Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is the term used when electrical energy is made onsite and the waste heat from the engine is utilized for a heating application such as making hot water or space heating.

Normally electric power is made at remote locations where the waste heat cannot be used. Another consideration is that transmission and transformation losses are often up to 15%.

Many experts state that the national energy consumption of the USA could be reduced by up to 40% if CHP were implemented nationwide.
