Unit that uses waste heat created by one process to produce steam which in turn is used to spin a turbine to generate electricity.

a generating facility that produces electricity and another form of useful thermal energy (such as heat or steam) used for industrial, commercial, heating, and cooling purposes. To receive status as a qualifying facility (QF) under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA), the facility must produce electric energy and "another form of useful thermal energy through the sequential use of energy," and meet certain ownership, operating, and efficiency criteria established by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). (See the Code of Federal Regulation, Title 18, Part 292.)

a modern, highly efficient generator that produces hot water and steam as well as electricity

A facility that produces electricity and/or other energy for heating and cooling.

A generating facility that produces electricity and another form of useful thermal energy (such as heat or steam), that is used for industrial, commercial, heating, or cooling purposes.

Cogenerators use the waste heat created by one process, for example during manufacturing, to produce steam which is used, in turn, to spin a turbine and generate electricity.

A class of energy producer that produces both heat and electricity from a single fuel.

An entity that produces electricity and useful thermal energy (such as heat or steam) that is used for industrial or commercial, heating or cooling.
