UK industry could unlock major energy savings through heat reuse, says new report Industrial heating accounts for about 14% of U.K. emissions but about half of the energy used in U.K. industry is lost as waste heat, according to a new report. Analysis supported by expertise from Heriot-Watt University shows this heat could be captured and reused rather than released. The report by the Royal Society, "Unlocking thermal energy: Capture, storage and re-use of industrial waste heat," sets out how reusing thermal energy could be a huge opportunity for the U.K.—to cut emissions, reduce operational costs for businesses, and accelerate progress towards net zero. https://techxplore.com/news/2026-02-uk-industry-major-energy-reuse.html
