Minnesota Combined Heat and Power Potential: Technical, Economic & Policy Assessment Two reports and a policy brief covering results from a CARD-funded study on combined heat and power (CHP) potential in Minnesota. One report describes the extent and characteristics of existing CHP capacity, provides an estimate of market size (constrained only by technology limits), and assesses the potential for CHP based on the economics of a range of CHP technologies. The second assesses alternative approaches to potential changes in Minnesota policies and programs to increase implantation of CHP. The policy brief summarizes key results from both.
