Description

Combined heat and power (CHP), or cogeneration, systems currently produce nearly 8 percent of U.S. electric power. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that integrated CHP systems can save about 40 percent of the input energy that conventional systems of separate heat and power require. This market insight provides an extensive assessment of the biomass cogeneration market in the United States. Topics include: the market overview; the installed capacity by end user; primary incentives and mandates influencing technology adoption; market drivers and restraints; and technology trends.
