CHP Supplies Clean and Reliable Energy CHP is a realistic, near-term option for large energy effciency improvements and signifcant CO 2 reductions. CHP can reduce CO 2 emissions, offset imported energy, create job opportunities, and improve local economies. The adoption of CHP empowers individuals, companies, and communities by providing local energy solutions. • Provides the reliable and affordable energy service that is required for economic growth • Improves the resiliency of our energy infrastructure • Operates with domestically produced and renewable fuels • Offers businesses security against service interruptions due to natural or man-made disasters • Provides businesses and the nation with a competitive advantage from improved energy-effciency CHP stimulates the economy by utilizing local labor forces and largely domestically-produced components CHP Savings Potential 240 Gigawatts (the equivalent of 200-300 coal-fred power plants) 5 Quads of energy savings 848 million metric tons of annual CO 2 emissions reduction COMBINED HEAT AND POWER (CHP) 0 200 mil. 400 mil. 600 mil. 800 mil. 1,000 mil. 2006 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 CHP Energy Savings (Quads) CO 2 Reduction (Metric Tons) U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGIES PROGRAM *Based on a scenario in which 20% of generation capacity in 2030 is met with CHP CHP Energy Savings (Quads) CO 2 Reduction (Metric Tons)
