Sustainable Application of Reciprocating Gas Engines Operating on Alternative Fuels

From Caterpillar Electric Power
 

 

The concern for the anthropogenic release of methane (CH4) into the environment and methane's
potential for global warming-21 times higher than that of carbon dioxide-continues to draw
international attention. As such, those engaged in industries such as coal mining, landfills,
agriculture and wastewater treatment are looking for ways to safely and economically mitigate
the release of methane-based gases.

Products & Services
Electrical power generators transform mechanical energy into electrical energy, typically for backup or emergency power. Generators can produce either AC or DC power and are typically powered by a fuel engine. Search by Specification | Learn more about Electrical Power Generators
