Our advanced 2G® LAN-TEC® energy generation technology utilizes landfill gas (LFG) from the bacterial decomposition process of organic material contained in landfills to generate electricity and heat using a fuel that is both efficient, and providing many economic benefits. 2G® LAN-TEC® landfill gas cogeneration modules are specifically developed for LFG applications. A compact CHP design with integrated control-and switchgear, thermal energy distribution system and advanced enclosure options.

Traditionally LFG power plants in North America have been sized between 1 and 4MW because smaller engines could not provide the same high efficiencies, and cost-effective gas treatment systems for smaller gas volumes were not readily available. 2G®’s thermodynamically optimized MAN® gas engines with 2G-Drive® technology are ideal for LFG installations. Now customers can also effectively utilize CHP’s <500ekW for on-site power generation at remote landfill locations.

The technology behind 2G® gas engines and their controls makes them highly reliable, offering superior efficiency with low lifecycle costs. The added benefits of these 2G-Drive® MAN® gas engines over the conventional standard MAN®, or any other gas engine in a similar size range, include up to 25% higher electrical efficiency, up to 35% lower maintenance cost, and a longer life. We offer more value than our competition by focusing on advanced technology improvements “superior by design”, and “system efficiency”, rather than just packaging a standard gas engine.

LFG can be converted into an effective energy source. In addition to being environmentally sound, this type of energy generation provides landfill operators and waste management business operations with long-term economic benefits.

2G® is a trusted system provider for many landfill operators and  LFG power plant developers all over the world. LFG power stations are only as good and reliable as the overall design, and the quality of the equipment converting LFG into valuable electric & thermal energy. We realize that anybody can claim to use only highest quality components, promising reliable and efficient systems. The difference can be found in the details. Innovative technologies combined with unmatched experience result in incomparable CHP solutions.

Our systems are designed to perform. For us the true value of an LFG power plant lies in the efficiency it generates combined with outstanding technical performance. Minimal gas treatment is applied to make LFG usable for our 2G® LAN-TEC® systems that are specifically designed for corrosive gases. The electrical energy can be fed into the public electricity grid. Surplus thermal energy is generally utilized to heat buildings, landfill offices & facilities, as well as being used in commercial and industrial processes located near by.

By avoiding flaring off valuable gas resources, and preventing emissions of methane (a powerful greenhouse gas) through the utilization as a fuel source for energy generation, we help landfill operators, waste management businesses, electrical utility companies, communities, and states to generate additional revenues, to protect the environment and to build a sustainable future.

2G®’s CHP systems can be easily applied to any type of landfill. Also to small sites with limited LFG flow less than 60 cfm. Instead of flaring, energy can be generated. If thermal energy is not required, the equipment is designed to dispose excess heat, while efficiently generating electricity. Cost-effective gas treatment technologies, sized for small LFG operations are available.
