The paper is focused on local recovery of flue gas waste heat from industrial combustion equipment (such as process furnaces, water- or steam-boilers, etc.). A simple and systematic assessment is introduced evaluating overall amount of produced carbon dioxide related to a specific option of the available flue gas waste heat recovery (FGWHR). The assessment compares the total CO2 balance each of locally available option of FGWHR including production of CO2 associated with the FGWHR system realization and savings of CO2 associated with the FWGHR system operation. Based on an assessment of the total CO2 balance of all potentially competitive options of FGWHR applicable in a considered location it is possible to identify the most environmentally friendly option of FGWHR system.
