electricity generation.
Electric Utilities
Caterpillar has led innovation to deliver stationary and Landfills and Wastewater Treatment Plants
containerized gas power plants to electric utilities Landfill and sewage gases are generated by communities
and district energy facilities around the world for both around the world as part of sanitary process infrastructure.
continuous grid support and peak electricity demand. Instead of destroying or flaring the methane gas produced,
communities make beneficial use of this fuel as part of a
sustainable energy program.
Mines
Mining operators increase mine safety and reduce
carbon emissions with coal gas, while many other mining Greenhouses
operations are realizing the benefits of onsite gas power In greenhouses, Cat gas generator sets simultaneously deliver
generation to support greenfield site development. electricity for lighting or sale to the local grid, hot water for
facility heating, and carbon dioxide as an organic fertilizer for
increased crop production.

Smaller footprint
The CG132 uses nearly 50 percent less
space than similar systems. Less space
means lower installation costs.
System control
Control the entire system, not just the engine,
with the Cat Total Electronic Management
System. Features like temperature and pressure
monitoring for each cylinder and anti-knock
control allow for maximum power output and
the best possible fuel utilization, even if gas
composition changes.
