Welcome to the PowerUP Blog! Here’s where you’ll find the latest on innovations e.g. for gas engine updates, condition based overhaul, new gas engine spare parts or container solutions, and insights into the energy sector. From deep dives into biogas and natural gas to information and updates on Jenbacher® and MWM® engines, here you can power up your knowledge. Whether you’re in the industry or just energy-curious, join us as we explore the future of power together.
Get the the latest innovations and upgrades regarding gas engines delivered to your inbox each month.
What is the cogeneration meaning? We explain the definition of Combined Heat and Power (CHP), how it saves energy costs, reduces emissions, and works on-site.
How is gas efficiently turned into energy? We explain the heat and power plant function in detail and show how you can utilize the full potential of your INNIO Jenbacher, MWM, or Caterpillar gas engines for maximum returns.
An expert analysis of the pros and cons of natural gas. We explore the advantages (cleaner burning, reliability) and disadvantages (methane leaks, fracking) for power generation.
A detailed breakdown of the main components of a biogas plant. We explore the function of the digester (fermenter), the substrate processing, gas treatment, and the CHP (cogeneration) unit.
A practical guide to the daily operation of a biogas plant. We explore the key management tasks, from feedstock feeding and process monitoring to managing the CHP gas engine for optimal energy production.
What is the difference between biogas and natural gas? This article provides a detailed comparison of their origin, composition (methane vs CO2), calorific value, and environmental impact (fossil fuel vs renewable).
Why is biogas not yet widely utilized? This article explores the main challenges (high costs, technical risks) and the huge potentials (grid stability, waste valorization) of biogas.
Is biogas truly eco-friendly? This article provides a detailed evaluation of its environmental impact, from the benefits (methane prevention) to the risks (methane slip, land use).
What is the chemical composition of natural gas? A detailed guide to methane, ethane, propane, NGLs, heating values (BTU), and impurities like hydrogen sulfide.
How long can we continue to use natural gas? An expert analysis of the future of gas in power generation, industry, and heating amidst the energy transition.
How does a CHP plant work? We explain the technology: From the prime mover and generator to heat recovery. Learn how to lower energy costs and emissions.
Is CHP worth it? We analyze 8 benefits (efficiency, costs) and 4 challenges (maintenance, noise) and how PowerUP solutions help you master them.
