Description |
| U.S. DOE CHP Technical Assistance Partnership |
We offer free site qualifications, feasibility analyses, and technical assistance to help determine if CHP, waste heat recovery, or district energy is a good fit for your site, both technically and financially. (For businesses outside of AZ, CO, NM, UT, WY, TX, or OK, contact the center in your region.) |
| Boiler MACT Technical Assistance (provided by DOE CHP TAPs) |
The DOE is offering technical assistance to the more than 650 facilities across the U.S. affected by Boiler MACT air pollution standards, to ensure that major sources burning coceacal or oil have information on cost-effective clean energy strategies for compliance, including CHP. Technical assistance includes site visits to discuss and assess strategies, as well as info on funding and financing opportunities for CHP, boiler tune-ups, and/or energy assessments. |
