energy recovery
Reclaiming spent power
Energy recovery is the process of capturing energy that would otherwise be lost and converting it into usable form.
Regenerative braking in electric vehicles recovers kinetic energy during deceleration.
Waste-to-energy plants burn garbage to generate electricity.
Heat exchangers reclaim thermal energy from industrial exhaust.
The building's energy recovery system reduces heating costs by thirty percent.
