Creating a long-lasting platform to map the future of energy

The EMB3Rs platform is set to help companies cost-effectively convert waste heat to a valuable revenue stream. The platform maps the supply and demand of thermal energy from potential stakeholders. It will show how excess heat and cold can be re-used as a valuable energy source for other industrial processes, district heating and other applications. As the project nears its end, both Kök and Hummel are confident their perseverance has paid off, and will do for many years yet. Kök: The platform can deliver nuanced and detailed street-level data, which makes it a valuable resource. Hummmel: EMB3Rs has a real opportunity to show industries that generate waste heat how it can be used to create a potential income stream, especially in district heating systems.
