A gas engine can be defined as an internal combustible engine that utilizes producer gas, blast furnace gas, natural gas and others as fuel. It is a machine that converts the chemical energy of gas fuel into mechanical energy. Gas engines are similar to diesel engines, and they are specifically designed for burning gas fuels.

There is not much energy left in the gas engine exhaust that needs to be recovered, due to high electrical efficiency. Hence, gas engines are better for distributed generation applications. They generate fewer carbon emissions compared to diesel engines which makes them suitable for urban applications.

Design engineers usually find it difficult to select the best type of gas engine as their capacity and number impact the operations of the plant and its profitability.

In addition, companies are also focusing on utilizing gas engines in stationary and mobile applications.

Stationary gas engines in combination with the generator are used for the production of power. It generally includes four major components. The engine utilizes various gases as fuel. The combustion of gas in the cylinder of the engine, the force shifts the crankshaft inside the engine. The crankshaft becomes an alternator, and hence electricity is generated.

The combustion results in the release of heat from cylinders. It should be either recovered or utilized as the combined configuration of heat and power or should be dissipated through dump radiators positioned near the engine. Moreover, the advanced control systems facilitate generators to give a robust performance.

Knock resistance is one of the major properties of the gas engine. It is rated as per the methane number. 100 is the methane number of high knock resistance pure methane.

While butane is rated as number 10 and hydrogen is rated as 0, and hence has low knocking resistance.

The major companies operating in the industry are; General Electric Company, Rolls-Royce Holdings plc, Wartsila Corporation, MAN Diesel Turbo SE, Deutz AG, Cummins Inc., and Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd.

Therefore, the rising concerns to reduce carbon emissions fuel the demand for gas engines.
