Recovering waste heat from light-duty vehicles

Since 2014, Carnot IFPEN Transports Energie has been partnering Enogia, an SME specialised in heat recovery, which has been marketing stationary ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) engine systems for a number of years. This technology, which is based on waste energy recovered from the cooling water of internal combustion engines, has been adapted to road transport for an automotive application.
