Well-applied combined heat and power (CHP) is the most efficient method of generating electricity and useful thermal energy, producing substantially less emissions per MWhe compared to other combustion-based power generation technologies. This report explains how to apply the Greenhouse Gas Protocol for Project Accounting (Project Protocol) to quantify and report reductions in emissions resulting from onsite CHP projects that reduces electricity generated on the grid. Use of the Project Protocol captures the full emissions reduction impact realized from CHP systems, including impacts outside the boundaries of the host facility.
