Combined Heat and Power

Carbon dioxide pollution costs us a lot to eliminate it. Since 1990, the US greenhouse (a building used for growing plants) gas emissions increase at an average of 1 percent per year. According to Energy Information Administration, the rate is nearly the same as average annual growth of US population and the primary energy consumption. Although the greenhouse gas emissions had been reduced because of the reduction of methane and nitrous, it is still a serious problem in our society. The harm of it only includes damage of humanity health, but also spending of social income, which would add to the burden of our economy. Fortunately, US Environmental Protection Agency has come up with a solution—the installation of CHP (Combined Heat and Power). “CHP is and efficient, clean, and reliable approach to generating power and thermal energy from a single fuel source.” (Want to see more information?

The government is now promoting CHP by setting up voluntary partnership, which would in some means economize our huge spending on eliminating pollution every year. The example of greenhouse gas emission and solution for it is like an environmental economic model: people need to find a way to reduce the pollution in case of spending less money on it and generate more benefits from it.
