EPA and Energy: GHG Reductions • Voluntary Programs • Climate Leaders • Energy Star • Green Power Partnership, CHP Partnership • Methane/High-GWP Programs • Measurement Tools Defining Leadership • Climate Leaders Inventory Protocol, IMP • Energy Star Benchmarking Tool for EE • Green Power Partnership Benchmark • Energy Star CHP Awards and Certificates • Clean Energy Policy Outreach • EPA Clean Energy/Environment State Partnership • Utility Commission Technical Assistance
EPA & Combined Heat and Power • The EPA CHP Partnership is a voluntary program that seeks to reduce the environmental impact of power generation by fostering the use of highly-efficient CHP • In the past 4 years, the CHPP has helped Partners put into operation more than 160 CHP projects representing 3,460 MW of capacity. • Provides annual GHG emissions reductions equal to emissions of 1.6 million cars.
What Can CHP Offer a Manufacturer? • Increased energy efficiency of production • Energy cost savings • Reliable electricity, steam and chilled water generation on-site • Hedge against unstable energy costs • Improved competitiveness • Reduced greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental benefits • Enhanced “green” image
What We Can Do for You Facilitate CHP Projects through: • Identification • Development • Implementation • Recognition
