What is CHP and How Does It Work?
Combined Heat and Power (CHP), also known as cogeneration, is the smarter way to produce energy. Instead of wasting fuel like traditional power plants, CHP systems generate electricity and capture the heat that would normally be lost. It turns into useful energy for heating, hot water, steam, or even cooling. The result? Efficiency levels of over 80%, and in some cases up to 90%.
With CHP, you’re not just saving fuel—you’re saving money. By combining power and heat in one system, businesses can cut energy costs by as much as 30% while reducing reliance on the grid. Even better, CHP keeps your operations running 24/7, providing reliable backup power during outages and ensuring business continuity.
CHP is also a cleaner choice. By maximizing energy use, emissions are significantly reduced compared to conventional separate power and heat production. For industries like greenhouses, CHP goes one step further. It captures CO₂ can be repurposed as a natural fertiliser, boosting plant growth while lowering environmental impact.
