RIGID Launches the Stirling Generator RS1000 — The Free-Piston Engine Powering Methane Abatement and Remote Reliability!

RIGID, a leader in advanced miniature compressors and clean energy systems, proudly announces the launch of its latest innovation - the Stirling Generator RS1000, a Free-Piston Stirling Engine designed for mission-critical and off-grid applications where reliability is non-negotiable.

Built for extreme environments, the RS1000 provides continuous, maintenance-free power using waste heat or untreated methane as a fuel source. With its sealed, frictionless design, the Stirling Generator delivers quiet, sustainable electricity generation with zero oil changes, no rotating parts, and no downtime.

“Our RS1000 technology transforms methane mitigation from a challenge into an opportunity,” said Ann Wee, COO of RIGID. “We’re enabling industries to generate clean power from waste heat, reduce emissions at the source, and move toward true net-zero operations.”

In the waste management sector, the RS1000 offers landfill owners a financial and environmental breakthrough, transforming closed landfills into productive energy assets while generating carbon credits and eliminating emissions.

Unmatched Reliability — Proven for Over 80,000 Hours

The RS1000’s Free-Piston Stirling Engine operates continuously for up to 80,000 hours (10 years) without maintenance, providing 28% electrical efficiency from the supplied heat flow. The compact, 49 kg system makes it ideal for remote, off-grid, or backup power installations.

Smart, Connected, and Global

Equipped with a web-based monitoring interface, users can track performance data, measure methane reduction, and receive remote technical support through any standard browser or API integration. Since 2019, RIGID has completed thousands of successful installations across the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Australia, Russia, India, and beyond.

Quiet. Clean. Sustainable.

The RIGID Stirling Generator RS1000 represents a new era of clean energy technology - where heat becomes electricity and waste methane becomes opportunity. Built on Free-Piston Stirling Engine technology, the RS1000 delivers continuous, maintenance-free power for remote, off-grid, and industrial sites.

Powering Methane Abatement

Methane is a challenge - and a fuel. The RS1000 transforms methane from oil & gas fields, landfills, and farms into valuable clean energy, reducing emissions while boosting profitability.

  • Works with untreated methane other generators can’t handle
  • Enables carbon credit generation
  • Turns closed landfills into productive assets
