Making sustainable progress possible.
Transforming waste into power
Cat® generators are designed for maximum efficiency in extended-duty distributed generation and cogeneration applications. Already operating in 5,800 installations worldwide, the range uses the very latest gas engine technology with electrical outputs from 400kWe to 4,300kWe. The generators can operate on gases of varying quality, including natural gas, biogases such as landfill, digester and sewerage gas, coke gas and coal mine methane.
With a big focus on renewable energy and reducing carbon emissions, landfill gas-to-energy projects use Cat® generators to turn waste into economically viable electricity – this is an important and growing application within the world’s power generation mix for the collection, process and treatment of this gas for use in generating electricity.
Cat generators can help to capture and use waste coal mine gas to help mitigate its impact on the environment.
We collaborate with companies dedicated to advancing clean technology solutions. Contact us today to learn how our power solutions can support your waste-to-energy projects and contribute to a sustainable future.
Landfill gas is captured through a perforated well pipe and gathering system with the gas extracted from the landfill into a compressor station, processed, and used as a fuel source. Modern landfills install gas collection systems to capture and destroy the naturally produced methane where it is turned into a renewable fuel via a gas-fuelled generator that produces electric power.
