The world’s most efficient, small-scale generator…

About the size of a washing machine and powered by sophisticated fuel cell technology, BlueGen® can be installed on-site in your home or business. It connects directly to the natural gas supply, converting gas into clean, low carbon electricity, 24 hours a day. It’s virtually silent and has low emissions – which means significantly reduced greenhouse gases and a small carbon footprint. BlueGen also has the highest electrical efficiency (60 per cent), producing more electricity and using less fuel. When the thermal energy from BlueGen is recovered, total efficiency increases a further 25 per cent to around 85 per cent.

The world’s most efficient, small-scale generator…

How does it compare with other generators? Typically, BlueGen produces over 13,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity on-site per year. That’s two or three times more than the average home needs, with any excess electricity exported to the grid. BlueGen’s optional heat recovery system also generates domestic hot water, producing up to 200 litres of ‘free’ hot water per day – ideal for commercial operations or kitchens and bathrooms. BlueGen’s high electrical efficiency means it’s cleaner, with carbon emissions substantially reduced compared to grid power alone. BlueGen even has lower carbon emissions than combined grid and solar Photovoltaic (PV) power.

Energy generation 24/7, whatever the weather. BlueGen generates electricity all year round, rain, hail or shine, providing a constant, stable source of clean electricity when compared to renewable energy. Combined with solar panels, BlueGen’s electricity output can be increased or decreased to suit specific needs. For example, its output can be increased during the evening when solar panels aren’t producing electricity and decreased during the day when they are.

Next generation technology, available now. The popularity of fuel cell technology is growing rapidly and BlueGen is at the forefront. Fuel cells represent a clean energy future, where energy efficiency is paramount and producing your own electricity is standard. BlueGen allows end users to achieve this, using technology developed through world leading research and practices.

Join the revolution. BlueGen units have already been installed in a variety of businesses and residential properties throughout Europe, including Germany, The Netherlands and United Kingdom. In Australia, government, councils and green technology leaders are following rapidly in their footsteps.

BLUEGEN

When electricity is generated centrally by traditional coal-fired power stations, around 60% to 70% of energy is lost as heat. With BlueGen, up to 85% of the original fuel energy is used in the home.
