Abstract: This work investigates the original Penrose process (PP), as well as black hole (BH) thermodynamics, within the framework of conformal Weyl gravity. The theory is characterized by the dimensionful constants $$\gamma $$ γ , which encodes the asymptotic rotational curvature of galactic rotation curves in an otherwise asymptotically flat spacetime, and $$\kappa $$ κ , which is associated with the cosmological background constant $$\Lambda $$ Λ . We determine the locations of the event horizon and the extreme configurations for rotating BHs in this theory, and we provide both perturbative and exact expressions for the event horizon radius. The geodesic equations are restricted to the equatorial plane, and the corresponding dynamics, including energy extraction processes, are studied exclusively in this plane. As the principal results, we examine the feasibility and efficiency of the original PP, analyze BH deceleration mechanisms, and test the validity of the four laws of BH thermodynamics in the context of conformal Weyl gravity.
