The Northeast Clean Heat and Power Initiative is a group of individuals, organizations, and state and federal agencies, committed to promoting and implementing Combined Heat & Power (CHP, cogeneration), District Heating, and Waste Heat Recovery in the Northeastern United States.
Combined Heat and Power (CHP or cogeneration) is the use of a heat engine or a power station to simultaneously generate both electricity and useful heat. It is one of the most common forms of energy recycling.
District Energy (also called district heating and district cooling) refers to generating any combination of electricity, steam, heating, or cooling at a central plant and then distributing that energy to a network of nearby buildings.
Waste Heat Recovery generally refers to capturing heat that an industrial site or pipeline compressor station is already producing, but not using. This recovered heat energy can then be converted into clean, renewable electricity or mechanical energy, or can be recycled as thermal energy.
