About Us

The Mid Atlantic CHP Application Center will help organizations to locate, design and implement economically viable distributed energy projects that make appropriate use of their recoverable waste heat.

The Mid Atlantic Combined Heat and Power Application Center is based in the Center for Environmental Engineering at the University of Maryland. It was created with funding from the US DOE to promote the use of CHP in the Mid-Atlantic Region. The objectives of the Center are to reduce the perceived risk of CHP to users, foster CHP as a viable technical and economic option for the participating region, and to capitalize on existing regional CHP resources. A printable brochure is available here.
