Sustainability at Clarke Energy

Our core offering in combined heat and power (CHP) enables high-efficiency energy generation, with electrical and thermal efficiency rates up to 90%. CHP reduces primary energy use and emissions by simultaneously producing power and useful heat. Our service teams also deliver energy efficiency upgrades to existing systems, supporting clients in meeting regulatory and sustainability goals.

We design and deliver energy systems that generate or are powered by renewable gases such as biogas and biomethane. Clarke Energy’s biogas CHP solutions are deployed within anaerobic digestion facilities, enabling the recycling of agricultural, industrial, and municipal organic waste. Our upgraded systems convert raw biogas into biomethane suitable for grid injection or vehicle fuel, further enhancing sustainability and replacing fossil fuels.

We specialise in delivering resilient, distributed energy systems including microgrids, hybrid energy solutions, and CHP systems. These technologies provide power security for critical applications such as hospitals and data centres. Our microgrid projects integrate solar, BESS, CHP, and backup generation to ensure energy availability during outages or grid instability.

Clarke Energy integrates carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) technologies into our energy systems. Captured CO₂ can be processed for reuse in industrial, food-grade, or agricultural applications, closing the carbon loop. We also recover biogenic CO₂ from biogas upgrading processes.

Our CHP and trigeneration systems decarbonise heating processes in industrial and commercial settings. These deliver tangible carbon savings versus grid electricity even when natural gas fuelled. When powered by renewable fuels like biogas or hydrogen, these systems drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining high efficiency.

Data centres are vital infrastructure with high energy demands. Clarke Energy provides sustainable energy systems for hyperscale, co-located, and edge facilities. Our combined cooling, heat and power (CCHP) systems offer efficient energy and cooling using cleaner fuels. Hybrid engine and BESS systems help to balance volatile loads. We also implement microgrids for data centres, optimising performance and emissions outcomes.

Our energy systems often integrate into waste management operations. Biogas from food waste, wastewater, and landfill gas is captured and used to generate power and heat or upgraded into biomethane or renewable natural gas (RNG). This not only avoids methane release but also reduces landfill volumes and recovers value from organic waste streams.

Methane, a potent short-lived climate pollutant and greenhouse gas, is targeted in several of our solutions. We capture methane from landfills, flare gas in oil and gas operations, coal mines, and anaerobic digesters, converting it into electricity and heat. These projects avoid harmful methane emissions, supporting global emissions reduction targets.
