Renewable Energy Solutions
Integrating renewables, storage, and dispatchable power to deliver reliable, low-carbon energy.
Overview: Bridging Renewables and Reliability
The global energy transition is accelerating, driven by the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase resilience. Clarke Energy delivers integrated renewable energy systems that combine:
• Biogas-fuelled combined heat and power (CHP)
• Biogas upgrading to biomethane (renewable natural gas)
• Solar PV and wind integration
• Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
• Hydrogen-ready peaking plants
By pairing intermittent renewable generation with dispatchable, low-carbon power, we maximise renewable penetration while maintaining supply security for utilities, industries, and communities.
Biogas-Fuelled Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
Clarke Energy is a global leader in biogas-to-power projects, delivering CHP systems that turn organic waste streams into renewable electricity and heat.
• Fuel sources: Agricultural waste, wastewater sludge, food waste, and landfill gas
• Benefits: On-site energy generation, reduced methane emissions, lower energy costs, and improved waste management
• Applications: Wastewater treatment works, agricultural facilities, industrial processing plants
By capturing and utilising the heat from electricity generation, biogas CHP systems can reach total efficiencies above 80% and deliver continuous, renewable power even when wind or solar output is low.
Alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Clarke Energy’s renewable gas production projects contribute to:
• SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy: Expanding access to clean, renewable fuels
• SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure: Building sustainable fuel production infrastructure
• SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production: Using waste and renewable resources efficiently
• SDG 13 – Climate Action: Reducing emissions in energy, heat, and transport sectors

Renewable Integration with Peaking Plants
Biogas Upgrading to Biomethane
In addition to on-site power generation, Clarke Energy offers biogas upgrading plants that refine raw biogas into biomethane (renewable natural gas) for injection into the gas grid or use as vehicle fuel.
• CO₂ removal: State-of-the-art upgrading technologies separate methane from CO₂
• Sustainability: Biomethane can replace fossil natural gas in power generation, heating, or transport
• Revenue potential: Biomethane can be sold into renewable gas markets under green gas incentive schemes
Upgraded biomethane can also be paired with hydrogen-ready gas engines or fed into district heating and industrial energy networks.
Hybrid Energy Systems
Our hybrid systems combine renewable generation with BESS and CHP, delivering:
• Grid stability during variable solar and wind output
• Rapid-response power during demand spikes or outages
• Off-grid capability via microgrid control platforms
Clarke Energy hybrid microgrids can operate in grid-connected or island mode, making them ideal for remote operations, industrial parks, and data centres.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
BESS captures surplus renewable energy and releases it during peak demand, enabling:
• Reduced curtailment of solar, wind, and biogas generation
• Frequency regulation and grid balancing
• Energy cost savings through peak shaving
We provide turnkey BESS projects for both grid-scale and behind-the-meter applications, engineered for seamless integration with CHP, solar, and wind.
Renewable Integration with Peaking Plants
When renewable output drops—such as at night or during low wind—hydrogen-ready gas peaking stations provide rapid, dispatchable power.
• Fast-start capability ensures security of supply in seconds
• Can operate on low-carbon or renewable fuels including biomethane
• Supports higher renewable penetration without sacrificing reliability
