Editorial by Elizabeth Cutright, Distributed Energy magazine
December 15th, 2008
Most of us are aware of the benefits of installing a CHP system: increased efficiency,
less pollution, and lower operating costs. For example, an industrial facility using
CHP can ramp up its energy efficiency to 89%, a nice increase from the typical 55%
efficiency of most conventional systems. With those kinds of savings, it’s no wonder
CHP has been a popular “go to” onsite energy source – but is it popular enough?
