Waste into wealth: how heat pumps can recycle heat to save energy

06 Dec 2024

Have you ever seen water vapour escape from a building into the sky?

Some of that heat, instead of being lost to the air, can be captured and re-used by heat pumps. This is good for saving energy and lowering energy bills, as well as decarbonising through a renewable energy source.

This paper explores the potential of waste heat recovery with heat pumps, the environmental and financial benefits, and what EU policy can help unlock them.
