Engaging with Zambian stakeholders from industry, government, and the community to determine their needs and vision around reducing fuel use and carbon emissions.
Assessing both the potential for heat recovery in Zambian industry through background data gathering, site visits and monitoring; and the social and economic benefits of heat recovery.
Co-Designing a solution with Zambian stakeholders that can recover waste heat across multiple locations and scales, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and benefit society.
Implementing waste heat recovery technically through a prototype system, and commercially by embedding heat recovery into Zambian businesses.
Project Aims
The main aim of Reheatz is to improve the economic and environmental sustainability of food production in Zambia by identifying opportunities to recycle waste heat in wastewater. We believe this will assist in both addressing Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 to combat climate change and improve the sustainability of food production in Zambia.
To achieve these aims, we are assessing the feasibility of wastewater heat recovery in a diverse range of Zambian industry sectors and of the potential impacts of this implementation. Working with interested parties, we are collaborating to identify pathways towards the broader use of this technology.
Our key steps are:
