How does Turboden support the energy transition in hard-to-abate sectors?

Turboden supports the energy transition in hard-to-abate sectors, that is, energy-intensive industries such as steel, chemicals, cement, oil & gas, and paper, where reducing CO₂ emissions is particularly challenging to achieve using conventional technologies. To do so, it provides advanced technological solutions for power generation and heat electrification, combining solid technical expertise in carbon emission mitigation with the ability to optimize processes throughout the entire project lifecycle.

Energy generation solutions:

• ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) systems: closed-loop technologies that efficiently generate electricity and heat from a wide range of heat sources, including renewable energy, industrial waste heat, and high-temperature production processes. Operating without water or steam and using organic fluids, ORC systems are compact, reliable, and ideal for distributed generation and low- and medium-temperature heat recovery, improving energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
• Gas expanders: solutions to improve the efficiency of natural gas networks by recovering the energy released during pressure reduction and converting it into clean electricity. Turboden expanders transform otherwise wasted energy into useful power, increasing sustainability in gas transmission and distribution systems.

Heat electrification solutions:

• High-temperature heat pumps: innovative systems for the electrification of hot water and industrial steam. Turboden high-temperature heat pumps generate electrified heat at any capacity and up to 250°C, including in the form of steam, opening up new opportunities for decarbonization in the most energy-intensive industrial processes.
