Grant Description
Energy intensive high temperature processing industries lost more than 50% of their energy as waste heat during the production, which accounts for 200 TWh of power each year in Europe.
There are many technologies available for converting waste heat into electricity but at industry scale the adaptation of these solutions is scarce.
Specific barriers such as efficiency and cost of these renewable technologies and difficulty in integrating these systems in the production lines limit their extensive adoption as heat recovery technologies in the industry.
Innovative approaches to improve the efficiency with new modular technology are therefore urgently required that can be retrofitted in production lines to save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emission.
The primary goal of INFERNO is to develop a new hybrid platform system based on the integration of thermophotovoltaics (TPV), metasurface collector (MetaS) and thermoelectric generators (TEG), which will eventually contribute to a breakthrough in sustainable energy harvesting from industrial waste heat.
We will develop new infrared sensitive low bandgap (
