Is Combined Heat and Power the Answer?

While many New York institutions have made the decision to invest in combined heat and power (CHP), others hesitate, despite the profusion of public money available to support on-site generation. Experts on two panels will discuss the history and future of CHP in New York State, and the diverse reasons institutions have decided both for and against implementation.

A Frank Discussion of the Merits and Limitations of Cogeneration

Venue: Adelphi University, Garden City, NY. Dixon Lovely Ballroom of the Ruth S. Harley University Center, second floor.

Panel 1: CHP in New York State: What Have We Learned So Far, and What Are Future Trends?

Join us for a 30,000-foot view of the CHP market. We will look at the overall experience of end users and learn from past mistakes and successes. And we will turn toward the future, investigating the drivers and value streams that CHP has to offer and ways to overcome barriers to implementation. From incentives to policies, this panel will highlight all the essential trends decision-makers need to know before committing their institutions to heading down the path to cogeneration.
