1. Industrial process heat
Recover and dispatch heat from furnaces, kilns, and thermal processes to offset fossil-based process heat demand.
2. District heating integration
Convert variable heat sources into dispatchable thermal supply that aligns with network load and seasonal demand.
3. Data center heat reuse
Capture low and medium-grade thermal streams and upgrade them for nearby buildings and industrial loads.
4. Hybrid deployment pathway
Use modular capture and storage assets for phased expansion from single-site reuse to multi-offtaker district heating solutions.

FAQ
What inputs are needed for a first feasibility view?
Annual available waste heat, source temperature, offtaker distance, demand profile, and baseline heat economics.
Q1
Can this support process heat decarbonization targets?
Yes, projects are designed to replace high-emission heat demand with recovered and stored thermal energy.
Q2
Which sectors fit best first?
High-heat industries, district heating operators, and data center campuses with nearby thermal demand are strong candidates.
Q3
How does distance affect feasibility?
Distance to the offtaker influences transport losses, capex profile, and dispatch design. This is captured in first-pass screening and refined in engineering.
Q4
Can projects be phased?
Yes, projects can start with one emitter-offtaker pair and expand into larger heat networks over time.
