From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Cogeneration (also combined heat and power, CHP) is the use of a heat engine or a power station to make both electricity and useful heat at the same time. 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.
Instead of using twice the amount of fossil fuels to double the energy output, cogeneration creates a two-for-one energy production deal. Power plants that are located close to the buildings they supply power to can easily use cogeneration to supply electricity for lighting and hot water or steam for heating.he good news is that power plants that do use cogeneration today are much cleaner, safer, and less toxic than they used to be. Also, the benefits of reducing carbon emissions and conserving huge amounts of energy outweigh the possible downside of locating them closer to urban areas. 1  Add a Comment. 2  Print.
