Solution

Cost-efficient gas engine cogeneration systems for reduced CO2 emissions and improved BCP​

Discover how MHI's gas engine cogeneration system ensures stable power, energy efficiency, and cost savings.

For Those Facing These Challenges:

  • Struggling with rising energy costs— Electricity and fuel expenses are impacting your bottom line.​
  • Production line shutdowns during power outages causing major losses— Raw material waste and delivery delays result in significant financial impact​.
  • Inefficient separate systems for power and heat increasing costs— Wasted energy and higher fuel consumption due to non-integrated setups.​
  • Pressure to reduce CO₂ emissions— Meeting sustainability goals and regulatory requirements is becoming critical.​

Our Solution — GSR Series Gas Engine Cogeneration​

  • What it is:
    A continuous‑use gas engine cogeneration system that produces electricity and recoverable heat from one fuel source, designed to operate independently when commercial power is unstable or unavailable.
  • Key Benefits (at a glance):​

    Boosts BCP by providing a stable power supply to production lines in the event of disruption to commercial power​.

    Improves overall efficiency through effective utilization of waste heat from gas engine combined with energy management system (EMS).

    Reduces CO₂ emissions thanks to eco-friendly gas engine​.

How It Lowers Your Costs​

On‑Site Generate Power On‑Site
Reduce purchases from the grid by producing electricity with high engine efficiency.​
Re-Cycle Recover Waste Heat
Use engine exhaust and jacket heat to produce process hot water/steam, displacing boiler fuel. Total efficiency >80% reduces combined electricity + thermal spend.​
stability Stabilize Operations
In outages, the system runs independently to avoid raw material loss and delivery delays.​
