An affordable, standard retrofit – built together.
There is a large market potential for an affordable, standardised and easy-to-implement retrofit that recovers redundant energy from incineration – in India's medical waste sector, in other industries and in neighbouring markets.
What it takes to unlock the market
A commercially viable business case, with major reductions in capex, operational costs and risks compared with existing solutions – and a commercial case for new revenue streams, such as selling cooling and power to an external market.
We would very much like to welcome industry partners at an early stage: suppliers of technologies and engineering services, investors, public institutions, universities, technical colleges and research institutions.
Technology
Heat exchangers, steam generation, absorption cooling.
Engineering
Design and integration in working plants.
Investment
Funding a scalable roll-out.
Knowledge
Research, training and public policy.
Three organisations, two countries.
Operation of medical waste incineration in India, capacity building in heating and cooling, and environmental research.
