Are project activities involving waste heat recovery eligible for emissions reductions?

Project activities involving waste heat recovery in industrial processes shall be eligible for emission reductions related to on-site energy consumption.

Emission reductions related to the export of heat or electricity generated from waste heat shall NOT be eligible unless it can be shown that the primary and unique source of energy for the industrial process is renewable energy. This requirement applies on an annual basis and the electricity generation profile does not have to necessarily match the on-site demand profile on an instantaneous basis.
