A system comprised of Honda's compact household cogeneration unit and hot-water heater unit which uses exhaust heat has been sold through utility gas companies under the brand name of ECOWILL. Honda's compact household cogeneration unit achieves a high total energy efficiency of 85.5%, and the effect of CO2 emission reduction achieved by 50,000 units of ECOWILL is equivalent to saving approximately 42,000 tons, or 3 million trees per year.[1]

As people become increasingly conscious of environmental issues, the demand for compact household cogeneration systems is steadily increasing. A federation of three major trade organizations in the gas energy industry in Japan, the Japan Gas Association, the Conference of LP Gas Associated Organizations, and the Japan Community Gas Association, which collaborate for the shared goal of promoting use of gas energy, has announced a goal to sell a total of 235,000 units of ECOWILL by March 31, 2011.[2]
