Hufu Waste Heat Recovery

This project involves constructing two turbine generators to recover waste heat and produce clean electricity at a cement manufacturing plant in the Eastern Chinese province of Jiangsu. Waste heat is produced as a by-product of industrial manufacturing which gets lost as exhaust. The waste heat in this case comes from rotating kilns used in the production lines of a cement manufacturing plant which is recycled for internal energy consumption. Boilers capture the waste heat, creating steam which is fed into a turbine generator to produce electricity. The project generates a total of 13.5MW which delivers on-site power, displacing electricity that would otherwise have been drawn primarily from fossil-fuel fired power stations connected to the East China Power grid.

Waste heat recovery projects are often underestimated as an additional source of clean energy despite their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by recovering energy that would otherwise have been vented directly into the atmosphere.

Alongside the emissions reductions, this project helps to meet China’s sustainable development needs by reducing its dependence on fossil fuels. This is a unique project in the Jiangsu Province and promotes broader acceptance of waste heat recovery in the cement industry. The local economy also benefits from the creation of more than 32 employment opportunities.
