Module 1

In this module, it will be given a detail description of how to investigate the waste heat & cold energy consumption and the potentials regarding the technology and how to exploit it externally for an industrial plant. The main inputs at this document come from the study conducted within SOWHAT project in WP1 and WP2 and some deliverables linked:

• D1.2 First release of SO WHAT Industrial Sectors WH/C recovery potential.
• D1.5 Strategies and protocols for input data collection.
• D1.6 Report on H/C recovery/storage technologies and renewable technologies).
• D2.1 Report on end-users’ current status, practises and needs in waste H/C recovery and RES integration.

Three pillars constitute the basis for this training module: industrial energy auditing, WH/C exploitation inside and outside the industrial site and the related technologies to achieve such objective, which is reflected in the following structure of the handbook. This module will address the topics related to general aspects of the above-mentioned pillars and it will provide technical inputs to the trainee and a solid basis for the prosecution of the training activities.
