HiP Resource Library
Heat is Power is the only trade association specifically dedicated to the waste heat to power (WHP) industry. We are a resource for our member companies, policy makers, regulators, other trade associations, and all those who are interested in WHP.
We welcome your interest in WHP! Please contact us with questions, suggestions, or other resources you may have discovered on WHP.
NOTE: Materials in this library that were published before April 2015 use the 2012 EPA estimate that there is 10 GW of WHP potential in the U.S.. In 2015, the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory reported that the WHP potential in the U.S. is actually 15 GW.
How State Programs Can Drive Deployment of Waste Heat to Power in the United States
By Julia Kemper, Janice Tran, Dan Fipke, and Christine Altilio of Kanin Energy, and HiP Executive Director Patricia Sharkey
Author’s Note: This White Paper was researched and written by the Heat is Power Association’s State Programs Working Group in the Spring of 2021 with the generous support of HiP Member Kanin Energy.
