Steam engines are used to produce electricity. The higher the water temperature provided is the more electricity is provided. You can see that when you hover over a steam engine; it displays the possible and current power production. Don't be irritated when you don't produce full power, then there is not needed more.

The engine is not blocking the flow so its possible to chain multiple engines.

Steam engines themselves don't produce any pollution. (Boiler does!)
