Micro Turbines, Massive Impact: Recovering Thermal Energy at Scale
In this episode of Green Disruptors, host Megan Kjar sits down with Dave Wells, VP at NLINE Energy, to explore how micro steam turbines are transforming wasted pressure into renewable electricity — without burning additional fuel.
With 30 years in the energy industry and a track record in successful startups like EnerNOC, Dave explains how NLINE is scaling a technology that can generate up to 2 million+ kWh per year per unit by simply bypassing existing pressure reduction valves in high-pressure steam systems.
We cover:
✅ The origin story behind NLINE’s breakthrough
✅ How thermal energy recovery works (in real-world terms)
✅ Why hospitals, universities, lumber mills, and paper manufacturers are prime candidates
✅ Payback timelines and financial impact
✅ Go-to-market strategy and the importance of awareness
✅ The scalability of a turbine that literally fits through a standard boiler room door
If you’re working in industrial sustainability, energy efficiency, or decarbonization strategy — this one’s a must-listen.
