that can be integrated into a community's energy supply. By closing the loop between industrial waste and community warmth, this model saves money, enhances energy security, and delivers dramatic CO2 reductions. It is a model that must be championed and replicated to accelerate the green transition on a meaningful scale.
networks minimize heat loss and better integrate low- temperature renewable sources.
This trend is highly beneficial for industrial heat recovery. As the required temperature of DH networks decreases, the pool of viable industrial surplus heat sources expands. The sEEnergies report shows that available heat potential from industry more than doubles, from 425 PJ to 940 PJ, if the target utilization temperature drops from 95°C to a 4GDH-compatible 25°C. This creates a virtuous cycle: modernizing DH networks makes more industrial heat recovery projects viable, and the availability of this cheap, low-carbon industrial heat strengthens the business case for utilities to invest in modernizing their networks. The Envases project proves that the path forward is collaborative, built on the three pillars of a proactive industrial partner, a capable utility, and accessible technology. It shows that industrial waste heat is not a liability but a valuable asset
