Cogeneration

Cogeneration is like a magical machine that can do two things at once - heat your house and make electricity too!

So, imagine that your house needs heat, which usually comes from your furnace, and at the same time, you need electricity to power your lights, TV, and other appliances. Now, instead of having two separate machines for heating and electricity, cogeneration combines them into one.

It's like baking cookies and using the heat from the oven to warm up your house too! Cogeneration can use different sources of fuel like natural gas, coal, or biomass to create heat and electricity at the same time.

This not only saves energy and resources but it's also more efficient because you're using the heat that would otherwise be wasted in traditional power generation. So, it's like doing two tasks with the power of one machine.

In simpler words, cogeneration is like having a robot that can cook your dinner and do your homework at the same time, which makes it super cool and efficient!
