Energy Efficiency

The ETEKINA project aims to recover 57-70% of the waste heat stream in energy intensive industries which up to now just go out of the chimney. The new heat pipe heat exchangers are an efficient tool to recover heat from industrial processes.

Less than 30% of the energy consumed on the planet is converted efficiently. The rest is discharged into the atmosphere in the form of waste heat. Excess heat produced by chillers in a supermarket can end up providing space heating and hot water for flats.

The German Energy Efficiency Award is endowed with prize money totalling 30,000 euros. Companies from any industry in Germany or abroad can apply online at energy efficiencyaward.de/en/apply/. The 18 nominees will be selected by a jury of.

New waste heat recovery technologies can take the industry one step closer to achieving cleaner production methods. Aluminium is the second most highly produced metal and one of the most recycled commodities in the world. In some industries, over 90% of it is recycled .

Scientists in four European countries have been working on the ETEKINA project. They have developed three new heat pipe heat exchangers (HPHE) They aim to recover between 57% and 70% of waste heat streams in three specific sectors.

The 2020 winter survey of the Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) shows a renewed increase in the importance of energy efficiency within German industry. The Institute for Energy Efficiency in Production has been surveying current and planned energy efficiency activities in German industry every six months since.

The IEA report should be read by entire EEIP network. It is good to have a wake-up call by the IEA. But we also have to take stock of how far we have come and the practical measures we can take to improve.

Industrial Symbiosis (IS) aims to mimic the functioning of ecological systems. A consortium of 29 partners will work together aiming at: Decarbonising the resource and energy intensive industry sectors. The European Commission is not responsible for any use that may be made.

Two astronauts successfully left the earths atmosphere to dock with the international space station on a semi re-usable rocket. This was clearly an incredible achievement and returned the USA to the forefront of space travel. In addition this significant step moves us closer to manned.
