The company's technology uses small to medium-sized industrial heat sources in the low-temperature range to generate electricity. Potential applications for the solution include engines, industrial processes, and ships. The Orcan Energy systems sold in 2022 alone are expected to save approximately one million tons of CO2 over their lifetime.

Our solutions have a real impact on global emissions—now and even more so in the future. To illustrate the impact: If we were to supply just the global cement industry with our products, we could avoid more than 0.5 gigatons of CO2."

says Andreas Sichert, CEO and co-founder of Orcan Energy.

"With a simple solution, our customers can significantly reduce their energy costs and rely on stable prices in volatile times. Our business is experiencing exceptional growth rates despite clear global challenges. We are scaling our company significantly because we have the right products and partners, as well as a proven track record. This success is reflected in our oversubscribed financing round. I am delighted to welcome the two new investors on board, who fully share our vision."
