2026 Shanghai International Exhibition on Waste Heat Recovery and Utilization Technology and Equipment

Under the guidance of the 'dual carbon' goals, energy conservation and emission reduction in the industrial sector have become key factors in promoting a green economic transition. Waste heat recovery and utilization technology is gradually becoming the focal point of the industry as an important means of efficient energy use. To promote innovation and application in waste heat recovery technology, and to advance industrial energy-saving and green development, the '2026 Shanghai International Exhibition on Waste Heat Recovery and Utilization Technology and Equipment' will be grandly held at the Shanghai New International Expo Center from April 13 to 15, 2026.

This year’s exhibition, themed 'New Value of Waste Heat, New Green Future', will gather top global enterprises, experts, scholars, and industry leaders to showcase cutting-edge technologies and solutions in industrial waste heat recovery, combined heat and power, ORC technology, heat pump systems, and energy storage utilization. It is expected to attract over 90,120 professional visitors from 76 countries and regions, including leaders from industries such as energy, steel, cement, petrochemical, textiles, and more.

In addition to the exhibition, the '2026 Forum on Innovation and Development Trends in Waste Heat Recovery and Utilization' will also be held concurrently. During the forum, government departments, renowned industry experts, and business leaders will come together to discuss industry policies and trends, analyze hot topics, and share innovative technologies and solutions.

Key topics of this year include innovations in waste heat power generation technology in the steel industry, intelligent waste heat management systems empowered by digitalization, breakthroughs in low-temperature waste heat cascading utilization in the chemical industry, zero-carbon park models coupling waste heat recovery and hydrogen energy, and paths for the intelligent transformation of industrial-grade waste heat power generation systems. Through precise online audience targeting, the interaction between exhibitors and visitors will be more efficient.

In the review of the previous exhibition, the 2026 Shanghai International Exhibition on Waste Heat Recovery and Utilization was held concurrently with the Asian flagship environmental exhibition - the China Environmental Expo, achieving significant synergistic effects, attracting over 90,120 professional visitors from various industries worldwide. The exhibition received active participation from 107 visiting groups and buyer groups from 22 provinces and cities across the country.

The latest technologies and application cases in waste heat recovery technology and equipment, waste heat power generation and power systems, heat exchange and transfer technologies, materials and components, monitoring, control and digitization, energy storage and comprehensive utilization will be fully showcased. Friends from all walks of life are welcome to visit and discuss, promoting innovation and development in the field of waste heat recovery together.
