Susan, good piece. Yep, the EPA has done good work showing how much potential there is in recovering waste energy. In fact, EPA and DOE studies suggest there’s enough RECOVERABLE waste energy now (mostly heat) to cut our country’s greenhouse gas emissions by 20%. And that’s with current technology — nothing more would need to be developed. Most of the savings would come from combined heat & power at manufacturing plants, and other savings would come from straight waste energy recovery at such facilities.

Now as I’ve mentioned before, I’m not entirely unbiased since I’m associated with Recycled Energy Development, which does this work. RED’s president Sean Casten has written for CleanTechnica before, as well. The reason we’re involved with energy recycling is the massive opportunity, and the U.S. should be doing everything possible to take advantage of it.
