Hamburg Considers Innovative Underground Heat Storage Scheme
Institutions in Hamburg are proposing to build a large underground thermal heat storage system that could supply roughly a quarter of the city’s heating needs with waste heat from industrial and power plants. If successful, it would make Vattenfall’s plans to realise a CO2-neutral district heating network superfluous. It could also serve as an example for other cities.
NREL Researches Capturing Of Waste Heat Via Nanotubes
Originally published on Planetsave. There may be a remarkable potential energy future for nanotubes. Researchers at the Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) believe finely tuned carbon nanotube thin film has the potential to act as a thermoelectric power generator which captures and uses waste heat. According to press … [continued]
Sewers Hold Waste Heat Ready For Recovery
A British Columbia-based company has developed and commercialized technology that allows for harvesting waste heat from sewer water.
