Waste Gas Solutions
Turn waste gas into energy
Waste gas, as a byproduct of industrial activities such as power generation, mining, oil and gas operations, or manufacturing, poses a significant environmental threat. When released into atmosphere, it contributes to global warming due to the high content of greenhouse gases.
While generation of waste gas from industrial processes is inevitable, Aggreko can help you turn your waste gas into energy and reduce your carbon footprint.
By capturing these gases and using them as fuel sources, you can power your operations and even create a new revenue stream by selling your waste gas to a third party while cutting net carbon emissions and boosting operational efficiency.

Types of waste gas
Biogas/landfill gas
Biogas, a mixture of gases such as methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, is produced by anaerobic digestion from organic waste, and is a significant source of renewable energy.
As an alternative to natural gas, it can be used in power generation, co-generation of electricity and heat (combined heat and power or CHP), or upgraded to biomethane and used as transport fuel.
Biogas is particularly attractive as the technology to produce it is relatively cheap and can be easily deployed in domestic settings. It can be used alongside natural gas fuel and has a zero-emissions production process. Using biogas can save up to 240% greenhouse gas emissions compared with fossil fuels.
If your facilities generate biogas / landfilled gas as a byproduct, Aggreko can help turn it to energy, for example, use it as fuel to generate power to send back to the grid, generating an additional revenue stream, or to use it for powering processes on site.
