Net Metered CHP
Generating both heat and electricity in a single system (combined heat and power, or CHP) is the most efficient use of an energy resource. In a biomass system, this approach offers savings or revenue opportunities, which can dramatically improve return on investment. Additionally, CHP offers the ability to generate electricity in remote areas, where reliable grid energy may not be available.
CASE STUDY
