Industrial Process Heat to Clean Power
produce on-site sustainable power from low-grade waste heat
Industrial processes generate large amounts of low-temperature waste heat, traditionally seen as uneconomical for power generation. Climeon’s HeatPower 300 changes this, converting low-grade waste heat into cost-efficient, on-site clean electricity. By utilizing excess heat, industries can lower cooling demands, reduce energy costs, and decrease CO₂ emissions.

Metals
Metals production, such as steel, iron and aluminum, generates large amounts of low-temperature waste heat, making it an ideal source for efficient electricity generation through HeatPower technology.
Chemicals
The production of chemicals used in products such as pharmaceuticals, plastics, and fertilizers generates significant low-grade waste heat, making it an optimal case for ORC conversion of heat to power.
Food & Beverage
The food and beverage industry, through processes like pasteurization, drying, and brewing, generates significant low-temperature waste heat that is a perfect fit for ORC electricity production.
other
Industries like paper, cement, and glass manufacturing release large amounts of waste heat from processes like kilning, drying, and melting, making them excellent candidates for electricity generation.

Climeon Insights
Safeguarding Europe’s EIIs with Low-Temp Waste Heat Recovery
Energy Intensive Industries (EIIs) in Europe are grappling with elevated and volatile electricity prices driven by a combination of geopolitical tensions, market shifts, and the energy transition. This situation is prompting industries to seek solutions that balance affordability, sustainability, and energy security.
Climeon Insights
Fueling the EU’s Industrial Sector with Cost-Efficient, Sustainable Power
Although the price of electricity in 2023 was substantially lower than in 2022, industrial companies in the European Union were still paying almost twice the amount for electricity than their American and global counterparts (IEA, 2024). For energy-intensive industrial companies, these increased costs make it difficult to remain competitive in a global market.

What is Industrial Waste Heat Recovery?
Industrial processes typically use and/or produce vast amounts of waste heat, which is often underutilized or overlooked entirely. However, companies can increase the energy efficiency of their operations by reusing this waste heat.
Heatpower Installations
SSAB: Steel Waste Heat to Power
Steel manufacturing is both energy-intensive and impactful on the environment, globally and locally. To support the Swedish steel industry's goal of more sustainable production, SSAB, a leading global steel manufacturer, integrated Climeon’s HeatPower solution at its Borlänge site. This system converts waste heat from the reheating furnace and continuous annealing line into clean electricity. The remaining heat is then fed into the district heating network. As part of SSAB's commitment to a fossil-free future, this initiative marks a crucial step towards environmentally-friendly steel production.
