Lower Operating Costs and Lower Emissions with Cogeneration.

Cat® gas generator sets can simultaneously provide electricity for electrical loads and heat energy for a facility's thermal requirements. Any Cat natural gas-fuelled engine can be configured specifically for applications involving heat recovery. 

Where grid electricity and natural gas boilers often provide less than 50 percent efficiency, Cat® Combined Heat and Power (CHP) projects offer additional benefits:
  • Energy efficiency up to 90 percent
  • Cheaper relative to separate heat and electrical generation systems
  • Lower emissions than separate heat and electrical generation systems
  • Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification available via energy efficiency credits

Craft Brewery Powers Cogen System with Wastewater Byproducts

One of the byproducts of brewing beer is wastewater rich in biodegradable materials. Bell’s Brewery had been examining alternatives for turning its wastewater byproduct into energy, commissioning a bioenergy facility that includes three anaerobic digesters to convert biodegradable contents of the wastewater into methane-rich biogas to power a Cat® G3406 generator set as part of a cogeneration system.

Hospital Doubles Down On Commitment To Energy Efficiency

As part of an energy-savings initiative, Saint Peter’s University Hospital installed a 2 MW combined heat and power (CHP) plant powered by a Cat® G3516H natural gas-fueled generator set, which allows the hospital to remain fully operational during a grid power outage. By running the CHP plant continuously, Saint Peter’s saves approximately $200,000 to $300,000 in annual energy costs.

W.R. grace depends on cogeneration to offset energy costs 

The W.R. Grace & Co. Curtis Bay facility runs 24/7, producing catalysts and silicas for a variety of applications. When aging infrastructure caused power to become unreliable at the plant, the company turned to its Cat® dealer to commission a combined heat and power (CHP) system powered by two Cat generator sets to supply reliable power and lower energy costs.
