Energy efficiency may seem like an obvious solution to the current energy security crisis, but it isn’t always grasped because there are significant hurdles. Marco Baresi from the Italian company Turboden, part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, was at COP27 to tell people about a new energy efficiency in gas infrastructure project it is developing in Egypt.

The Dahshour Project is the first in the world to adopt a scheme to recover waste heat in gas infrastructure transportation stations using Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology. This project, with financial support from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, is developing a gas compressor station with around 70% increased pumping capacity.
“The technology is available, proven and economically feasible at the current stage,” Baresi said. “We need to be more committed in increasing efficiency and reducing the cost of the technology in order to make this project more available for the market.
“We are in the transition period, so we have not to think to switch from fossil fuel to renewable in one day,” he added, to emphasise the value of this kind of energy efficiency in gas infrastructure projects.
Turboden is a global leader in the design, manufacture and maintenance of ORC systems highly suitable for distributed generation. These systems can generate electric and thermal power from multiple sources including renewables (biomass, geothermal energy, solar energy), traditional fuels and waste heat.
