How does your solution help reduce the carbon emissions associated with cement production? AS: We turn the huge amount of waste heat from cement production into clean, affordable and reliable electricity. Waste heat is the largest unused energy resource in the world. Our modules can be installed wherever waste heat is generated. As the energy-intensive cement industry seeks to achieve climate neutrality, waste heat recovery (WHR) offers a key solution. We're talking about a massive potential: recovering the waste heat from all cement plants worldwide with our second-generation Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) modules would generate power of a yearly volume of around 67 TWh which represents the electricity demand of all private households of more than 40 million European citizens. Harnessing this clean energy potential would save approx. 30 million tons of CO2 (depending on the considered electricity mix). PH: Despite exploration to reduce emissions in cement production, there is currently no viable strategy to reduce process emissions to zero. Cement is therefore one of the most challenging areas of decarbonisation faced by the developed world.
