== Advantages ==
The recovery process will add to the efficiency of the process and thus decrease the costs of fuel and energy consumption needed for that process.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tapping Industrial Waste Heat Could Reduce Fossil Fuel Demands |url=https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/04/090401102235.htm

===Indirect benefits===
* Reduced
* Reduced equipment sizes: As fuel consumption reduces, the control and security equipment for handling the fuel decreases. Also, filtering equipment for the gas is no longer needed in large sizes.
* Reduced auxiliary energy consumption: Reduced equipment sizes means another reduction in the energy fed to those systems like pumps, filters, fans,...etc.
== Disadvantages ==
{{Unreferenced section|date=March 2024}}
* Capital cost to implement a waste heat recovery system may outweigh the benefit gained in heat recovered. It is necessary to put a cost to the heat being offset.
* Often waste heat is of low quality (temperature). It can be difficult to efficiently utilize the quantity of low quality heat contained in a waste heat medium.
