United States: Recent Industry Developments

✅ In November 2025, Ormat Technologies commissioned a new geothermal ORC plant in Nevada The plant utilizes lower-temperature geothermal brine that was previously considered non-viable It expands the potential resource base for U.S. geothermal energy

✅ In October 2025, Turboden (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries) installed an ORC system at a U.S. cement plant The system captures waste heat from the kiln to generate electricity for the facility It helps heavy industry in the U.S. reduce its carbon footprint

✅ In September 2025, ElectraTherm deployed a fleet of modular ORC generators at oil wells in North Dakota The units run on flare gas to power onsite equipment, reducing methane emissions It turns a waste liability into an asset for U.S. oil producers

✅ In August 2025, The DOE announced funding for "Next-Gen" ORC fluids with low global warming potential The research targets fluids that offer high efficiency without environmental risks It supports the sustainability of the U.S. waste heat recovery sector

Japan: Recent Industry Developments

✅ In December 2025, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries launched a compact ORC generator for small factories The "Binary Power" unit is designed to recover heat from industrial furnaces and boilers It promotes energy conservation in Japan's SME manufacturing sector

✅ In November 2025, Fuji Electric installed an ORC system at a biomass power plant in Hokkaido The system improves the overall plant efficiency by utilizing low-grade waste heat It supports the profitability of biomass energy in Japan

✅ In October 2025, A Japanese hot spring resort installed a micro-ORC unit to generate power for its hotel The unit uses the hot spring water before it enters the baths It represents a unique "Onsen Power" application in Japan

✅ In September 2025, Kobelco released a new screw expander for ORC systems The expander offers higher durability and efficiency than traditional turbines for small-scale applications It enhances the technology options for Japanese waste heat recovery

Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) Waste Heat to Power Market: Drivers
The ORC waste heat to power market is driven by the need to improve energy efficiency in industrial operations. Rising energy costs are encouraging industries to recover low- and medium-temperature waste heat. ORC systems enable power generation from previously unused thermal sources. Heavy industries such as cement, steel, and chemicals are key adopters. Sustainability goals are reinforcing interest in waste heat recovery solutions.

Stricter emission regulations are pushing manufacturers to reduce carbon footprints through energy optimization. ORC systems support decarbonization without disrupting core processes. Advancements in working fluids and turbine design are improving system efficiency. Growing investments in industrial energy retrofits are supporting adoption. The focus on circular energy use strengthens long-term demand.
