For many people, a large industrial boiler burning natural gas to produce steam for use in a manufacturing process is not the image that comes to mind when considering green energy technologies.

As with other environmentally friendly sources of energy such as solar panels, wind turbines, or fuel cells, these combined heat and power (CHP) systems can be eligible for significant federal, state, and local incentives.
