A cryogenic and thermal source cogeneration method for converting energy from a heat source, through a cryogenic heat transfer process, into mechanical and/or electrical energy, comprising, utilizing a vapor compression cycle to absorb heat from the heat source and, utilizing a Rankine cycle for energy transfer, for converting thermal energy to mechanical and/or electrical energy. A cryogenic and thermal source cogeneration apparatus for converting energy from a heat source, through a cryogenic heat transfer process, into mechanical and/or electrical energy is also disclosed, comprising, vapor compression cycle mechanisms to absorb heat from the heat source, and Rankine cycle mechanisms for energy transfer, for converting thermal energy to mechanical and/or electrical energy. The Rankine cycle mechanisms being operably linked to the vapor compression cycle mechanisms.
