South Africa-based combustion company The Combustion Group (TCG) has been appointed by global energy solutions company Caterpillar’s gas turbine businesses Turbomach and Solar Turbines Incorporated as its South African representative that will market its products in its power generation business.

Following this appointment, which took place in August this year, both Turbomach and TCG have begun working on developing a comprehensive market strategy to increase the solar turbines power generation product line into the South African region.

Owing to it being a provider of carbon- energy solutions in South Africa and a specialist in industrial fuels, TCG is currently looking into a number of on-site power generation projects, in particular, those requiring combined heat and power. These kinds of projects require power and steam, hot water or hot gases.

Already, Turbomach’s solar gas turbine combined heat and power system has the ability to achieve an overall energy efficiency of over 80%, which can prove beneficial to the projects that TCG is involved in.

Moreover, TCG is most active in the industrial sector and already has over 2 000 industrial clients in South Africa. Additionally, TCG has suitable sites with access to appropriate fuel and experience in the engineering and installation of safe fuel infrastructure and controls, which is an advantage to the partnership.
