The Power of Cogeneration
On-Site Heat and Power
Combined heat and power (CHP) not only generates electricity — it also uses waste heat to provide heating and cooling. Developed in the late 1800s, cogeneration technology offers a high level of efficiency, lowering a facility’s emissions by 20-60%.
CHP Systems
Cover Thermal Loads
Sites with high thermal loads or high-heat processes are particularly good candidates for CHP.
Resiliency
CHP helps ensure resiliency during outages by utilizing natural gas supplied through underground pipelines.
Improve Efficiency
Cogeneration is 60-80% efficient, more than twice the efficiency of a utility power plant.
Phase Out Boilers
Installing a CHP-based microgrid gives facilities a chance to replace inefficient equipment and potentially phase out existing boiler usage.
Adaptability
A cogeneration microgrid that uses natural gas today can start integrating biogas or hydrogen with minimal adjustments.
Why Unison Energy
Savings
Reduce your gas and electricity bills by 5-20%. Our long-term contracts provide your enterprise with predictable pricing, insulating you from ever-increasing utility bills.
Resiliency
In an era of grid disruptions, reliable power matters for business continuity. When the utility is down, we keep your site fully operational for the duration of the outage.
No upfront capital investment
Pay only for the energy you use. We pay for equipment, engineering, construction, and maintenance, so you can avoid upfront costs and invest your capital in your core business.
Sustainability
Supporting your energy transition goals. Partnering with us can reduce your carbon footprint 20-60% and help you achieve ESG goals.
