Most of
us would probably think of wind turbines, solar panels, biodiesel
engines and fuel cells when asked about key technologies to generate
alternative energy. However, many of us forget or are not aware
that reciprocating generator sets have been and will continue to be
a mainstay in the sustainable energy space. Whenever human, animal,
agricultural and municipal waste decompose and release harmful
methane gases, reciprocating generator sets are an excellent
alternative for destroying methane while generating green energy and
green profits. Attend and learn also about project life-cycle,
utility RPS (renewable standards), REC's and Carbon Credits as
applied to reciprocating generator set projects. |
