Instead of burning additional fuel, the model captures heat already produced at facilities such as pipeline compressor stations and uses a heat exchanger and organic Rankine cycle. Kanin’s Washington Court House project with Tallgrass entered operation in May 2026 and supplies electricity to the University of Dayton through the Ohio grid.","Tran said in the interview that the project covers the electricity needs of the university’s 11,000-student campus and reduces emissions by about 71%. Kanin’s project page lists 9.2 MW and 78,000 MWh per year; it says the facility covers 100% of the university’s load and reduces total CO₂ emissions by 70%. The sources round the percentage differently and do not explain a methodological difference. These are company project figures and the CEO’s statements.","Tran also said Kanin is developing a 7-MW project at a Phillips 66 natural-gas processing facility in Colorado, where recovered heat is expected to displace power generated by burning gas. The interview includes company estimates of the wider North American opportunity. Those estimates should be read as Kanin’s market assessment, not as installed capacity or verified regional potential."],"key_points":[],"sections":[]},"text":"Kanin Energy’s CEO discussed converting existing facility heat into power for industry and a university campus.\n\nIn a company-authored recap of a Path to Zero interview published by Kanin Energy on 3 September 2026, co-founder and CEO Janice Tran’s approach to producing electricity from industrial waste heat was presented.
