Yes i believe it is possible to utilize the exhasut steam from factories to produce electricity, but this is a costly process which would require a constant pressure from said exhaust which is not always possible since factories are normally under work stoppages and find it difficult to maintain a high working rate. the minimum pressure required to produce any feasible power worth the initial retrofitting cost would be too high making the process not likely to be acceptable. But it still is possible, dream big baby.
Steam power allowed factories to move out of the countryside.
Steam-powered factories could be built in cities.
Machines in factories.
A water-powered factory did not create pollution and could only operate near water, but a steam-powered factory did create pollution and could operate anywhere on land
Vacuum is created in steam turbines to increase the efficiency of the turbine by lowering the pressure at the exhaust end, which allows the steam to expand and produce more work. This helps to generate more power from the same amount of steam.

Steam power is used today as a form of power for many things. Some of these include powering factories and mills.

steam engines
power machine tools and production machines
yes it did
