Nov. 9, 2005: Combined Heat And Power Projects Earn EPA Recognition
WASHINGTON - Ten U.S. companies and institutions have been recognized for exemplary combined heat and power (CHP) projects by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The organizations were recognized at the 6th Annual National CHP Roadmap Workshop.
Each of the 13 recognized projects meet EPA criteria for efficiency and fuel savings, and make outstanding contributions to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from energy generation, says EPA. The projects represent annual savings of over 2.2 million metric tons of carbon equivalent, which is comparable to removing the annual greenhouse gas emissions of 366,000 cars.
