MEMPHIS: Methodology to Evaluate and Map the Potential of Waste Heat from Industry, Service Sector and Sewage Water by Using Internationally Available Open Data
Description
The research project MEMPHIS, funded within the IEA DHC Annex XII, aims to develop an international applicable and freely distributed methodology to assess waste heat potential from the industry and business sector and sewer networks. The results promote the identification of spatially distributed waste heat sources which are currently otherwise wasted.
The Waste Heat Explorer (WHE) is also a platform that enables the cooperation of potential producers and consumers of waste heat.
Furthermore, the results give an estimation of the economical and ecological potential of waste heat sources when integrated into DHSs via HPs.
