Danfoss: excess heat is world’s largest untapped source of energy

According to new data, excess heat in the EU alone amounts to 2,860 TWh/y, corresponding almost to the EU’s total energy demand for heat and hot water in residential and service sector buildings.
Danfoss President & CEO Kim Fausing says it is remarkable that the EU has “close to no initiatives that push for more efficient use of the vast amounts of wasted energy in the form of excess heat.” New whitepaper details that it would give a productivity boost to the economy, lower energy prices for consumers and businesses and accelerate the green transition.
