Our product range has expanded to include the new Cat® DG40-80 gensets that offer optimal fuel consumption to reduce fuel costs by up to 35%, helping to lower operational expenses while delivering high performance—even during peak demand.
The DG40-80 gensets are built to deliver serious capability in a footprint that’s approximately 15% smaller than comparable systems. Whether you're tight on space or planning for a facility expansion, this compact design gives you more flexibility without sacrificing performance.
The Benefits of Choosing a Gas Generator for Your Business
Save on Energy Costs:Because of their high-efficiency design, Cat® natural gas generators provide opportunities for saving on energy costs, leading to a lower total cost of ownership when compared to other types of generators.
Improve Flexibility:Many types of businesses can utilize our gas generators effectively across different operational needs and with different fuel availabilities.
Meet Emissions Goals:Natural gas fuels inherently produce lower levels of nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and carbon dioxide compared to diesel fuels. This makes gas generators a more environmentally friendly option that contributes to cleaner operations.
Natural Gas vs. Diesel Generators
To determine the best fuel choice for your electrical power generation needs, review the quick comparison of natural gas to diesel below.
Natural Gas:
- Lower Emissions: Produces less NOx, sulfur dioxide, and CO2.
- Long-term Savings: The lower cost of natural gas generally leads to a reduced total cost of ownership.
- Fuel Versatility: Gensets can be configured to run on propane, hydrogen blends, and other low-emission fuels like landfill gases.
- CHP Savings: Excess thermal energy can be captured through combined heat and power technology for heating, increasing overall energy efficiency.
Diesel:
- Lower Initial Investment: Diesel generator sets typically have lower upfront costs.
- Powerful: Diesel power solutions quickly and reliably adjust to large and sudden increases in electrical demand without faltering, typically performing better than gas generators in these instances.
- Mobility: Wider range of diesel mobile products available for easy transport and quick setup.
DG40-80 Dual-Fuel Capability
Cat® DG40-80 small gas generators offer many advantages through their dual-fuel capability, using propane as a backup to natural gas. This feature ensures uninterrupted power during unforeseen power events, where natural gas lines might be compromised. By seamlessly switching to propane, businesses can maintain operations without costly downtime.
This dual-fuel functionality leads to enhanced resilience and reliability of standby power, reducing the risks associated with even the shortest power outages, so you can be sure all critical systems, like those at a hospital, are always running.
Ultimately, having the backup power of DG40-80 generators provides you with peace of mind, safeguarding operational and business continuity and preventing financial losses and reputational damage when challenging circumstances exist.
Unlock New Revenue Streams
The heightened need for electricity is leading to major increases in energy demand across the country and beyond. Large power facilities like centralized fossil fuel power plants aren’t always fast or flexible enough to keep up with demand. That’s why demand response programs are becoming more important, especially during times when electricity demands and costs skyrocket.
Many of our natural gas gensets, including the new DG70, are designed to help take control of a facility’s power strategy and financial health. Because demand response programs offered by utilities compensate large energy users for producing extra power, you can unlock the full potential of a generator to become a revenue-generating asset that exports power from your generator into the grid.
Peak Shaving
During periods of high electricity demand, utility companies often charge higher rates due to the increased strain on the power grid. When this happens, businesses equipped with natural gas generators can create their own electricity through a peak shaving power strategy that reduces their reliance on the more expensive grid electricity and effectively "shaves off" the most expensive portion of their energy bill. What this means for the facilities you support is direct cost savings that contribute to a lower overall operational expenditure.
Beyond these immediate cost reductions, natural gas generators enhance energy independence and resilience. It allows a company to have greater control over its power supply, mitigating the impact of volatile electricity prices and potential grid instability. This self-sufficiency is crucial for facilities like hospitals or laboratories where continuous operation is vital, as it ensures a reliable power source even when the main grid faces high demand or unexpected issues.
Natural Gas Solutions for Electrical Contractors
Offering Cat® gas generators from Cleveland Brothers to your customers, including the new DG40-80 gensets, presents a compelling opportunity to deliver high-value, reliable power solutions. These gensets provide significant advantages in terms of cost savings for end-users, thanks to their high efficiency and the generally lower average fuel costs associated with natural gas compared to diesel.
