Port industry residual heat exchange

Sustainable principle:

energy saving

Potential benefits:

Clean air, Public health

Description:

Port industry often produces heat for their processes. In many cases excess heat is lost to air or in cooling processes. This residual heat can be used for other purposes. By developing an excess heat system, this energy can be used for heating of nearby residential homes, offices or for instance green-houses. Usage of excess heat needs a dedicated pipeline infrastructure and collaboration by multiple parties.
