Combined Heat and Power in the Energy Transition  

Written By Darra Kubera

The Combined Heat and Power (CHP) market is changing quickly. 90% of the CHP systems installed since 2020 provide resilient power and heating/cooling to commercial buildings and critical infrastructure facilities in a cost-effective way. Clean fuels, synergies with renewable energy technologies, and incentives position CHP (also called cogeneration) as an essential contributor to the energy transition. This webinar will present how federal buildings and critical infrastructure can benefit from the deployment of clean energy technologies and the technical assistance provided at no cost by the Department of Energy.

PRESENTER

Carlos Gamarra is Senior Research Scientist for Clean Energy Technology at the Houston Advanced Research Center and Assistant Director of the US DOE’s Southcentral CHP TAP. His research focus is on energy technology applications with decarbonization and resilience goals at the community level.  cgamarra@harcresearch.org
