Is CHP environmentally friendly?
One of the benefits of CHP systems is that they are more environmentally friendly than conventional power plants. There are two reasons for this. First, since CHP systems are very efficient, they produce more useful energy and send less energy into the atmosphere versus conventional power plants for the same amount of fossil fuel burned. Second, because they are usually located near populated areas, they tend to have more stringent environmental conditions placed on them than conventional power plants. Installing a CHP system will result in energy savings and reduction of carbon and greenhouse gas emissions.
