While various technologies could be used to modify existing vessels, waste heat recovery has been cited as a viable method of achieving EEXI compliance (Severn and Hoare, 2021).
By retrofitting waste heat recovery systems, shipowners can increase the energy efficiency of their vessels, effectively reducing emissions and satisfying the EEXI mandates. So, why is WHR so beneficial in light of EEXI regulations and why are so many shipowners likely to choose this method of energy conservation to meet their environmental obligations?
