THE NEW BIOGAS SYSTEMS mtu SERIES 4000
Biogas is an effective, efficient fuel option for a sustainable future. Agricultural farms, sewage and wastewater treatment plants, as well as landfills are already benefiting from its use and potential as a revenue stream. All of our generator sets combine the highest performance with the lowest emissions in the 760 kWe - 2,540 kWe power range.
From biomass to megawatts — generating a sustainable source of income with agricultural waste
The energy transition is already beginning around the globe and across all markets. It brings with it many challenges, but also numerous opportunities for positive change. One very promising fuel for generating clean, economical and sustainable electricity and heat is biogas. Simple to produce through the fermentation of organic matter, it is truly a reliable fuel for the future.
Biogas has three major advantages: It can be stored, it is very economical to produce, and it is very eco-friendly. Our new generation of mtu gas gensets allows for cost-saving, sustainable and efficient operation using biogas. Continuously updated and further developed for over 25 years, the mtu Series 4000 optimizes the use of biogas both for primary power supply and to balance energy peaks. And best of all: It also creates the potential for a new revenue stream through waste-to-energy applications.
Multiple applications
The Series 4000 biogas gensets are ideal for a variety of applications.
Livestock Operations
With mtu biogas combined heat and power (CHP) systems, confined livestock operations can put organic material to efficient use. Our proven CHP systems provide renewable energy with lower emissions and reduced lifecycle costs.
Sewage / Waste water treatment plants
The use of combined heat and power plants in wastewater treatment is an economical and environmentally friendly solution for generating electricity and heat from sewage gas. Like landfill gas, sewage gas is an extremely productive fuel that is free and readily available.
Farming and Agriculture
Yet another source of renewable energy – sugar industry waste – can also be used to produce biogas. As a substitute for fossil fuels, biogas can generate electricity and heat, thereby offering a double benefit for plant owners.
Waste-to-energy operators
Landfill gas is a mix of methane and carbon dioxide. Instead of being emitted into the atmosphere as a harmful greenhouse gas for the environment, it can be collected directly at the landfill and used to produce renewable energy.
