Solutions by sector

Two thermal sources, one AI-governed network: steady industrial process heat and dense urban transit heat combine into a resilient, always-on supply.

Assets

  • Heydar Aliyev Oil Refinery — Cooling towers & effluent loops
  • SOCAR Polymer & Carbamide — Process steam vents & secondary cooling
  • Sumgayit Chemical Industrial Park — Clustered manufacturing waste-heat nodes

Focus

  • Boiler feedwater pre-heating
  • Industrial Cooling-as-a-Service
  • Clustered waste-heat nodes with shared off-take

Benefit

  • Direct natural gas OPEX reduction
  • Reduced thermal load on cooling towers
  • Scope 1 carbon mitigation
  • Extended equipment lifespan

Commercial roadmap

  1. Phase 1

    Internal OPEX reduction

    Client
    Refinery operators
    Product
    Boiler feedwater pre-heating & Cooling-as-a-Service

    Cuts gas OPEX and extends equipment lifespan without relying on energy-intensive ventilation.

  2. Phase 2

    External commercialisation

    Client
    Neighbouring industrial park tenants
    Product
    Thermal off-take & Heat Purchase Agreements

    Sells upgraded hot water below the cost of grid electricity or gas heating.

  3. Phase 3

    Decarbonisation & carbon credits

    Client
    Government & global markets
    Product
    Zero-emission heating & carbon credits

    Aligns with the Low-Carbon Development Strategy 2021–2030; unlocks subsidies and offset markets.

Why Baku beats the precedents

Higher passenger density means more waste heat per node, which means better economics on the same hardware. London Bunhill 2 and Warsaw M2 prove the concept works abroad; density is the argument that it works better here.
