Renewables and Energy Recovery
Clean and sustainable, renewable resources are vital in covering the world’s future energy supply. For future-proof energy recovery and energy storage technologies, we have your back as you tap into the vast potential of renewables resources.
Renewables and energy recovery applications
Make the efficiency of our renewables technology work for you. We deliver compressor expander solutions for these applications:
- geothermal ORC power plants
- waste heat recovery ORC power plants
- pressure letdown stations
Geothermal ORC power plants
Anchored firmly at the heart of your binary cycle Organic Rankine (ORC) based power plant, Atlas Copco turboexpanders help you to reliably harness low-to-mind temperature geothermal resources. Resources that represent the largest share of the world’s geothermal energy potential.
Waste heat recovery ORC power plants
Many industrial processes produce heat as a by-product. Otherwise released into the atmosphere, this waste heat can be recovered and turned into useful electrical power. Find out how Atlas Copco turboexpanders help you to convert lost energy from flue, stack or combustion gas into an power-saving asset.
Pressure letdown stations
With natural gas well on its way to becoming the world’s No. 1 energy source, pressure letdown stations are emerging as a growing field for emission-free electricity generation. Atlas Copco’s patented letdown solutions help you to reduce your pressure in an economical way, harvesting true green energy.
