### Swire Coca-Cola (SCC): Efficient Industrial Steam Generation

---

**Challenge Overview**

Swire Coca-Cola operates manufacturing and bottling plants across Greater China, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos. It aims to reduce energy use and carbon emissions from generation of steam for sanitization purposes, relative to a natural gas boiler.

Solutions could include but are not limited to:

- Industrial heat pumps for steam generation and water heating
- Hot water storage with heat recycling
- Heat recycling and thermal energy storage using other media, such as refractory bricks, carbon, volcanic bricks, molten salts, or waxes

**Main Requirements**

The solution must be scalable to a large beverage manufacturing plant which consumes 12,500 MT of steam annually. Waste heat recovery is needed from multiple water sources at temperatures from 35-80⁰C. Thermal energy storage systems should enable 50% or higher heat recovery and reuse. Heat pumps should offer COP of 2.5 or higher.

**What we are not interested in**

- More efficient natural gas boilers. Other hydrocarbon, biomass, or hydrogen-fueled steam generation. On site renewable energy generation.

**Closing date for applications**

## **16 August 2024**

 

**How to apply**

Please send an overview of the solution, how you will solve the problem, and a pitch deck about the company to [anthony.vicari@cleantech.com](mailto:anthony.vicari@cleantech.com)
