Flare Gas Power Generation Solutions
We work with Oil and Gas companies to reduce carbon footprints and costs, and unlock new sources of revenue with flare gas to power solutions.
Repurposing flare gas for energy generation can be an excellent way of reducing your environmental impact and spend. But adopting flare gas to power can be a complex undertaking – gas volumes fluctuate over the lifetime of a project, making it technically challenging to use gas efficiently.
We help more than 180 operators use their flare gas more efficiently, providing modular generators, distribution equipment, and other solutions that materially reduce the cost of energy. This allows you to:
- Reduce the cost of flare tax
- Increase profit margins by reducing energy spend or selling excess energy to third parties
- Relieve stress on your local grid by adopting alternative energy from flare gas
- Reduce your carbon footprint by cutting down on gas flaring and wastage
- Adapt to varying gas quantities and qualities across the lifetime of your project with temporary, modular equipment that adapts to your needs

Turnkey, dependable solutions to reduce your operating costs and create new revenue streams
As APG volumes change over a project’s lifetime, and geological study estimates at feasibility stage are rarely accurate, our flexible offering is ideal for operators. We can match gas availability over the project lifetime and our equipment can be adjusted to match a wide range, including varying gas compositions.
While the quality of the some APG can prevent it’s use directly into our generators —such as high H2S or high-water content or low methane content. In most cases, these can be overcome with our in-house expert application knowledge and sophisticated engineering capabilities.
We can assume a wide scope of work both technically and commercially, and we are willing to invest in project infrastructure and to partner as an investor with operators where appropriate to deliver such projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Flare stacks are safety devices used on oil rigs to burn off excess gas during routine operations or emergencies. This controlled flaring prevents pressure build-up, protects equipment, and reduces the risk of explosions. While necessary, continuous flaring leads to high emissions and wasted energy. That’s why many operators now explore flare gas power generation solutions, turning what was once waste into a usable, cost-saving energy source.
Flaring is the process of burning off natural gas that can’t be captured or used, often during drilling, maintenance, or unplanned events. It’s common but environmentally costly – releasing CO2 and wasting valuable resources. By using flare gas energy conversion technologies, operators can reduce emissions, comply with regulations, and even generate usable energy or revenue from the gas they once burned off.
A flare system is designed to safely manage and burn surplus gas released during operations. It includes pipes, valves, and a flare stack that combusts the gas. Though critical for safety, flare systems often lead to environmental and financial losses. With Aggreko’s support, operators can integrate flare gas recovery technologies to capture and convert this gas into reliable, usable energy – cutting waste and emissions.
Aggreko helps transform flare systems from loss points into energy assets. Our modular, mobile solutions capture and convert flare gas into energy – even in remote areas – reducing emissions, supporting uptime, and unlocking new revenue streams. Whether for grid support or reducing gas flaring in oilfields, we deliver alternative energy from flare gas that aligns with your environmental and operational goals.
We design and deploy scalable, reliable solutions that convert flare gas into clean, usable energy. From industrial chillers and Tier 4 Final generators to real-time remote monitoring and control with Aggreko Connect, our equipment adapts to fluctuating gas quality and quantity. This creates sustainable energy from waste gas, reduces flaring, and helps meet strict emissions standards – without compromising performance or uptime.
