Biogas Gensets
Biogas is a sustainable, economical, and efficient alternative to fuels like diesel and natural gas. Cat® gas gensets have been designed to help you maximise the long-range cost savings and environmental benefits from biogas.
What is biogas?
We understand your goal is to lower greenhouse gas emissions and reach your sustainability goals, but you need to do so in a way that makes economic sense. It’s a challenging task, but biogas could be the exact answer your business needs.
Biogas is an economical alternative to fuels like diesel and natural gas. It uses your organic waste sources (municipal solid waste, landfill, manure, wastewater sludge, crop residues) to produce valuable energy. When combined with cogeneration, or a combined heat and power (CHP) solution, you can also provide heating and thermal power to your sites.
This makes biogas a long-term solution to deliver power in a cost-effective way no matter how the energy landscape shifts, while minimizing the impact of accumulated waste.
How Does A Biogas Plant Work?
- Create Biogas:
Various source materials, known as organic waste, go into anaerobic digester(s) and create biogas. - Fuel Your Power Assets:
This biogas fuels the generator sets, which produce energy for your site(s). - Maximize with CHP:
When the generator sets are running, they produce heat, which is usually wasted and released into the surrounding environment. With a CHP solution, you can recapture that waste heat energy and use it to provide thermal heating and hot water to your sites, saving you using additional energy.
What are the benefits of biogas?
Who Can benefit from biogas?
Agriculture & Livestock
Agricultural residues such as manure and slurry can be used in biogas production and can mitigate further air, soil and water pollution.
Landfill & Waste Management
Landfill waste produces a significant amount of methane. By capturing biogas in landfills, you can significantly reduce your greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Wastewater Treatment
Treating sewage can efficiently convert leftover sludge to biogas energy, helping communities lower their waste treatment costs.
Food Production & Operations
For the food and beverage industry, a biogas solution can be extremely beneficial, producing both energy and cleaner wastewater effluent.
