EMB3Rs is an open-source, excess heat/cold re-use matching platform. It determines the costs and benefits of re-using industrial waste heat energy. The platform matches heat sources with sinks, to reduce carbon emissions. Waste heat is carbon dioxide neutral - just like renewable energy - so we already have mandatory heat planning in some federal states. Excess heat and cold can be efficiently used in district heating networks. In Germany, renewable generation accounts for 41% of electricity yet the renewable share of the nations heat supply is only 17%. There is going to be nationwide heat planning for German municipalities in the near future. We are now seeing a big big increase in interest in waste heat recovery, says researcher Patrick Hoffmann, from the Institute for Future energy and Material Flow Systems, Saarbrücken, Germany. Hoffmann. He says: ‘We are going to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 65 percent of German municipalities.

Deep decarbonisation of industry: The cement sector
Fossil fuel combustion to meet heating needs accounts for 35% of cements CO2 emissions. The remaining 65% are due to direct process emissions, which must also be addressed. By 2050, cement production in the EU is expected to remain below pre-2010 levels.
