New National Incentive For Waste Heat To Power
On December 21, 2020, the United States congress approved the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. The recently adopted act includes a 26% investment tax credit (ITC) for “Waste Energy Recovery Property.” While combined heat and power (CHP) has previously received support through various incentives, this is the first nationally supported incentive…
ORC Waste Heat Recovery Benefits
Waste heat is all around us and comes in many forms, from engine jacket water and heat from industrial processes to thermal oils and flue gases. When you take advantage of waste heat you are utilizing an immense, virtually untapped resource. With ElectraTherm’s advancements in Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) low-temperature…
Stop Wasting Your Waste Heat
What is Waste Heat? Waste heat is an untapped, sustainable resource that goes largely underutilized today. Simply, it is the excess heat produced most commonly in power generation and industrial processes. According to the second law of thermodynamics, heat must be produced when converting a temperature difference into mechanical energy.…
