The world’s population is expected to grow by one and a half billion people in the next 20 years, and energy requirements to increase by 40 percent. We need all this energy and electricity to build communities that are safe, comfortable and fair.
However, only one third of the energy used to produce electricity actually becomes electricity. The rest is lost during distribution or as heat. In order to control our future, we need effective solutions that are eco-friendly and minimize energy losses in the form of waste heat.
This is where the Opcon sees great potential. With our technology, which optimizes the use of the energy that has already been used once, we can generate new revenues. This is what we call Waste to Value.
