InVerde technical
"Tecogen Inc.'s InVerde"
cogeneration technical
"high efficiency, ultra-clean, cogeneration products"
Cogeneration, also called combined heat and power (CHP), is a way to produce electricity and useful heat at the same time from a single fuel source. Like getting both a hot shower and a charged phone from one power outlet, it uses energy more efficiently than producing power and heat separately, cutting fuel costs, emissions, and reliance on external utilities—factors that can improve operating margins, cash flow stability, and regulatory incentives for investors.
combined heat and power technical
"engine-driven combined heat and power"
Combined heat and power (CHP) is a way to produce electricity and capture the waste heat that normally escapes from power generation to supply useful heating or cooling for a building or industrial process. Like cooking on a stove and using the same heat to warm the house, CHP makes energy use much more efficient, which can lower fuel costs, cut emissions, improve reliability, and affect an operator’s margins, capital needs and exposure to energy price or regulatory risks — all key factors for investors.
criteria pollutants technical
"nearly eliminate criteria pollutants"
A set of common air pollutants that regulators track and limit because they harm health, visibility, and the environment. Think of them as a short list of the usual suspects — substances like particulate matter, ozone-forming gases, and toxic chemicals — that facilities must monitor, report, and control. For investors, they matter because limits, permits, and compliance actions tied to these pollutants can affect operating costs, project timelines, and liability exposure.
SOC 2 technical
"a Tier 3, SOC 2, Cloud and AI data center"
SOC 2 is an independent auditor’s report that assesses whether a company follows strict practices to keep customer data secure, available, and private—think of it as a health inspection for how a business handles sensitive information. For investors, a SOC 2 report signals lower operational and reputational risk from data breaches or service disruptions and helps judge the reliability of a company or its suppliers when digital data handling is central to value.
