Abstract ­ The U.S. industrial sector accounts for about one­third of the total energy consumed in the United States and is responsible for about one­third of fossil­fuel­related greenhouse gas emissions. It is estimated that somewhere between 20 to 50% of industrial energy input is lost as waste heat in the form of hot exhaust gases, cooling water, and heat lost from hot equipment surfaces and heated products. As the industrial sector continues efforts to improve its energy efficiency, recovering waste heat losses provides an attractive opportunity for an emission­free and less­costly energy resource. Numerous technologies and variations/combinations of technologies are commercially available for waste heat recovery. Many industrial facilities have upgraded or are improving their energy productivity by installing these technologies. However, heat recovery is not economical or even possible in many cases. This study was initiated in order to evaluate RD&D needs for improving waste heat recovery technologies. A bottom­up approach is used to evaluate waste heat quantity, quality, recovery practices, and technology barriers in some of the largest energy­consuming units in U.S. manufacturing. The results from this investigation serve as a basis for understanding the state of waste heat recovery and providing recommendations for RD&D to advance waste heat recovery technologies. Technology needs are identified in two broad areas: 1) extending the range of existing technologies to enhance their economic feasibility and recovery efficiency, and 2) exploring new methods for waste heat recovery, especially for unconventional waste heat sources.
