Orcan Energy, the leading CleanTech Company, which develops solutions for the use of industrial waste heat, and Adolf Gottfried Tonwerke GmbH were awarded with a prestigious industry prize for their innovative waste heat utilization project in the energy-intensive extraction of raw materials for the ceramic industry. The project received the Energy Efficiency Award in the "Energiewende 2.0" category, which the German Energy Agency (Dena) presented yesterday evening at its Energiewende-Kongress in Berlin.

Today, around half of the heat used in industry is lost. It is released into the air, even though it is very valuable. If industrial waste heat were used optimally, more than 23 terawatt hours of carbon-free, clean electricity could be generated per year in Germany alone. This in turn could supply 7.3 million, or 18 percent, of all German households.

Lässt sich die Abwärme bei der Stahlumformung zur Stromerzeugung nutzen?

Seit einer innovativen Anlagenmodernisierung lassen sich aus Abwärme jährlich bis zu 100 MWh Strom für weitere Prozessschritte erzeugen. Gleichzeitig werden Einsparungen bei der Kühlung sowie ein geringerer CO2-Ausstoß erzielt.

Almost 18 percent of all German households could already be supplied with clean electricity if we were to make the best possible use of the entire waste heat from our industry. How can this be achieved?

Orcan Energy, a leading manufacturer of energy efficiency solutions based on the proven Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology, and its joint venture partner VPower have reached a major milestone: In Myanmar, Southeast Asia, the world’s first 90-megawatt power plant fleet with 70 second-generation ORC products has been built and put into operation. "For Orcan Energy, this installation represents a giant leap towards efficient and sustainable power generation with engines," says Dr. Andreas Sichert, founder and CEO of Orcan Energy AG.

An energy-efficient cooling solution for engines and industrial processes - that's what the CleanTech company Orcan Energy now offers with its ORCAN cooler. The world's only dry-cooler that uses no electricity.
