Study 48b – Publication of lessons learnt on waste heat / public summary

At a time when the energy transition is becoming a strategic imperative for industry, the recovery of waste heat is emerging as an essential lever.

Accessible, quick to implement and cost-effective, waste heat recovery enables industrial sites to immediately reduce their fossil fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions, whilst boosting their competitiveness. However, each site has its own specific potential, and solutions must be tailored to the site and its technical, economic and organisational constraints.

It is with this aim of providing practical support to manufacturers that the ALLICE Alliance is today publishing a report featuring seven case studies illustrating a variety of long-standing projects, highlighting the robustness of these solutions, which have been tried and tested in the field.
 
Manufacturers and solution providers share their collaborations and case studies on specific projects involving the recovery and utilisation of waste heat across a range of sectors. The case studies particularly highlight the longevity of the installations, with operating periods ranging from 2 to 10 years.

Each fact sheet presents:

• the scope of the project and the process concerned,
• the decision-making criteria that guided the choice of solution,
• the progress of the project (timeline, funding),
• as well as the results achieved in terms of energy savings.
