Combined Heat and Power (CHP) generation is the generation of heat and electricity from a single fuel input such as gas or oil. In contrast to traditional national grid power generation stations, where the heat produced during production is typically wasted to atmosphere, Combined Heat and Power generation captures this heat and diverts it to useful sources such as hot water, steam or hot air.


CHP plants can burn a range of fuels inluding natural gas, LPG, landfill gas, biogas, kerosone, diesel and vegetable oil.
Unlike large national grid power plants, Combined Heat and Power units come in all sizes ranging from small fridge-sized units for household generation, to boiler-sized units for commercial applications.
On-site CHP generation is typically twice as efficient as remote national grid generation and produces energy at a fraction of national grid tariffs.
