Based on power output, the > 10 MWe segment was worth more than USD 85.2 million in 2022. Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems showcase an exceptional level of adaptability compared to other thermal energy harvesting methods. They're highly versatile, capable of generating power across a broad spectrum of capacities, from large-scale installations to smaller sources producing just a few kilowatts. What fuels the widespread adoption of this technology is its reputation as the most efficient and cost-effective way to convert thermal energy into mechanical or electrical power. The multitude of benefits, including superior efficiency, dependability, and adaptability, has led to an increased prevalence of ORC systems in installations surpassing 10 megawatts electric (>10 MWe).
North America region captured around 30.6% share of the geothermal ORC market in 2022. There's a growing interest in leveraging geothermal energy for power generation. ORC systems are becoming a favored choice due to their efficiency in harnessing low-temperature geothermal sources. As sustainability gains momentum, more attention is being directed towards renewable energy sources like geothermal, driving the adoption of ORC systems. Ongoing advancements in ORC technology are enhancing its efficiency and reliability. Innovations in materials and system designs are making ORC systems more adaptable to various geothermal conditions, thereby expanding their feasibility and applicability.
