General Electric Company (GE) recently signed an agreement with Green Waste Energy, a privately-held U.S.-based developer of Advanced Recycling and Energy Conversion plants, to supply Jenbacher J620 gas engines to generate renewable electricity. The gas engines will be utilized by one of its subsidiaries Green Waste Energy Development (GWED) for its waste–to-energy projects. GWED remains committed to use GE’s Jenbacher gas engines in the U.S., the U.K., Africa and Asia. The companies can renew the agreement after Dec 2013 on mutual approval.
GE's Jenbacher gas engines are an integral part of GE’s ecomagination portfolio, which aims to provide products viable for the environment, have innovative power solutions and help in maximizing the resources with greater efficiency. The Jenbacher gas engines are cost-effective with reliable performance, greater efficiency and have impressive fuel flexible power solutions that promote regional energy security.
