The research project Research on the possibilities of using waste heat from industry for heating in the public and commercial sector in Slovakia focused on the Analysis of waste heat sources in Slovakia and the proposal of its optimal distribution for the needs of heating buildings in the vicinity has been successfully completed.

SFÉRA, a.s., participated in the implementation of the project as a consortium partner from March 1, 2022, to September 30, 2023. The applicant was The Institute of Materials and Machine Mechanics of the Slovak Academy of Science, a public research institution, and another partner was Aplik s.r.o. The main result of the project is a feasibility study of ecological heating using residual heat in Slovakia, including laboratory verification of the proposed procedures, which will create rational prerequisites for future investments in research and development in this area, as well as for effectively reducing environmental burdens resulting from building heating.

The output of the project is a map portal of emitters and consumers of residual heat, which is available at: https://odpadove-teplo-mapa.sfera.sk/
