That's one of the best opportunities for greenhouse gas reduction that exists. Now I admit I may be biased: I'm associated with Recycled Energy Development, a company that does CHP and its sister technology, waste energy recovery. But the reason I'm involved is the massive potential. EPA and DOE studies suggest those two technologies could slash greenhouse gas emissions by 20% in the U.S. That's as much as if we took every passenger vehicle off the road. Meanwhile, costs would fall due to increased efficiency. We should do much more of this. It’s great that Frito Lay is doing combined heat & power (CHP) now.
