By 2023, the market for waste heat recovery is expected to be worth USD 75.4 billion and it will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8.5% between 2024 and 2030 in order to exceed USD 133.2 billion by 2030. This growth of the market can be credited to the growing concern for greenhouse gases (GHGs). Along with this, the increasing automation level is causing the growing need for power, and the growing electricity expenses propel the world to produce it sustainably.
Climate change shows a great test for financial, political, social, and environmental dimensions globally. The most lucrative and dependable method to justify carbon releases and saving on expenditures is advancing power effectiveness. Delivering electricity for justifiable financial growth is a shared aim of both advanced and emerging nations.
Industrial amenities produce significant heat during their workings while contributing to a heightened carbon footprint and opposing ecological consequences. Waste heat retrieval systems play a vital role in accelerating the overall electricity efficiency of industrial manufacturing procedures by decreasing the requirement for fossil fuels to produce primary electricity.
The waste heat is transported to a medium or fluid, which can then be utilized to produce steam to propel a turbine in a making facility. Moreover, in the aluminum and copper sectors, the gases generated after recovery can be used to preheat the stock. The benefit of this is a decrease in the danger of explosions that can result from entrapped water vapor.
The cement category is expected to have a high growth rate in the end-user segment during the forecast period. Rapid worldwide growth of the construction sector has given rise to a strong demand for waste heat recovery systems within the cement industry, as well as with regard to other developing economies. In particular, educational, social, retail, health care, and residential sectors have been experiencing such growth in India, China, and Indonesia.
In a wide range of manufacturing processes, heat exhaust gases are discharged into the atmosphere. This heat can be captured and transferred to a different medium such as water or air, with the use of heat exchangers. Recovered heat may be used for the preheating of incoming process fluids, space heating or to generate steam in other processes.
The largest industry for waste heat recovery systems is Europe. The European Union's rules to produce energy from waste and the growing public consciousness of power effectiveness and air pollution are the major industry development propels in this region.
