This seems very promising:

Extract from ACHR News

This is still largely true, but a new product has entered the scene: a residential heating appliance that can create electricity from the energy it’s already using to create the heat. It’s a collaboration between Climate Energy LLC and American Honda Motor Co.

The technology is called combined heat and power (CHP), and industrial systems have been using it for some time. Converting heat energy into electricity is the basis of most power plants. Doing it on such a small scale, though, is new. It’s like having a miniature power plant attached to a customer’s furnace or boiler. And it’s here now.

“This is real,” said Eric Guyer, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Climate Energy. “The technology is ready today and will change the way the home heating industry does business.”

The efficiency of generating heat and power from the same equipment “is something that Thomas Edison recognized with his first power plant,” Guyer mused. Until now, figuring out how to generate energy reliably on a very small scale has been the sticking point.

Entering The Market
The system was unveiled at Boston’s Museum of Science April 26. According to Climate Energy, the products will be offered “through certified and experienced home heating contractors.

Limited field test installations will be conducted this year in coordination with state and local authorities and energy utilities.” Further penetration in specific regions is expected in 2006.
