EECL's engine design has been developed to run efficiently on a variety of non-standard "off-spec" and other fuels produced from gasification, pyrolysis and other Advance Conversion Technologies (ACT)  not normally used in the power generation industry, which allows for achieving a truly carbon neutral project solution. The units are designed to operate continuously for up to 8000 hours per annum in a base load condition. 

The EECL engine’s pedigree can be traced back to the Doxford opposed piston marine engine, which had its heyday in the period between the two World Wars and into the mid-1960s. The engine is based on a truly proven and robust design configuration, with a record of millions of operational hours accrued, literally, around the world.  

The standard EECL generator modules are based on a low speed engine configuration with nominal output ratings of 20kWe/cylinder and 200kWe/cylinder (nominal "Eco" and EcoPlus" models repspectively) when running on a 5MJ/Nm3 CV gas or equivalent liquid fuel, and has been specifically designed to fit standard ISO containers for ease of transportation and “plug and play” operation. The modular engine design and drive train configuration allows for delivery of bespoke solutions from 20kWe up to 1MWe, and multiples thereof.
