IIR documentSummary
The world's energy consumption is projected to grow 70% and the energy-related carbon dioxide emissions, to rise by more than 40% from today to 2050. In this context, industrial waste heat and geothermal energy represent alternatives aiming at reducing primary energy consumption. This paper presents a short overview of thermodynamic cycles allowing converting industrial waste heat and deep geothermal energy in electricity. The thermal calculation of a basic ammonia-water power generation cycle shows that with heat sources at temperatures as low as 120°C, this working fluid mixture is able to achieve satisfactory efficiency. The future of ammonia as natural and efficient refrigerant seems more and more promising.
