CHP is an established but still modern technology.

HEATING AND COOLING: THE TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGE
1. HEATING AND COOLING:
THE TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGE
Description: CHP is an established but still modern technology. Already the first large scale power
plant, the Pearl Street Station, designed 1882 by Thomas Edison supplied parts of Lower Manhattan
with heat; CHP already provides for massive savings…and there is more potential. Combined with
district heating (and cooling) CHP is bringing the energy transformation to densely populated areas.
Heat storage can further strengthen the role of CHP in stabilising an increasingly renewable energy
system. Support both in a legal framework and financially is necessary to promote CHP.
