Have you heard? Heat is Power!

We hope you’ll be hearing a lot more about energy recycling now that several companies in the field have teamed up to launch a new initiative called Heat is Power. The goal is to educate lawmakers and the public about the enormous potential of the type of energy recycling known as waste heat recovery—or as they put it, “WH2E” (waste heat to electricity)—to help solve our energy woes and put America back to work. According to Heat is Power, WH2E is the “missing link to America’s clean energy future” and has the potential to “boost U.S. competitiveness and keep American industry in America by providing a new source of profit or cheap onsite clean electricity for our industrial manufacturers.”

The group also points out that, “no country is yet a leader in exports of this technology… American companies today can manufacture this technology with greater than 90% American content. Capturing the export market of this technology will catapult the United States in the global clean energy race and result in the creation of sustained American manufacturing jobs.”
