\nWhat’s the problem?
\nwhy<\/p>\n
Industry-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have been continuously increasing during the last years and are higher than GHG emissions from other endues sectors (high confidence). Despite the declining share of industry in global gross domestic product (GDP), global industry and waste\/wastewater GHG emissions grew from 10,4 GtCO2 eq in 1990 to 13,0 GtCO2 eq in 2005 to 15,4 GtCO2 eq in 2010<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Total global GHG emissions for industry and waste\/wastewater in 2010, which nearly doubled since 1970, were comprised of direct energy-related CO2 emissions of 5,3 GtCO2 eq, indirect CO2 emissions from production of electricity and heat for\u00a0 industry of 5,2 GtCO2 eq, process CO2 emissions of 2,6 GtCO2eq, non-CO2 GHG emissions of 0,9 GtCO2 eq, and waste\/wastewater emissions of 1,4 GtCO2 eq. 2010 European direct and indirect emissions were dominated by CO2 (85.1%) followed by CH4 (8,6%), HFC (3,5%), N2O (2,0%), PFC (0,5%) and SF6 (0,4%) emissions.<\/p>\n Currently, emissions from industry are larger than the emissions from either the buildings or transport end-use sectors and represented just over 30% of global GHG emissions in 2010 (just over 40% in agriculture, forestry, and other land use.<\/p>\n HEAT-R<\/strong> aims to provide a breakthrough in Energy Harvesting (EH) solutions, specifically for waste heat recovery for industries which have heat intensive processes. AEInnova has developed a new product allowing the direct conversion of Waste Heat into electricity <\/strong>based on a thermoelectric principle called the Seebeck effect. The novelty over current technologies is a modular unit using multiple ThermoElectrical Generation cells (TEG) associated and controlled through a patented programmable control unit based on System-on Chip (SoC) technology,\u00a0 overcoming current limitations.<\/p>\n
