This is a nat gas condensing furnace (107% efficiency) with a stirling engine running a 1kW generator. Producing 1kW of electricity also produces 5kW of heat energy, with the option for more heat if needed.

This is great info.
I searched but could not find anything that was not

This kind of thing may show up in Europe sooner than in the US (we're too busy dropping bombs to develop efficient home heating).
Let us know if anything turns up.
