thats correct, and in general electrikery production the amount of heat produced can be seen as a waste product but in an rare application like mchp the heat is being utilised. Heats still gotta be in demand tho, so the climate has to be suited to the heat generation. Lower the heat and broaden the application. In a sceanrio where little heat is produced the uptake of cfu units would be unfathomable but I guess youd be calling the something other than chp (combined heat power), lowering the heat too much of course means youd potentially have to use power to make heat. So a neat balance is called for, from memory the heat from CFU's rigs has an application for around 8 months of the year and thus is to a degree (pun) a waste product for a few months of the year...this will have implications on the carbon status of the units if the heat isnt in demand.
Being able to vary the heat output down to very low levels would be ideal.
On the issue of whos developing what, as with all new progress applications need to be found, factories built, policies formed, investors found, accreditation/approvals granted, volume suppliers sourced and most importantly.. customers generated.
