Cleanergy’s GasBox, which is installed in a modular container, is an autonomous and flexible stirling engine unit, the company claims.
It is incorporated with a real-time power management system with remote access; a fuel pipe; and a heat and electricity connection to a house/factory/warehouse with optional grid functionality.
The waste-to-energy system has the capacity to generate electricity and heat from methane gas being emitted at over 1,900 landfill sites across Europe which are more than 10 years old.
Cleanergy CEO Anders Koritz said that there are a myriad of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems available for generating electricity and heat from newer landfill sites, but once the quality of the methane decreases, the only option has been flaring.
"We have worked hard to solve this problem and our GasBox extends power production at landfill sites by around 20 years. We are driving the future of biogas power and turning waste into wealth," added Koritz.
Cleanergy has already installed GasBox at closed landfill sites in Norfolk, Shropshire, Yorkshire in the UK, and also in Poland, as part of the ACUMEN project.
Additionally, GasBox is deployed at several locations in Sweden and at the Yggeset waste disposal park in Norway.
