combined heat and power (chp) systems
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems, also known as cogeneration systems, refer to efficient energy systems that produce both electricity and usable heat/thermal energy simultaneously from a single fuel source. This process helps maximize energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to separate electricity generation and heat production methods.
