Our latest video highlights the incredible potential of industrial waste heat recovery and its impact on the EU's energy transition.
Key Facts:
Current Heat Production from Solid Fossil Fuels:
In 2022, the EU generated approximately 118 TWh of heat from solid fossil fuels, primarily coal. This amount of energy is equivalent to the heat supply for 20 million households per year.
Potential Waste Heat Recovery:
There's an untapped potential of 100 TWh/year for waste heat recovery below 200°C, which can substitute the heat production from solid fossil fuels.
This comparison underlines the great opportunity for Europe to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and move towards a more sustainable energy future. By investing in technologies to recover and utilize waste heat, we can make significant progress in reducing CO2 emissions and improving energy efficiency.
Watch our video to learn more about how waste heat recovery can revolutionize the energy landscape and support the EU’s climate goals. 🌟
Let's drive the change towards a greener future together! 💚
