Based on application, the electricity & steam generation application market is anticipated to grow at a CGAR of over 10% through 2032. Reduced greenhouse gas emissions, versatility in applications, and the capacity to deliver high energy efficiency are among the key attributes that are expected to drive increased adoption of waste heat recovery systems. The adoption of Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHRS) for electricity and steam generation will be influenced by ongoing efforts to curtail greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the continuous upward trajectory of electricity prices.
 

• The European Union (EU) has set ambitious emission reduction targets, including the Green Deal and the European Green Deal, which emphasize decarbonization.
   
• Several underlying drivers will contribute to the growth of this sector, including a growing emphasis on enhancing plant efficiency and a rising demand for on-site power production.
   
• Increased investments in the utilization of sustainable waste heat across various industries will further boost the demand for WHR systems.
   
• European governments and the EU provide incentives, subsidies, and funding to encourage the adoption of energy-efficient technologies, including WHRS. These financial incentives are spurring market growth.
   

Based on temperature, the <230 °C temperature system will witness around 6.1% growth rate from 203 to 2023 to 2032. Waste heat recovery (WHR) systems operating at temperatures below 230°C are predominantly employed in medium-sized industrial sectors such as pulp and paper, food processing, and chemicals. The utilization of these solutions enables plant managers to achieve cost savings, enhance energy efficiency at their facilities, and reduce industrial CO2 emissions. The expansion of continuous co-generation units for environmentally friendly waste heat utilization will further support Europe waste heat recovery systems market growth.
 

These WHR systems make use of exhaust heat generated during existing industrial processes. They find applications in sectors like glass and cement, where high-temperature heat recovery equipment is deployed to generate energy. In the coming years, technology implementation in this field will be facilitated by essential qualities such as lower maintenance costs and ease of use. In addition, waste heat recovered from industrial processes is integrated into district heating systems, providing a sustainable heat source for urban areas.
 

Germany waste heat recovery system market will grow at a rate of over 6.5% by 2032. Germany has set ambitious energy efficiency targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve energy resources. The country is actively pursuing its energy transition strategy, aiming to phase out nuclear energy and reduce carbon emissions. WHRS plays a crucial role in this transition by improving energy efficiency and contributing to sustainable energy generation. In addition, government initiatives and regulatory measures encourage the adoption of WHRS to achieve energy efficiency and emissions reduction goals. Financial incentives and subsidies further promote WHRS adoption.
 

• Germany's renewable energy sector, particularly wind and solar, integrates WHRS to enhance grid stability and overall energy efficiency.
   
• CHP plants, which utilize waste heat for both electricity and heat generation, are increasingly prevalent in Germany, contributing to higher energy efficiency.
   
• Continuous research and development efforts in Germany drive technological advancements, making WHRS systems more efficient and cost-effective.
   
• Companies and industries in the country places a strong emphasis on sustainability, seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and energy consumption as a result, WHRS aligns with these objectives.
