Micro Combined Heat & Power (CHP) is the simultaneous production of heat and electricity in individual homes. Effectively the micro CHP unit replaces the gas central heating boiler and provides heat and hot water as usual, but additionally provides the majority of the home's electricity needs. It is anticipated that, ultimately, micro CHP may provide 20% or so of the UK's electricity generating capacity, more than is currently obtained from nuclear power. The following articles describe the technical, economic, social and environmental aspects of this technology in greater detail. |
