REPORT: Waste Heat Recovery – An Introductory Guide

Report available here: Waste Heat Recovery – An Introductory Guide | Scottish Enterprise (scottish-enterprise.com)

The aim of this guide is to provide information about heat that is being wasted and how to capture it and use it. This includes facilitating better communication and understanding between relevant parties interested in providing and using waste heat. Ultimately, this is to encourage reuse, thus reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions whilst also possibly delivering commercial benefits.

The guidance is directed at non-technical specialists. The goal is to develop knowledge that will enable them to engage with third parties, such as waste heat producers and heat network operators, on the topic of waste heat. This engagement should ascertain if organisations have any initial, high level interest in offering their waste heat and identify potential options for its use.
