White Paper: Sustainable Application Of Reciprocating Gas Engines Operating On Alternative Fuels

The concern for the anthropogenic release of methane (CH4) into the environment and methane's potential for global warming — 21 times higher than that of carbon dioxide — continues to draw international attention. As such, those engaged in industries such as coal mining, landfills, agriculture and wastewater treatment are looking for ways to safely and economically mitigate the release of methane-based gases.

There is considerable opportunity for growth in the Asia-Pacific region for sustainable electric power applications using alternative fuels. As power demands in countries like China and India increase, industrial activity also increases and resulting landfill material grows, creating more sustainable, readily available alternative fuels. This paper discusses those opportunities, incorporating coal mine methane, landfill gas and biogas.
