3. Cogeneration
   A facility in which two or more forms of energy are generated simultaneously or interchangeably. Commonly, a cogeneration facility produces steam for an industrial or commercial process and uses some of the steam to turn a turbine that generates electricity. Another type of cogeneration arrangement ...

8. Cogeneration
   `Cogeneration` (also `combined heat and power`, `CHP`) is the use of a heat engine or a power station to simultaneously generate both electricity and useful heat. All power plants emit a certain amount of heat during electricity generation. This can be released into the natural environment through c...
