Marathon Engine Systems is a growing company focused on engineered products for prime and remote power applications. Our main product is the ecopower™ microcogeneration (microCHP) appliance. The COGENERATION tab above explains the various applications where small scale CHP can be a benefit. This is an established technology that is gaining acceptance in North America and is considered by some to be the "Future of Distributed Power Generation." Prime Remote Power is also an area of focus for Marathon. We have a number of products that can be applied to long term power needs for telecom sites, railroads, and oil field applications. Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in our products. If you have a special need that could be satisfied with our unique capabilites, please contact us at 262-642-6436 or use the Contact Us page
Energy Update

	Federal and State Incentives/ Rebates - CHP With the recent stimulus package passed by Congress, CHP has been given a 10% tax credit for Commercial applications. In addition, an accelerated depreciation schedule has been enacted for businesses. To date, there are no federal funds available for residential installations. States are becoming more aware of CHP technology and are changing their incentive and rebate policies on a regular basis. Check your local registry for your state's specific policies.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory Report "Combined Heat and Power Effective Energy Solutions for a Sustainable Future" A report by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory points out that more than two-thirds (67%) of fuel used to generate power in the U.S. is lost as waste heat. The report projects that if CHP were to produce 20% of all U.S. electricity by 2030 (several countries have already achieved this level): CO₂ emission reduction would be the equivalent to taking 154 million autos off the road (more than half the current U.S. fleet). More than 5 quadrillion (twenty four zeroes) Btu of fuel would be saved annually, equivalent to nearly half the current U.S. household energy consumption. The report notes that "few other technologies or practices can be implemented as economically or quickly as CHP" and concludes that "cost-effectiveness and near-term viability of widespread CHP deployment place the technology at the forefront of practical alternative energy solutions."
