Problem
Many industrial processes generate significant amounts of waste heat, which is often released into the environment, representing a loss of potential energy and contributing to thermal pollution. Existing methods for capturing and reusing this waste heat are often inefficient, costly, or limited in their ability to transport the energy to where it is needed.
Solution
Water Horizon provides mobile thermal batteries and on-site cooling solutions that capture, store, and transport waste heat from industrial facilities, enabling its reuse as renewable heating or cooling. The company's MH2C (Move Heat 2 Cold) technology uses absorption technology to convert waste heat into storable energy, which can then be transported and discharged at a different location without energy loss over time. Alternatively, the LH2C (Low Heat 2 Cold) technology converts waste heat into cooling directly on-site, recovering low-temperature heat deposits that are otherwise unattainable by other energy recovery solutions. Water Horizon's solutions offer an economic and durable alternative to traditional energy sources, improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions for both waste heat producers and cold energy consumers.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes industrial facilities that generate waste heat, as well as businesses and communities that require heating or cooling, particularly those seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and energy costs.
