DTEC (Discharged Thermal Energy Conversion)
DTEC (Discharged Thermal Energy Conversion)
Characteristics of DTEC
- Effective Utilization of Low Temperature Waste Heat
DTEC enables electricity production using low temperature waste heat (200℃ or less) from industries such as oil refineries, steel plants, and chemical plants.
- Energy-savings and CO2 Emission Reduction
DTEC saves energy and reduces CO2 because the system does not use fossil fuels.
- Possible Substitute for Cooling Facilities
The system can be used in substitute of traditional cooling facilities.
- Desalination
The system can produce fresh water by desalination (optional).
For details, please refer to "Desalination and Secondary Use of Deep Seawater".

Generation Cost
Type | Construction cost (※3) | Load factor | Depreciation cost (※4) |
---|---|---|---|
DTEC (MW scale) | Approx. JPY300~400k/kW | 80~95% | JPY2.4~3.2/kWh |
Photovoltaic | Approx. JPY600k/kW | 12~14% | JPY33~38/kWh |
Wind | Approx. JPY200k/kW | 15~25% | JPY6.1~10/kWh |
(※3) The construction cost of DTEC plant is referential since
it is much affected by the size of waste heat quantity and characteristics.
(※4) Depreciation period:15 years. Interests are not considered for the
estimates.
