This book summarizes waste heat utilization technologies centered around binary power generation, which are essential for achieving low-carbon energy use that is becoming increasingly important. In the industrial sector, which accounts for about half of Japan's energy demand, energy consumption has been on a downward trend in recent years. One reason for this is the high energy-saving technologies, and the domestic industry is advancing relatively high-temperature heat recovery and utilization. While it is certainly important to devise ways to minimize waste heat generation, how to effectively utilize the waste heat that is generated is one of the critical issues for Japan today. We hope to deepen the understanding of the current state of waste heat in the country and its utilization methods, and to contribute, even slightly, to solving these challenges.
