Power from Natural Gas:Â High Efficiency & Low Carbon
Commercial Cogeneration with Natural Gas
Combined heat and power (CHP), or cogeneration, offers a range of potential benefits for commercial applications. Cogeneration systems are successfully applied in a range of different applications including office buildings, airports and retail centres.
Industrial Cogeneration with Natural Gas
Gas engines based cogeneration, or combined heat and power (CHP), offers a range of potential benefits to industrial applications. Gas engine cogeneration systems can provide significant financial savings on fuel costs used to provide electricity and heat. In some countries the government provides tax benefits to the owner of combined heat and power plants.
Residential Cogeneration with Natural Gas
Combined heat and power (CHP), or cogeneration, offers a range of potential benefits for residential applications. Cogeneration systems are successfully applied in a wide range of residential applications. Gas engine cogeneration systems can provide significant financial savings on fuel costs used to provide electricity and heat. In some countries the government provides tax benefits to the owner of combined heat and power plants.
Electricity Peaking Stations Utilise Natural Gas
Electricity peaking stations,  also called peak-lopping plants, are power plants designed to help balance the fluctuating power requirements of the electricity grid.
Greenhouse CHP with Natural Gas
Gas engines are highly efficient at providing the stimulus for the growth of plants, whilst in parallel providing a flexible supply of electrical power. Heat, light and carbon dioxide (CO2) all promote plant growth. Gas engines provide electrical power at the alternator and when in a cogeneration configuration can also recover useful heat. Carbon dioxide is released in the exhaust gases of the engine as a by-product of the combustion of the fuel gas. Electrical power can be used to provide energy for lighting or can be exported to the grid, heat can be stored as hot water for use when needed and finally the CO2Â can be scrubbed and used to promote plant growth.
