About CHP |
About USCHPA |
|
Combined heat and power (CHP) technologies produce both electricity and steam from a single fuel at a facility located near the consumer. These efficient systems recover heat that normally would be wasted in an electricity generator, and save the fuel that would otherwise be used to produce heat or steam in a separate unit. Currently supplying twelve percent (12%) of U.S. generating capacity, CHP systems can reach efficiencies above eighty percent (80%). There is approximately 82 GW of CHP installed in the U.S. Industry estimates indicate the technical potential for additional CHP at existing sites in the U.S. is approximately 130 GW, plus an additional 10 GW of waste heat recovery CHP. This represents heat and power generating capacity that is readily available, provided policies are established to support further CHP deployment.
Key benefits of CHP:
|
USCHPA’s mission is to increase deployment of combined heat and power systems in the U.S. in the industrial, commercial/institutional and residential sectors. Operating under the principle that “all CHP is good”, USCHPA provides superior advocacy, networking, education, and market information to companies in the business of CHP and works to develop sound clean energy policy and marketplace solutions that support investment in combined heat and power. USCHPA documents the benefits of combined heat and power to the public and to decision-makers. We sponsor conferences and workshops and prepare reports to educate the public about CHP. What is more, we create opportunities for our members to network with each other, and with key government officials, to promote greater understanding of the benefits of CHP and to ensure a strong foundation for the industry. |
