Using biogas as your energy source can help reduce
a site’s total greenhouse gas emissions.
Generate cost-effective power directly on-site, reducing reliance on external sources and optimizing resources.
Elimination of odor and pest issues that are caused by the decomposition of organic material.
Rock Creek Dairy, operating with 9,000 cows, addressed odor and methane concerns by implementing an anaerobic digester system and two Cat® 3520C gas generators optimized for biogas use. This solution efficiently converted methane into electricity, resolving concerns and delivering reliable power for both the facility and the local energy grid.
Cat® Mobile Generators Provide Power and Save Grain Following Deadly Tornado
A Cat® dealer helped Memphis-based Callan Salvage & Appraisal dispatch mobile generators to power Mayfield Grain. The portable power helped to save 6,800 trailer loads of grain worth more than $30 million.

Finning technicians helped identify and assist with the necessary modifications to the enclosure to house the new C18 generator set. Highline Mushrooms plans to add an additional Cat generator set to supply backup power to a future addition.
Learn MoreSolar Power Keeps Costs Down At Poultry Farm
With its energy bill representing a whopping 50 percent of its total operating costs, Buck Creek Farm needed a power source that could offset sharp increases in the price of utility power. With the installation of a Cat® solar power system, a combination of tax and utility credits significantly reduces the farm’s energy costs each year.
Learn MoreCombined Heat and Power (CHP) solution works
Seacliff collects vegetable and animal waste from nearby farms and greenhouses, generating enough biogas to fuel a power plant designed and supplied by the local Cat® Dealer, Toromont Cat Power Systems. The facility can currently process up to 40,000 metric tons of organic waste per year, which will increase to 100,000 metric tons once Phase II is complete. At that time, Seacliff will have the largest energy producing anaerobic digester in North America.
