A Viable Alternative in Electric Power Production

Caterpillar offers durable and reliable solutions for the use of biogas. The initial investment can yield significant long-range savings, in addition to being environmentally responsible. Biogas, which is derived as a byproduct of many agricultural, food processing and industrial processes, is used today as a fuel source for engine generators.

By tapping into biogas resources with proven Caterpillar technology, agricultural biogas and industrial biogas projects result in the:

• Reduction of carbon emissions through the destruction of naturally occurring methane
• Reclamation of valuable land space normally utilized for purifying organic wastewater
• Elimination of odor and pest issues that are caused by the decomposition of organic material

How It Works

Consisting primarily of methane and carbon dioxide, biogas is produced through the anaerobic decomposition of organic waste. Instead of allowing uncontrolled decomposition of these wastes … read more
