Building an abundant low‑cost clean energy future

At Critical Energy, we’re building factory-made, modular power plants that convert heat into electricity — shipped in standard containers and installed in weeks, not years.

Our units are deployable across energy markets, starting with geothermal and waste heat recovery from onsite generation, including gas turbines and reciprocating engines.

Designed from the ground up with custom turbomachinery, our units are adaptable to changing resource conditions, temperature ranges, and customer needs.  This is 24/7 grid-scale energy — made fast, scalable, and cost-effective.

How it works

We generate electricity using an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC): heat vaporizes a specialized working fluid, which expands to spin a turbine and drive a generator. The vapor is then condensed back into liquid and recirculated in a closed loop — with no consumables and no emissions. This surface-level system provides a continuous, efficient way to turn heat into power.
