Not exactly “Where’s Waldo” in difficulty. But outside Cummins these two main words are not often put together.
Then we need to get specific: About the range of alternative fuels our products can use, the range of gas-fueled products that we offer, and the range of applications for which they’re well suited. These applications include cogeneration, peaking power and remote prime power or island mode applications.
Here’s a list of some of our models, along with their efficiency ratings and the nitrogen oxides emissions for each.

Here are the alternative fuels that can be used to run our gensets, along with their BTU ratings.
Here are some of our models, with great photos, applications and performance stats.
Customers and prospects in a wide range of industries should know what solutions we can offer them using gensets that do not run on diesel fuel.
It’s important to stress that Cummins Power Generation offers a fully integrated solution and a single point of contact. That means pre-integrated component modules that are designed and tested to work together. But it also means project support before, during and after the installation. Whatever the customer needs—civil engineering work, system design, sizing, installation and commissioning, project management, and factory-certified service and support—we can provide, thanks to our global expertise and our network of local distributors.
Now let’s look at a couple of examples of very successful cogen installations. This one, the De Breuck Greenhouses in Belgium, is the subject of an interesting, informative case study, available on the cuminspower.com web site.
Here is another example of a successful cogen installation, at the TVA.
