The terms cogeneration and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) are synonyms for the simultaneous production of hot water and supplemental electricity for on-site use. These "Micro CHP solutions" ( < 50 kW/hr) are often powered by an internal combustion engine, and they are easy to install in a variety of commercial applications. By using relatively low-cost natural gas to provide hot water solutions and supplemental electricity, a Micro CHP system enables a business to use less of the expensive electricity from the grid. Micro CHP technology is also remarkably efficient. When electricity travels over power lines it suffers measurable transmission and distribution (T&D) losses. Cogeneration reduces emissions of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants because less fuel is burned per unit of energy output and T&D losses are eliminated.
