CAT® GAS GENERATOR SETS
CAT® GAS GENERATOR SETS

Designed to provide flexible, reliable power in prime applications.

Get the reliable power you need with lower fuel costs. Industrial and commercial gas generator sets from Caterpillar are designed to provide dependable power in prime and standby applications.

HOW CHOOSING A CAT® GAS GENERATOR CAN BENEFIT YOUR BUSINESS

  • High Reliability. Using pipeline natural gas, where available, rather than diesel means you don’t have to worry about running out of fuel. Plus, you avoid the challenges and risks associated with fuel storage, such as location and availability.
  • More Fuel Options. Much of our gas generator portfolio can also be configured to operate on a variety of low carbon-intensity renewable fuels, including biogas, and blended fuels, such as hydrogen.
  • Complete System Integration. We build durable, low-lifecycle cost power systems that can be integrated with controls; exhaust systems; fuel train; combined cooling, heat, and power skids; and switchgear. 
  • Reduced Emissions. Clean burning fuel results in three times less NOx emissions relative to diesel, reducing total site emissions.
