TURN WASTE INTO POWER
Stirling Generator Clean Energy: The smarter, greener way to generate electricity. Clean, reliable power anywhere, anytime, from any fuel.
Convert available heat into reliable electricity — with a compact, low-noise, low-maintenance system designed for applications where conventional power generation is inefficient, impractical or difficult to maintain.
The RS1000 is an external combustion Stirling generator that avoids the explosive shockwork of traditional internal combustion engines. As a result, it achieves high efficiency, low noise, low emissions, and low operating costs.
Unlike conventional generators, the Stirling Generator can run on a wide range of fuels – from natural gas, biogas, propane, hydrogen, and coal gas to diesel, LPG, and even solid fuels like wood. It can also harness solar thermal energy. As long as the hot chamber reaches 180°C, the engine begins operating, delivering about 25% electricity and 70% usable heat.
Whether you need to supplement unreliable grids or power standalone facilities, the RS1000 ensures that your operations remain reliable, efficient, and sustainable.
