What fuels can be used in CHP systems?
CHP systems are “fuel-neutral,” which means that they can run on a variety of fuel types, such as natural gas, biomass, biogas, coal, waste heat, or oil. The type of fuel used depends on availability and the type of prime mover employed. More information about the fuels available for different prime movers can be found in the Catalog of CHP Technologies. In addition, information specific to biomass-fueled CHP can be found on the Biomass CHP page and in the Biomass CHP Catalog of Technologies.
