Caterpillar Expands Gas-Fueled Power Solutions with Hydrogen Capabilities
Key Ideas
- Caterpillar has introduced new gas generator sets that can use gas/hydrogen blends, supporting the transition to renewable fuels and reducing carbon emissions.
- The company now offers gen sets that can blend natural gas with up to 25% hydrogen, with additional units capable of operating on 100% hydrogen for applications up to 1.5 MW.
- Caterpillar is involved in a hydrogen-powered demonstration project in collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to evaluate the viability and emissions profile of hydrogen-fueled systems.
- Fast-response natural-gas generator sets are becoming popular as an alternative to diesel gen sets, providing continuous power for longer periods in countries with unreliable power supplies.
Caterpillar has expanded its gas-fueled power solutions by introducing new gas generator sets that can use gas/hydrogen blends to reduce carbon emissions and support the transition to renewable fuels. These new additions include units capable of blending natural gas with up to 25% hydrogen, as well as gen sets that can operate on 100% hydrogen for applications up to 1.5 MW. Caterpillar is actively involved in a hydrogen-powered demonstration project in collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to assess the viability and emissions profile of hydrogen-fueled systems. The company's fast-response natural-gas generator sets are gaining popularity as an alternative to diesel gen sets, offering continuous power for longer periods in regions with unreliable power supplies. This shift towards gas/hydrogen blends and hydrogen-powered solutions marks a positive step in the energy transition towards more sustainable and efficient power generation.
