Combined Heat and Power Quality Assurance (CHPQA)

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is the simultaneous generation of heat and power in a single process and provides one of the most cost-effective methods for reducing carbon emissions; it also plays a crucial role in the UK Climate Change programme.

The CHP Quality Assurance programmes (CHPQA) is the Government initiative that provides a practical approach to assessing all types and sizes of CHP schemes in the UK.
