Interest in combined heat & power, CHP or cogeneration as it's often called, is continuing to grow in the United States. Cogeneration systems have been around for many decades, especially in Europe, but are gaining more traction lately with companies examining their options for long-term cost-saving measures and to reduce their carbon footprint.
The oldest brewery in the USA operates a 2G CENERGY® 400ekW/h CHP cogeneration power plant, serving about 20% of Yuengling®'s total electricity needs at the brewery, saving the owner significant dollars.
CHP cogeneration - particularly smaller systems located at or in buildings - have reached a very high level of maturity. Many hotel owners are in the process of modernizing their boiler rooms, replacing older inefficient energy systems with a new wave of second generation combined heat & power equipment.
2G CENERGY Power Systems Technologies Inc., a 2G Energy AG Group Company, announced today that it received a large order with a total amount of nearly 8 Million USD to supply a modular 9.4 MW biogas energy conversion technology system.
2G CENERGY received an order for a CHP cogeneration power plant to be installed at FORMET Industries, a subsidiary of MAGNA International with 316 manufacturing operations worldwide. Simultaneously, 2G CENERGY also signed a Product Support and Service Partner Contract with Gas Drive Global LP ("Gas Drive") in Canada.
Increased demand and the wish to reinforce customer focus moved the company away from a distributor representation towards a direct sales and product support network model. The initial distribution model was an impetus for change. Following 2G's successful sales & product support structure in North America, the 2G Group today unveils a new expansion in Canada.
2G CENERGY Power Systems Technologies Inc., a 2G Energy AG Group Company announced today that 2G is establishing a U.S. production facility in St. Augustine, Florida, where it will produce its advanced CHP (combined heat & power) clean energy power generation systems for all North & South American markets.
Cogeneration is the environmentally-friendly, economically-sensible way to produce power, simultaneously saving significant amounts of money and also dramatically reducing total greenhouse gas emissions. 2G's concept of smaller modular combined heat and power plants for decentralized energy production, especially biogas and natural gas fueled, is leading the way in North America.
2G - CENERGY received a multimillion dollar order for a CHP cogeneration plant to be installed at Simonds Intl. in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, supplying the oldest cutting tool manufacturer in North America with electricity and thermal energy.
2G - CENERGY received an order for a biogas CHP cogeneration plant to be installed in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, supplying the University Campus with electricity and thermal energy.
