The IOR’s Environmental Committee has today published the first in a new series of Technology Briefs on the topic of Heat Recovery. This series of free resources is designed to provide an overview of technologies that will support sector decarbonisation that were highlighted by the TICR Project (Transport Industrial and Commercial Refrigeration).

The publications are intended for a broad audience, including end‑users, designers, consultants, installers, and service and maintenance engineers.

The TICR Project technology recommendations were based on a series of real-world site investigations and modelling of carbon emissions across the various sectors.  The project then ranked the top ten technologies for emissions reduction in each sector. One of the key findings of these surveys was that there is often a missed opportunity to make use of waste heat. 

The IOR Environmental Committee Technology Brief on Heat Recovery is available here.
