Green Waste Energy to Deploy GE Gas Engines to Power Waste-to-Energy Plants

General Electric (GE) and Green Waste Energy (GWE) recently signed a frame agreement under which GE will supply its ecomagination-qualified Jenbacher gas engines to power Advanced Recycling and Energy Conversion (AREC) plants to be built by Green Waste Energy Development (GWED), GWE's development subsidiary. These plants will be built in various parts of the world, including the U.S., U.K., Africa and Asia.


These AREC sites will leverage C6 Technologies' proprietary non-burn, waste-advanced pyrolysis technology, which can transform various waste products into “syngas.” This can then be used in gas engines to generate cleaner electricity or produce greener transportation fuels.

Indeed, GE's Jenbacher J620 gas engines will use the syngas produced at GWED's waste-gasification facilities to generate renewable electricity. Each gas engine will generate roughly two Megawatts of reliable on-site power.

GE's Jenbacher gas engines have been deployed in various applications around the world, including using biogas created from chicken manure to generate power and heat at a large chicken farm north of China's capital city.

"This important agreement underscores our commitment to providing alternative energy solutions to help meet global energy goals for renewable power generation,” said Scott Nolen, product line leader of gas engines for power generation at GE Power & Water. “Our gas engines are designed to meet our customers’ needs for both high efficiency and reliability while maximizing fuel flexibility. The Jenbacher J620 gas engine is well suited for GWED’s process requirements.”

GE's frame agreement with GWE will remain in place until December of this year, at which point it can be renewed if both parties agree to do so.

Meanwhile, GWED has already signed an agreement in partnership with J.M. Clarke and Sons to construct a waste-to-energy power facility at Pebble Hall in the U.K., which will use upwards of six Jenbacher J620 gas engines, providing approximately eight Megawatts per hour to the electrical grid.
