Cogeneration units, also known as combined heat and power (CHP) systems, produce heat and electricity simultaneously. They recover some of the wasted energy from conventional boilers and use it to produce heat and electricity, making them more energy-efficient than separate power and heat generating systems. They do not produce cooling, use a battery, or use heat from the Earth.
