9 What is Combined Heat and Power (CHP)? A method of simultaneously generating thermal energy (heat) and electricity Fuel agnostic Often in an integrated system Not a specific technology, but an application of currently available technologies Typically composed of mechanical components manufactured in the United States Flexible and resilient Source: ACEEE - http://www.aceee.org

10 How CHP Works Source: www.combinedheatandpower.com

11 Increased Efficiency & Reduced Emissions

12 Applications for CHP Large CHP (>20 MW) Industrial sites Colleges and universities District energy systems Mid-Size CHP (1-20 MW) High-growth industrial applications Manufacturing and assembly plants Institutional, military and government facilities Large commercial sites District energy systems Small CHP (<1 MW) Source: DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy

13 CHP Generators Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Annual Electric Generator Report

14 State CHP Potential (MW) Source: IEA - http://www.iea.org/media/files/chp/profiles/us.pdf

15 State CHP Potential (Sites) Source: IEA - http://www.iea.org/media/files/chp/profiles/us.pdf

16 CHP is a Cost Effective Electricity Resource Source: http://mn.gov/commerce/energy/images/DG-Haefke-CHP.pdf

17 Benefits of CHP Uses existing, proven technology Improve system efficiency Diversify energy supplies Reduce emissions Increase business competitiveness Enhance resilience/energy security Source: DOE Combined Heat and Power: Effective Energy Solutions for a Sustainable Future, 2008

18 Increasing the Security and Resilience of the Energy System

19 Generally refers to capturing waste heat that a building, industrial site or power plant is already emitting Use recovered heat to generate clean thermal energy (hot water, steam, chilled water) or clean electricity. Opportunity to vastly improve industrial energy efficiency, competitiveness of U.S. industrial sector, and provide a source of pollution-free energy Opportunity: Waste Heat Recovery

20 How Can it be Used? Heating and cooling buildings Heating and cooling processes Heating domestic hot water Snowmelt Generate electricity Other thermal process needs Source: DOE - http://www1.eere.energy.gov/manufacturing/tech_deployment/pdfs/wasteheatrecovery_factsheet.pdf

21 Who is Encouraging CHP and Recovery of Waste Heat? U.S. Department of Energy U.S. Environmental Protection Agency U.S. Armed Forces U.S. Energy Information Agency International Energy Agency International District Energy Association American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy

22 Questions? www.districtenergy.org Robert P. Thornton President & CEO International District Energy Association 24 Lyman Street, Suite 230 Westborough, MA 01581 rob.idea@districtenergy.org +1-508-366-9339
