“We believe a reliable, affordable and climate-friendly energy system can be built with the following collaborative efforts: - building a robust evidence-base demonstrating the benefits of cogeneration; - using the expertise of its membership; and - establishing strong coalitions and partnerships. Cogeneration (also known as combined heat and power or CHP) is the simultaneous production of electricity and thermal energy, for example to be used in further economic processes. In order to maximise the many benefits that arise from the adoption of CHP, systems should be designed and located close to the demand for heat.”
