Synthesis gas, also known as Syngas, is the main product obtained in gasification processes, mainly high-temperature pyrolysis carried out on any type of biomass, residue or waste. The main characteristic of synthesis gases is their high content of hydrogen and carbon monoxide and their lower methane content. The revaluation of this waste, which is transformed into a source […]
Global waste generation is estimated at between 4,500 and 6,000 million tons per year, of which approximately 85% corresponds to non-hazardous municipal and industrial waste. The energy use of this waste has become one of the fundamental pillars for its revaluation, contributing to the reduction of environmental pollution and minimizing the risk that this waste […]
Natural Gas has been recognized by the EU Taxonomy as one of the main transition fuels on the path towards achieving a climate neutral economy in the EU by 2050. The use of Natural Gas as a fuel in power generation balances the volatility of renewable energy. By providing high flexibility in its operation Guascor Energy Natural Gas […]
If you are looking for an engine to reliably deliver the power you need, wherever you need it and with all type of gases, Guascor Energy has the solution for you. Our 8:1 compression ratio SL engines are specifically designed and optimized to run-on poor-quality fuel gases with methane numbers as low as 35, at […]
Fuel blending allows the engine to run on two different fuels or a mixture of them. Guascor Energy’s fuel blending system was initially developed to work with Biogas as the primary fuel and Natural Gas as the secondary. These are the main characteristics – The blending is done in the engine, not outside, saving problems and space to the end […]
[This article is part of the series “Fuel flexibility”] Did you know that some of our natural gas powered engines can run on propane? In addition to the propane-specific SM family, our SL and HM natural gas engines are ready to work with propane right out of the box. At critical times when the availability […]
Synergies and major challenges of the industry were protagonists at the World Maritime Week, a benchmark meeting that took place last week in Bilbao, Spain. Our colleague Rosa Usarraga, Product Line Manager, participated at this international maritime sector event. Her conference, framed in SINAVAL, dealt with decarbonisation strategies. She explained Guascor Energy’s experience in projects […]
Guascor Energy has been supporting for decades marine energy transformation through reliable auxiliary power generation and electrical propulsion at constant speed. Our gas engines admit to work with natural gases with methane numbers as low as 70. The use of alternative fuels to conventional fossils is becoming the main axis of the decarbonization of the […]
We know that maintenance is one of the most important points when choosing an engine. For this reason, our R&D team has managed to improve the competitiveness of the new S and H series natural gas engines thanks to an improvement in the maintenance guidelines for these engine series. The improvement consists of a 15% […]
The G-86EM, part of the electronically carbureted EM Series gas engines, designed for more efficient power generation, released in 2017, has proven along these years to be even more efficient than expected. Field and factory performance measurements along with the experience of over 500,000 accumulated running hours have shown a 0.3 % better efficiency, leading […]
