The company, which is the European arm of Vancouver-based International Wastewater Systems (IWS), has moved into Clyde Gateway's Red Tree Bridgeton building.
In May 2017, SHARC was awarded £5 million of funding from the Low Carbon Infrastructure Transition Programme (LCITP) to install its innovative new technology at five locations across Scotland, including Clyde Gateway's Shawfield and Dalmarnock developments.
The schemes are being developed in partnership with Scottish Water Horizons and will use the technology to heat Clyde Gateway's commercial buildings.

Martin McKay, Executive Director of Regeneration at Clyde Gateway said: "We are delighted that IWS has become the latest company to choose Clyde Gateway, in this case as the location for its new European headquarters. It is particularly exciting as SHARC Energy Systems will also be carrying out work at Clyde Gateway, to install its technology at our Shawfield and Dalmarnock developments.
"SHARC Energy Systems plans to use a significant waste water resource, located right in the heart of our regeneration area, to heat and cool buildings that we are looking to develop, which will have significant benefits for the Clyde Gateway area in terms of energy and cost savings."
Russ Burton, Chief Operating Officer at IWS, added: "Funding from the LCITP has created the confidence for SHARC to recruit new employees and establish a dedicated Scottish office that is expected to become the headquarters for all UK and European SHARC activity.
"With a potential heating demand of 22MW, the Clyde Gateway development creates an opportunity for SHARC to demonstrate the capacity of our technology to deliver a truly carbon efficient district heat network service."
