USDoE Awards US$2M to PPG team for Advanced TE Materials

The US Department of Energy released the following in a News Article on Nov. 12, 2003:

Advanced Thermoelectric Materials for Efficient Waste Heat Recovery in
Process Industries – PPG Industries, Inc. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
in collaboration with Visteon Automotive Systems, Owens-Illinois,
Leadbetter, Michigan Technological University, and Pacific Northwest
National Laboratory, will develop high-efficiency thermoelectric energy
conversion materials and technology to recover waste energy from exhaust
gas and other infrastructure heat losses in industrial processing
plants. Significant energy efficiency improvements are expected for
process industries through retrofitting of furnaces with thermoelectric
generators for recovery and reuse of waste heat from melting. DOE will
contribute $1,950,000 of the total project cost of $3,615,000 for the
three-year project. jpattock [at] ppg [dot] com>Joni Pattock (jpattock [at] ppg [dot] com).
