This waste heat, typically lost to the atmosphere, can be harnessed using a solar chimney. The chimney's design leverages the natural convection currents created by the temperature difference between the heated air within the compost pile and the ambient air.

High-temperature waste heat can be recovered from a boiler, furnace, oven, kiln, or other thermal process1 and converted to electricity using a system such as a Rankine cycle steam turbine.

The electricity will be used by PAN-LEDI for their electric vehicle (EV) charging station, with excess energy injected into the grid and the engine waste heat sold to a nearby commercial customer. The CHP unit consists of a Jenbacher container and a complete heat recovery.
