Cogeneration—or combined heat and power (CHP)—creates multiple forms of useful energy from a sole source. In a standard generation system, the waste heat from producing electricity is released into the atmosphere. A CHP system captures and converts the exhaust to produce even more energy in the form of heating, cooling, or hot water.
