Bio-fuel generators reduce harmful gas
emissions
Turbine Efficiency (TEL) offer a drastic reduction in nitrous oxide emissions from the older small industrial gas turbines, and have developed bio-gas powered generators for remote locations
Turbine Efficiency can also modify these turbines to operate on bio-fuels, to significantly reduce harmful emissions Turbine Efficiency are developing small gas turbine generators in the 500KVA range which can use bio-gas and gas produced from waste products as fuel
