Power-as-a-service solutions provider ElectriGen is collaborating with energy technology company Hyliion Holdings to reduce methane emissions in the oil and gas sector.
Hyliion has secured a $6m grant from the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Methane Emissions Reduction Program as part of an $8.4m project combining federal and non-federal funding.

Under the initiative, Hyliion, in partnership with ElectriGen, will deploy up to 2MW of its KARNO generators.
The funding granted to Hyliion and ElectriGen depends on the completion of final negotiations and the signing of a definitive agreement with the US DOE.
The generators are designed to be fuel-agnostic and can operate on more than 20 different fuels including untreated field gas, potentially offering lower maintenance costs.
The KARNO generator’s linear generator architecture is said to allow the economical and efficient production of electricity.

By GlobalDataIt has been tested using raw natural gas from the Permian Basin and has shown the ability to operate on wellhead gas for the production of sustainable, near zero emissions electricity.
The KARNO system curbs methane emissions and creates an additional revenue stream by harnessing excess gas that would typically be flared.
ElectriGen co-founder and COO Chris Combs said: “As part of our portfolio that represents up to several megawatts of power per deployment, this innovation is a step change in how ElectriGen can deliver near zero emissions power having the capability to use natural gas that would otherwise be unusable without fuel conditioning costs. With our partnership with Hyliion, we will custom engineer the ability to increase the power capacity per deployment.
“The award provides the industry a pathway to continue to focus on innovative technologies that pushes the envelope to achieve a best-in-class emissions profile while providing safety, cost savings, community focus and operational reliability.”
The funding is part of a broader $850m Methane Emissions Reduction Program, which focuses on supporting projects that advance the monitoring, measurement and mitigation of methane emissions within the oil and gas sector.
