Enhancing energy security and sustainability in cement plants through Turboden ORC technology

The cement industry is entering a new phase, driven by the need to improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon intensity, and strengthen operational resilience. In this context, ORC technology is proving its value as a mature and reliable solution for Waste Heat to Power applications.

Turboden’s experience in the cement sector demonstrates how recoverable heat from clinker production can be converted into clean, water-free electricity, supporting both sustainability goals and operational competitiveness.

With numerous ORC systems installed in cement plants, more than 460 ORC units implemented worldwide, and new large-scale projects such as the 13 MW Waste Heat to Power plant at Riyadh Cement Company, Turboden continues to demonstrate how ORC technology can deliver reliable, flexible, and cost-effective power generation for modern cement production.
