Washington, D.C. (March 14, 2022) — On Monday, March 14, the Combined Heat and Power Alliance (CHP Alliance) submitted comments on the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and the Council on Climate Solutions’ draft MI Healthy Climate Plan. The draft plan includes many strategies to reduce emissions, however, there are additional opportunities to realize emissions reductions, especially in the buildings and industrial sectors. Technologies such as combined heat and power (CHP) and waste heat to power (WHP) can help to increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions, especially in these sectors. In Michigan, CHP has the potential to reduce emissions in the buildings and industrial sectors, helping the state to achieve its goal of 100% economy-wide carbon neutrality by 2050.
