Micro CHP Blog
This blog is dedicated to micro chp technology and the wonderful savings that a micro chp system can bring you!

Micro CHP Systems: Market Trends
This page explores the current market trends for micro CHP, including future projections and the current state of commercialization of these systems. As micro CHP penetrates the market further, prices for installation and maintenence should fall.

Micro CHP: Types of fuel that can be used
One of the great benefits and promises of micro chp technology is the fact that "green" fuels can be used. Micro chp can use biomass, solar, and wood gas.

Micro CHP systems: The cost savings
Micro CHP systems generate electricty and then recover the excess heat that is generated in a way that allows it to be used to heat the home. This is called cogeneration, and is both cost efficient and will reduce CO2 emissions.

Indiana Track and Casino Bets on Standby Power System from MTU Onsite Energy
