Climeon

50% of all energy generated from industrial processes, power stations and transportation ends up as waste heat, polluting our skies and contaminating the sea. Climeon is the world leader in converting low temperature waste heat into electricity. Climeon also utilizes geothermal heat to produce sustainable electricity with the earth’s own resources. Up to 30% of the world’s electricity production may come from the renewable baseload Heat Power in the future..

Our offer

By exploiting the temperature difference between hot and cold water (or heat exchange of gas or steam with hot water), the Climeon Heat Power system converts waste heat into clean electricity.

The Climeon system combines high efficiency and low overall cost, driving significant savings in fuel and electricity costs, to create a powerful business case for the utilization of waste heat. Electricity production from low temperature waste heat has been problematic in the past, with traditional solutions failing to achieve sufficient efficiency to be economically viable. Climeon is unique having found a way to economically utilize waste heat at temperatures as low as 70 °C. The technology operates at low pressure levels in comparison to traditional heat power solutions. For example, Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) which operate at much higher pressure levels, are both larger in size and less efficient at the low temperatures where the bulk of waste heat is found. Climeon’s low pressure levels allow delivery of up to 50% higher efficiencies than other solutions on the market, while creating a smaller CO₂ footprint from manufacturing.

Why Climeon?

• Low Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) through high efficiency and low maintenance cost
• Modular design which is easily scalable from 150kW to 50MW and beyond
• The system comes as a complete product that can be connected to any heat source
