Let’s Talk

WHY CHP?
TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION

WHY CHP?

Increases power plant efficiency, thus reducing fuel costs and carbon emissions.

District energy systems are well suited for CHP because they expand the potential thermal load, reduce the requirement for capital investment, and provide economies of scale that enable other energy technologies to be more viable.

TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION

CenTrio Operates Three University CHP Systems

Consistent power and thermal demand allow CHP to operate continuously with high efficiency. The captured waste heat of the CHP can be reused for heating and cooling, decreasing electricity and fuel purchases. CHP is one of the most resilient power supplies when facing natural disasters.

Eastern Michigan University

The 6.2 MW CHP plays a critical role in providing cost-effective electricity and thermal energy to the campus.

Louisiana State University

LSU plans for natural disasters and the CHP is a key resiliency strategy during hurricane season.
