Sustainable progress requires energy, but even today, 1.1 billion people in the world lack access to the benefits of reliable electricity. As a global energy consumer and major manufacturer of energy conversion and power-generation products, Caterpillar is uniquely positioned to leverage innovation to meet the world’s growing energy needs.
Our products bring traditional, renewable and alternative energy options to urban, rural and remote communities. We have hundreds of distributed power generation systems operating all over the world. These systems improve energy access while emitting fewer greenhouse gases (GHG) than traditional power grid systems. We provide combined heat and power systems and combined-cycle power systems that can double the efficiency of power generation when compared with conventional power grids.
