Get Involved
The Heat is Power Association needs you to help advance this important component of our energy future. We advocate for federal, state and local recognition of Waste Heat to Power as a reliable, abundant and emission-free source of electricity. We are working to eliminate barriers to WHP deployment, gain inclusion of WHP as an emission-free resource in state and federal clean energy programs such as renewable portfolio and energy efficiency standards, and obtain equivalent tax treatment for WHP with other sources of emission-free electricity.

ADVOCACY EFFORTS
The definition of Waste Heat to Power:
Industrial waste heat captured as the byproduct of a process whose primary purpose is not the generation of electricity from a fossil fuel. This specifically includes waste heat on industrial manufacturing facilities, oil and gas processing facilities, pressure let down stations, flared gases, and exhaust heat from landfill gas generation facilities.
ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL
Contacting your elected officials:
- Ask your Senators to introduce the Heat is Power Act (HR2812). Although it has been introduced as a bipartisan bill in the U.S. House of Representatives, we are still working on seeing the companion bill introduced in the Senate. Sample Letter to U.S. Senate
- Ask your Representative to co-sponsor the Heat is Power Act (2812). The Act is currently sponsored by Representative Ron Paul (R-TX), Representative Paul Tonko (D-NY), Representative Shelly Berkley (D-NV), and Representative Jay Inslee (D-WA).

Supporting Federal Legislation
The bipartisan Heat is Power Act has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Representatives Ron Paul (R-TX), Paul Tonko (D-NY), Jay Inslee (D-WA), and Shelly Berkley (D-NV), which offers parity to industrial waste heat with other forms of emission-free power. The bill offers waste heat a 30% investment tax credit, or a 2.1 c/kwhr production tax credit. You can read the text of the bill by clicking: Heat is Power Act
