Natural Gas
Lower emissions with natural gas cogeneration applications.
Natural gas is a viable option in the energy transition and can help reduce carbon emissions compared with other energy sources.
Our dedicated Jenbacher experts are available to provide personal consultation.
Natural gas is a suitable, dispatchable alternative to the increasing proportion of non-dispatchable, fluctuating renewables in global power grids. Natural gas can be deployed immediately to serve as a substitute.
Benefits of natural gas power plants
- Up to 95% total efficiency in cogeneration mode
- Reduced emissions
- Lower energy-related operational costs
- Fuel availability
- Reliability
Renewable natural gas power generation
In addition to natural gas from fossil sources, natural gas can be derived from renewables. Also called biomethane, renewable natural gas (RNG) often comes from agricultural waste or landfills, where it is turned into an energy source (biogas). The biogas then is upgraded to a quality that resembles that of natural gas. Fully interchangeable with natural gas, it can be fed into the existing natural gas pipeline network. The advantage? RNG uses waste to keep CO2 from the atmosphere while helping to decarbonize the gas grid.
The use of RNG in our Jenbacher engines is just one of many sustainable energy solutions from INNIO, with engines capable of efficient operation on a variety of renewable energy sources.
