Are you looking to generate non-renewable energy on-site and improve the resiliency of your facility?

COMBINED HEAT & POWER (CHP) AND FUEL CELLS

Most CHP systems include a natural gas-fueled combined cycle combustion turbine to produce both steam and electricity from a single fuel source located on-site. These highly efficient technologies recover the heat that would otherwise be wasted during the generation of electricity and make use of that heat for commercial or industrial processes. This thermal energy may be used for direct heating, as a source for producing hot water or steam, or even for space conditioning and dehumidification.
