Did you know that capturing and reusing waste heat from industrial processes can significantly enhance energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and optimize economic performance? 📈

Waste heat recovery (WHR) systems are becoming increasingly crucial in the pursuit of sustainable industrial practices. By harnessing the potential of otherwise lost heat, industries can generate electricity, preheat combustion air, or supply district heating networks. 🏭💡

However, integrating WHR systems comes with its own set of challenges. The variability of waste heat sources, the need for process-specific integration, and the importance of continuous operation are critical factors to consider. 🔧

Recent studies have shed light on the techno-economic assessment of waste heat recovery in various contexts. For instance, utilizing excess heat from alkaline electrolysers powered by surplus renewable energy can enhance system efficiency and reduce hydrogen production costs, particularly for smaller electrolyser configurations. 🌞💧

Successful integration of WHR systems requires seamless integration with existing industrial processes, careful planning, and robust risk management strategies. By addressing these challenges head-on, industries can unlock the full potential of waste heat recovery and pave the way for a more sustainable future. 🌍💪
