J612 Beretta, industry; Gardone, Italy

Fuel Engine type Electrical output Thermal output Commissioning

Natural gas 1 x J612 1,457 kW 5,241 MBTU/hr 12/1998
The generated electricity covers the entire electricity requirement of the Beretta factory, while the heat is used for
the production process. By using our co­generation system, Beretta was able to reduce the energy supply costs for the
factory by 30 %.

J620 Wijnen Paprika; Egchel, The Netherlands

Fuel Engine type Electrical output Thermal output Commissioning
Natural gas 3 x J620 9,123 kW 36,791 MBTU/hr 06/2006 (a), 03/2007 (b)
a) 1st, 2nd engine b) 3rd engine
The Jenbacher cogeneration systems provide power, heat and CO2 to increase the Wijnen greenhouse paprika production.
The CO2 produced from the exhaust gas of the engines is cleaned and used for fertilization in the greenhouse.

J624 2-stage turbocharged Serres Vinet greenhouse, Forclum Machecoul, France

Fuel Engine type Electrical output Thermal output Commissioning
Natural gas 2 x J624 8,800 kW 27,403 MBTU/hr 01/2011
2-stage turbocharged
At this greenhouse facility, two Jenbacher J624 2-stage turbocharged gas engines enable French grower Serres Vinet to generate
all of the hot water and electricity required for its extensive tomato and lettuce greenhouse operations. These are the first 2-stage
turbocharged gas engines in France and give Serres Vinet the flexibility to switch among electrical energy, thermal energy and fuel
sources as economics dictate.

J620 Barakatullah Electro Dynamics Ltd. (BEDL), Fenchuganj, Bangladesh

Fuel Engine type Electrical output Thermal output Commissioning
Natural gas 19 x J620 51 MW - 10/2009

The plant in the town of Fenchuganj is the first of several emergency “rental” power plants that the Bangladesh government
installed to help end widespread chronic energy shortages occurring throughout the Southeast Asian nation. The plant features
19 of GE’s low-emission, J620 Jenbacher gas engine generator sets that run on natural gas. The electricity produced by the power
plant, which was commissioned in October 2009, is sold to the national grid.
