station.
