Thermal Energy Harvesting

Thermal energy harvesting is a technology that captures waste heat from various sources and converts it into electrical energy using thermoelectric materials, thermophotovoltaic cells, or other devices. This process takes advantage of the temperature differences present in everyday environments, such as between the human body and the surroundings, industrial processes, vehicle engines, or even urban landscapes.

Harnessing Ambient Heat​

Harnessing ambient heat through thermal energy harvesting has the potential to be a highly efficient means of generating electricity in various settings, including:

  • Wearable technology for portable power
  • Industrial applications to reduce waste heat and boost efficiency
  • Urban planning by integrating thermal energy harvesting into buildings and infrastructure
  • Vehicle development for increased fuel efficiency and reduced emissions

Thermal energy harvesting offers a promising solution for sustainable energy production and has sparked interest in research, development, and innovation.
