A framework agreement has been inked between officials at GE and Greenwich, Conn.,-based Green Waste Energy (GWE).
Under the deal, GE will provide an undecided number of ecomagination qualified Jenbacher gas engines to power several Advanced Recycling and Energy Conversion (AREC) plants that GWE's development arm, Green Waste Energy Development (GWED), intends to build globally.
The deal will see GE supplying Jenbacher J620 gas engines to GWED. The engines will use the syngas generated at GWED's waste-gasification planst to produce renewable energy. Each installed gas engine will produce around 2MWof reliable on-site energy.
GE has also agreed to offer technical support for GWED's installed engine fleet.
Scott Nolen, product line leader of gas engines for power generation—GE Power & Water, said : "This important agreement underscores our commitment to providing alternative energy solutions to help meet global energy goals for renewable power generation. Our gas engines are designed to meet our customers' needs for both high efficiency and reliability while maximizing fuel flexibility. The Jenbacher J620 gas engine is well suited for GWED's process requirements."
GWE, CEO, James Burchetta, added : "A medium-size AREC plant is able to convert 1,000 tons of municipal solid waste into approximately 600MWh of cleaner electricity a day, which is enough to power approximately 24,000 U.S. homes. GE is a leading company in engine design and development for the renewable energy industry. We value GE's knowledge, assistance and experience and know that their expertise will help ensure our success. We look forward to developing many projects using GE's gas engines."
