● Thermoelectric power generation business
Background
● Exhaust(waste) heat, which is released into the environment in significant volumes, consumes more than 60% of the primary energy utilized in the world! ! !→ 75% of the exhaust heat is low-temperature exhaust heat or heat produced below 300℃.
(High-temperature exhaust heat is commercialized via steam recovery technology. )
→ Compact and easy-to-use thermoelectric power generation that converts waste heat directly into electricity is gaining popularity as a way to advance the SDGs
 Current status of unused low-temp. exhaust heat.
