    Company Overview

    Orcan Energy AG

    Munich, Bavaria, Germany

    2008

    Approximately 60 employees (Source: zoominfo.com). Estimated revenue of 16.3 million USD in 2023 (Source: signalhire.com).

    What They Do

    Orcan Energy AG focuses exclusively on Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology, a thermodynamic process that uses organic fluids to convert low-temperature waste heat into carbon-free electricity. This waste heat typically comes from sources with temperatures between 90 and 220 °C, such as cooling water from combustion engines, industrial processes, or geothermal fluids (Source: zoominfo.com). Core products include the two-part **efficiency PACK**, a modular, plug-and-play ORC device designed for mass application with reduced engineering requirements. These products are suitable for small to medium applications (up to 1 MW per unit) and offer a competitive cost structure compared to fossil fuels (Source: solarimpulse.com). Target markets include industry, marine, automotive, power generation, biogas, and geothermal, with Orcan serving customers such as manufacturers with waste heat from engines or processes (Source: zoominfo.com).

    Projects & Track Record

    Notable projects include the world's first ORC park in Myanmar, a 90 MW fleet project with 70 second-generation ORC units, which was commissioned in 2019 in collaboration with joint venture partner VPower (Source: zoominfo.com). Another significant project was the waste heat recovery at the Chevron San Ardo oil field in California, USA, where Orcan's ORC technology has been operational since July 2022 (Source: cbinsights.com). Additionally, six eP 150.200 efficiency PACKs were installed at the Wittekind Hugo Miebach Söhne KG cement plant in Erwitte, Germany, saving 4000 t CO2eq annually (Source: solarimpulse.com).

    Recent Developments

    In the past two years, there have been significant announcements, including the commissioning of the Chevron San Ardo project in November 2022, which highlights ORC technology for geothermal applications in the oil field (Source: cbinsights.com). In March 2022, a partnership between Orcan Energy and Baseload Capital was announced for the recovery of waste heat from geothermal sources in the US oil and gas sector (Source: growjo.com). Orcan also completed a growth financing round of 28.5 million euros to accelerate international services (Source: zoominfo.com).

    Working There

    Orcan Energy AG is hiring in engineering, production, sales, and technology, including positions such as Key Account Manager and Refrigeration Technician. The open positions are primarily located at the headquarters in Munich and the production site in Kirchweidach, Germany (Source: zoominfo.com). The company culture emphasizes innovation and international project collaboration, indicating a technical, engineering-driven environment. The number of employees has grown from 35 in 2013 to 60-108, indicating a dynamic growth phase (Source: lesi.org).
