Got pigs? GE has power. Jenbacher power
I’m Thomas Elsenbruch, Marketing Manager for biogas applications with GE’s Jenbacher gas engines. Curbing the greenhouse gas emissions that are contributing to climate change has been an important topic of discussion of late. Just take a look at today’s article in the New York Times.
As mentioned in the article, disposal and treatment of biological waste can be a big challenge. GE has a solution. For a wide range of organic substances from agriculture, foodstuff or feed industries, biogas – a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide generated from such waste – serves as a high-energy, renewable fuel that can be used as a substitute for fossil fuels.
Like the farm in Sterksel, GE’s Jenbacher biogas engines are being used around the world to generate power for many small businesses. In fact, Jenbacher biogas engines are currently providing the power for a chicken farm in Beijing, China, a dairy farm in Punjab, India, and a tomato greenhouse in Ontario, Canada. Perhaps a pig farm could be next!
Check out this Webisode, where we visit Jenbach, Austria, home of the powerful GE Jenbacher engines.

The Jenbacher biogas engine provides all the environmental benefits mentioned in the above referred New York Times article "As More Eat Meat, a Bid to Cut Emissions": power generation, disposal of biowaste, greenhouse effect reduction, efficient on-site heat, odorless and good fertilizing resulting waste.
RE: Biogas…We do not have Pigs…but we do have our own sewage disposal plant serving 900 humans plus four dining rooms with associated full-spectrum kitchen. And we want to know if a GE/Jenbacher system is appropriate for us. We also have on-site a Diesel generator for emergency power when the grid fails.

Thank you. Carl Burns
RE: GE announcement of new battery factory for the Albany NY area to serve hybrid locomotive business and other businesses. Question: Is the Jenbacher engine technology applicable to locomotives or other mobile applications (eg, marine, trucks, etc).
