Cat® Gas Gensets Help Convert Biogas to Clean Energy

Biogas is a sustainable, economical, and efficient alternative to fuels like diesel and natural gas. Cat® gas gensets have been designed to help you maximize the long-range cost savings and environmental benefits from biogas.

Using biogas from organic waste to power Cat® biogas generators, you can:

  • Reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
  • Generate revenue sharing gas and energy with the grid network
  • Reclaim valuable land normally used for wastewater purification
  • Eliminate odor and pest issues

Overview of biogas offering from Cat Electric Power

 

 

Why Choose Caterpillar For Your Biogas Installation?

Cat biogas generators are specifically engineered to withstand the rigors of biogas applications. Key components are hardened against the corrosive properties of the gas, maximizing longevity and efficient operation. Your Cat generator handles variations in methane content with ease, while optimizing efficient, effective conversion of the gas to electrical power.

When a combined heat and power (CHP or cogeneration) system is added to the infrastructure, the efficiencies increase still further, generating electrical and thermal energy that can be used to provide space heat and/or hot water to your site.
