A combined heat and power plant in which air is compressed in a compressor, the compressed air is reacted with a fuel, producing high temperature, high pressure combustion products, the combustion products heat a first heat load whereby the combustion products are cooled to a temperature suitable for entry into an expander, and the cooled, high pressure combustion products are expanded in the expander which provides turning power to a power load such as a generator. Less than substantially 200% excess air and preferably less than substantially 20% excess air is compressed. The exhaust gas from the expander may optionally heat a second heat load. The first heat load may be the heating of a hydrocarbon and steam to promote steam methane reforming to form syngas. The second heat load may be a combination of boiling steam for reforming a hydrocarbon and heating a building or the like.
