Organic Rankine Cycle turns 150–400 °C waste streams into electricity where no heat sink exists. The right answer only AFTER direct reuse options are exhausted.
| Metric | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Abatement cost | ≈€40–90/t CO2 | |
| Addresses | 5–20% of waste stream → kWh | of relevant emissions |
| Typical payback | 4–8 yr | |
| Carbon value at full price | €80.01/t avoided | EUA July 13, 2026 |
ORC converts 10–20% of captured heat to power — direct heat reuse delivers 80–95%. Use the hierarchy: insulate → exchange → upgrade (heat pump) → ORC last. Economic where heat is reliably continuous and power is expensive.
Boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and steam lines lose energy continuously. Inzonex makes Inzonex Modular Insulation — snap-fastened modules engineered per temperature tier, not generic off-the-shelf jackets:
Every tonne you stop emitting is a tonne you don't have to report: cutting heat loss is a measurable, auditable Scope 1 reduction that flows straight into EU ETS, CBAM and your ESG / CSRD disclosures — not an offset, an actual emission cut.
