Small Turbine ORC
There is a third solution for renewable energy production: heat to power conversion.
Indeed, the traditional solar photovoltaic and wind power plants cannot be considered as dependable electricity production without costly and environmentally debatable energy storage systems. However, by turning renewable heat or waste heat streams into electricity, you can produce all year long, 24/7, a clean and stable power.
ENOGIA designs and produces heat to power conversion systems, based on the combination of the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) with an exclusive and patented micro-turbine technology. The primary sources of heat may be solar CSP, biomass, geothermal sources, Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) on industrial processes or internal combustion engines (used as a bottoming cycle), solar CSP…
Furthermore, we also believe that this technological breakthrough shall be available not only for big energy producers and other large players, but as well for small businesses and transportation. HYDROSCOT ENERGIES in conjunction with ENOGIA share the vision of bringing this technology in everyone’s life by engineering compact and affordable devices. Currently, our ORC modules can be used in remote locations and are the smallest available units in the market, so you can basically use them everywhere !

Data Centre Waste Heat Recovery & ORC Power Generation
Data centres generate significant quantities of waste heat through their continuous cooling operations. Hydroscot Energies’ Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbine technology offers an opportunity to recover this thermal energy and convert it into useful electricity, improving overall data centre energy efficiency.
Our small-scale ORC turbine typically requires a heat source temperature of approximately 70°C or above. Where data centre cooling systems produce return water at lower temperatures, typically around 60°C, an integrated industrial heat pump can raise the water temperature to approximately 75–80°C, providing a suitable heat source for the ORC system.
By combining data centre waste heat recovery, heat pump technology and ORC electricity generation, operators can explore opportunities to recover otherwise unused thermal energy, reduce reliance on external electricity supplies and improve the sustainability of their facilities.
This approach is particularly relevant to liquid-cooled data centres, high-density computing facilities and AI data centres, where higher-temperature cooling circuits can create opportunities for heat recovery and energy reuse.
Contact Hydroscot Energies to discuss the potential for integrating ORC waste heat recovery technology into your data centre cooling infrastructure.
