{{Template:Climate badge}}
The CHPA lobbies the government to take full advantage of CHP technology, seeing 'efficient generation' as a key aspect of climate change policy.
Members include major UK generation and distribution networks. The CHPA shares offices at [[Grosvenor Gardens]] with a number of other carbon trading, offsetting and renewables/greenwash lobbyists. Ex-Director of the CHPA [[David Green]] is now CEO of the [[UK Business Council for Sustainable Energy]], based in the same building.

In their own words:

'The aim of the CHPA is to promote the wider use of combined heat and power and community heating. To do this, the Association works with its members, Government and other non-Government organisations to:

* address the barriers that currently face CHP and Community Heating;
* ensure that when Government policies are developed they allow CHP and Community Heating to play their full role in delivering economic, social and environmental benefits to the UK;
* educate and inform Government, business and the wider community about the benefits of CHP and the great potential that exists in the UK to take advantage of it. '<ref>CHPA What we do [http://www.chpa.co.uk/ About Us], Accessed 9/11/09</ref>

==Connection with waste incinerator industry==
CHPA members include companies that operate waste incinerators. Incinerators have become highly controversial because of their polluting record and alleged links with disease. The incineration industry has tried to rebrand its facilities as 'waste-to-energy' or 'combined heat and power' plants, in an attempt to associate it with environmentally friendly recycling.

For example, the [[SELCHP Waste to Energy Facility]] in London is a member of the CHPA.<ref>[http://www.chpa.co.uk/about_us/members_directory.shtml CHPA Members], CHPA website, accessed 28 Nov 2009</ref>
