On EU Energy Efficiency Day, we spotlight one of Europe's most overlooked energy efficiency opportunities: waste heat.
Germany accounts for more than 20% of the EU's industrial waste heat. Existing waste heat sources could cover 30% of the country's district heating demand.
A new Danfoss analysis maps 178 major district heating networks against Germany's national waste heat register. The result is striking: more than 1,400 suitable industrial waste heat sources are located within just one kilometer of a district heating network, revealing a clear opportunity to scale waste heat reuse.
