How Cat® Generator Sets Produce Electric Power from Landfill Gas

- Modern landfills are required to install gas collection systems to capture and destroy the methane gasses that are naturally produced within a landfill. These gases are burned in a flare. Rather than eliminating landfill gas by simply burning it off, Caterpillar can help you turn it into a renewable fuel by providing gas-fueled engine-generators that can produce electric power from landfill gas. Power that you can sell the electrical grid. Cat® Generators burn the gas cleanly to meet air quality standards.

I saw this in a field trip I saw the flame and the generators they said it can power about 2k house per engine I think .
Sounds great. But would it work with waste gas from a wastewater treatment plant (capping)?🤔 or other like sources?
💩💨=⚡
(Does anyone from Caterpillar even read the comments? 🧐)
Wow! Landfill Ga To Energy!
Even better would be to use that to firm up wind.
Just one query .How much I put this way is it possible to measure the volume of methane gas that is being generated daily from our Earth for Cat generator(s) demands in terms to operate at full capacity of its designed output and not fairly in percentage value let say for 50% due to the presence of gas is dearth.
Great video - thanks:)
How can i get this?
Do they do this in Central Indiana? 🤔⚡
thanks i hope i win the lottery soon.
Nice and correct
How does exactly the CAT power generator mitigate the effect burning Methane has on the atmosphere? Methane has a 20x greater effect upon climate change by the Greenhouse Effect than that of Carbon Dioxide..

when methane burned it became carbon dioxide.
+DRBWildlife The methane, like all hydrocarbons in combustion, is turned into CO2 + H2O + energy.
I'd also like to add that when methane and similar light hydrocarbon compounds are burned, they produce much less C02 than current fuels.
DRBWildlife don't worry climate change is a hoax so quit crying
How much does this cost?

What is the cost of one of these generators?
richiexp2 3520 is 1.2 million
Yay

When methane is burned along with oxygen, it separates into CO2 and H20. This is much better for the atmosphere than raw methane leaving the landfill.
