- In April 2025, E.ON Polska completed the construction of a modern heat recovery system at ArcelorMittal Poland’s Dąbrowa Górnicza plant, which is now fully operational and undergoing final warranty testing. This innovative installation captures energy from flue gases up to 250°C, reheating fuel gas and air to around 180°C, and reintegrating it into the pig iron smelting process. The system delivers impressive results: an annual recovery of 117 GWh of energy, a reduction of 56,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions, and a cut in coke consumption by nearly 10,000 tonnes. It represents a major step toward sustainable steel production and industrial decarbonization in Poland
- In April 2025, NTT Data launched a major waste heat recovery project at its Berlin 1 Data Center in partnership with Quartierswerk Gartenfeld GmbH, a joint venture of ENGIE Deutschland and GASAG Solution Plus. The initiative will supply up to 8 MW of carbon-free heating capacity to the “Das Neue Gartenfeld” development—a 76-acre residential and commercial district in Berlin-Spandau, home to over 10,000 residents. The system captures low-temperature waste heat (20–30°C) from IT operations and delivers it via a 2 km pipeline to an on-site energy center, where it’s upgraded for district heating. This marks one of Germany’s largest waste heat recovery projects from existing data centers and showcases a scalable model for urban decarbonization
- In March 2025, Climeon pledged its support for the European Commission’s Clean Industrial Deal by promoting its Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology as a key enabler of industrial decarbonization, energy cost reduction, and enhanced energy security. The company’s HeatPower solution captures low-temperature waste heat to generate on-site electricity, helping industries reduce reliance on fossil fuels and stabilize energy expenses. This aligns with the EU’s Affordable Energy Action Plan, which is backed by over €100 billion (approx. USD 113 billion) in funding to accelerate clean energy adoption and improve industrial efficiency across Europe
- In December 2024, Climeon secured a contract exceeding USD 1.08 million (EUR 1 million) with a leading global shipping company to install its HeatPower 300 waste heat recovery systems on two large container vessels. The systems, based on Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology, are designed to convert low-temperature engine waste heat into electricity, significantly improving energy efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. This initiative supports the maritime industry’s push toward decarbonization and compliance with tightening environmental regulations. The installations mark a key step in Climeon’s mission to deliver sustainable energy solutions for ocean transportation
- In June 2024, Danfoss and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) unveiled the HPE IT Sustainability Services – Data Center Heat Recovery, an off-the-shelf module designed to capture and reuse surplus heat from data centers. This solution enables organizations to transform waste heat into a renewable energy source, supporting sustainable IT infrastructure and reducing overall energy consumption. Inspired by Danfoss’ own heat reuse system in Denmark, the module integrates with HPE’s modular data centers, offering scalable deployment and improved energy efficiency. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to decarbonizing digital infrastructure and advancing climate-resilient technologies
