Since power from CHP is generated on-site, CHP avoids transmission losses that typically result from moving electricity over power lines.

Unlike conventional combined heat and power (CHP) applications, micro-CHP produces relatively small amounts of heat and electricity.

Combined heat and power (CHP) systems have long been used to generate electricity and use the waste heat for other purposes, especially for industrial processes.

The potential efficiency savings from such projects are immense, says Neal Elliott, an expert on combined heat and power (CHP) systems with the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.

Supermarket giant Tesco has recently been given a green light to build Britain's first ever straw-powered Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant to meet the electricity and heating needs of one of its distribution centres.

BBC: Time to encourage biomass growth

Combined heat and power (CHP) and district-heating systems delivered a whopping 36, 392 tons of avoided carbon emissions in 2010, which accounted for 50% of all carbon emissions reductions, according to an analysis released last week by the Greater London Authority (GLA).

For example, conventional CHP systems commonly produce enough heat and power for large, mulit-buildings hospitals.

By contrast, micro-CHP systems are typically sized to produce heat and power for a modestly sized home.

Unlike some clean-energy technologies (e.g. solar photovoltaics), CHP does not depend heavily on government largesse to walk the chalk in de-regulated electric power markets like those in New York State.
