Biomass CHPBiomass CHP is the use of Biomass fuels (e.g. wood waste, agricultural residues) in the simultaneous production of electricity and usable heat. This process offers distributed generation of electrical and/or mechanical power and waste heat recovery for space conditioning or water heating.Using biomass to fuel a CHP system offers many environmental and economic benefits over a traditional fossil fuel based system. These benefits include reduced greenhouse gas emissions, lower energy costs, reduced waste energy, and lower transmission and distribution losses. The Cooling, Heating and Power Technologies Program Team at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory works in the development of systems to explore the opportunities and adoption of Biomass CHP systems.
