United States of America — Energy ProfileCogeneration, also known as combined heat and power (CHP), is a highly efficient power generation technology that simultaneously produces electricity and useful heat from the same energy source. This process maximizes energy efficiency by capturing and utilizing the heat that would otherwise be wasted in conventional power generation methods, where only electricity is produced. Cogeneration systems can utilize various fuels, including natural gas, biomass, coal, and even waste heat from industrial processes, making it a versatile solution for different applications.
