Cogeneration
Production of two useful forms of energy such as high-temperature heat and electricity from the same process. For example, while boiling water to generate electricity, the leftover steam can be sold for industrial processes or space heating. (source: EPA) Background from Wikipedia Cogeneration (also combined heat and power or CHP) is the use of a heat engine or a power station to simultaneously generate both electricity and useful heat. Conventional power plants emit the heat created as a byproduct of electricity generation into the environment through cooling towers, as flue gas, or by other means. CHP captures the byproduct heat for domestic or industrial heating purposes, either very close to the plant, or - especially in Scandinavia and eastern Europe - for distribution through pipes to heat local housing (district heating). Byproduct heat at moderate temperatures (100 to 180°C) can also be used in absorption refrigerators for cooling, that is production of "cold". A plant producing electricity, heat and cold is sometimes called trigeneration or more generally: polygeneration plant. Cogeneration is thermodynamically the most efficient use of fuel. In separate production of electricity some energy must be rejected as waste heat, whereas in separate production of heat the potential for production of high quality energy (electricity or work) is lost (see exergy).
