From Grid to Green: The Impact of CHP on the Energy Transition

With the energy transition underway, many businesses and countries throughout the world have committed to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. To reach this decarbonization goal, we will need to address one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions: the production of electricity and heat, which accounts for approximately 73% of our global emissions.

Just as a beautiful symphony needs all its instruments, the net-zero transition relies on integrating a combination of technologies. However, is it possible that combined heat and power (CHP)-a historically combustion-based technology-deserves a part in this symphony?
