Cogeneration, also known as combined heat and power (CHP), involves using a heat engine or power station to simultaneously generate electricity and useful heat. This improves efficiency by reducing heat losses. Cogeneration first emerged in the late 19th century in Europe and the US, when industrial plants generated their own electricity using steam turbine generators. One of the earliest uses of cogeneration was Thomas Edison's 1882 Pearl Street Station, which produced both electricity and thermal energy for neighboring buildings. Cogeneration systems today can achieve overall efficiencies between 65-90%, higher than many other methods, while reducing energy waste and carbon footprint. Turtle Turbines is a reputed steam turbine manufacturer in India.

The cogeneration term is not new.
It first appeared in the late 1880s in Europe and in the early 20th century in the
United States, when most industrial plants generated their own electricity using coal-
fired boilers and Steam Turbine Generators.
Perhaps the first modern use of energy recycling was done by Thomas Edison.
His 1882 Pear Street Station, the world’s first commercial power plant, was a
combined heat and power plant producing both thermal and electrical energy while
using waste heat to warm neighboring buildings.
Many of these plants used exhaust steam for industrial.
According to COGEN Europe, an advocacy group based in Belgium, cogeneration
produced as much as 58% of the total power from on-site industrial power plants in
the United States in the early 1990s.
Cogeneration or Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is the use of a heat engine or
power station to generate electricity and useful heat at the same time.
Heat losses are reduced and efficiency is increased when cogeneration is used to
supply heat to various applications and facilities.
Typical cogeneration systems have overall efficiencies ranging from 65% to 90%.
Cogeneration is more efficient due to the levels of fuel that are used.
