The objective of this meeting is to shed light on the often overlooked potentials in heating and cooling efficiency, especially in industrial settings, despite their significant role in enhancing energy resilience and reducing emissions.
Although thermal processes consume more than 70 percent of the industrial energy demand, utilization of waste heat is often disregarded by manufacturers. This is compounded by the past years’ focus on electrification, leading to a shortage of skills and perpetuating misconception that waste heat utilization is not worth economically.
Experts will share insights on the opportunities offered by improving heating and cooling efficiency, and discuss measures to address barriers hindering waste heat utilization and to advance towards more resilient energy systems.
