Market Assessment of Waste Heat Recovery Solutions in India

The International Institute for Energy Conservation (IIEC), along with Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), commissioned the study “Market Assessment of Waste Heat Recovery Solutions in India” Under the GEF-6 project “Creating and Sustaining Markets for Energy Efficiency” implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

The report delves into the critical role of waste heat recovery (WHR) technologies in propelling India's energy efficiency and sustainability agenda. By exploiting the substantial untapped energy conservation potential embedded within waste heat streams across diverse industrial sectors, India has a unique opportunity to bolster energy security, enhance economic competitiveness, and significantly contribute to its decarbonization efforts. This study undertakes an in-depth assessment of a wide range of WHR technologies across prioritized industrial sectors. The selected sectors include five energy-intensive industries already part of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency's Perform, Achieve, and Trade (PAT) scheme, along with four Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sectors that exhibit high levels of waste heat availability from their processes.
