We’re surrounded by waste – waste heat, that is. From data centres to dairy factories, un-needed thermal energy is rejected into the air. But now heat recovery technologies are able to take that low level heat and turn it into electricity or into heat at higher temperatures, which can then be used all over again.
At our Heat BIG series webinar on Thursday 25 June 2026 we’ll dive into the power of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology and large-scale heat pumps to see how they transform waste heat into valuable energy, lowering emissions, and saving costs along the way!
We’ll present examples of how these technologies are being used in the ‘real world’, and look into the policy and regulations which have an impact on their rollout.
