BGMG (Bio Gas Micro Grid in a box) will develop a hybrid renewable energy hub for deployment in off grid communities. It combines solar, wind and biogas energy resources in one drop-in containerised unit with electrical energy stored and deployed from batteries and waste heat recovered for local utilisation. The project expands the work of the partners in the recent highly successful Energy Catalyst WEGEN project that resulted in development and subsequent commercial sales of a novel 6kW plug-and-play biogas generator technology. The partners include WEGEN collaborators CAGE Technologies Ltd (CTL)/OakTec (power system technology developer), Sistema Bio (biogas system OEM and system trial and demonstration) and Sutton Power Engineering ( generator OEM and supplier of solar hardware). The partners will develop an intelligent energy management platform to integrate, manage and distribute the bio/solar/wind energy inputs based on a development of the existing CTL/OakTec intelligent control platform. Additional outputs will be an application of the WEGEN biogas engine technology to a new modular liquid cooled engine family that will allow a range of power outputs to suit application requirements delivering world leading fuel efficiency and low emissions. The liquid cooled engines will employ CHP technology to capture waste heat for distribution.CTL and Sutton have considerable experience of hybrid power systems having deployed LPG-solar-battery systems for site welfare with the HS2 rail project at Euston, London and more recently hydrogen-solar-battery hybrid to power the cruise ship terminal in Orkney.BGMG will support the development of carbon neutral microgrids in sub-saharan Africa and India and a trial system will be deployed to Kenya and be tested in a high profile location. Applications include stand-alone power for large food and agricultural businesses, villages, schools, hospitals and health-centres and public buildings. Bio-waste from the immediate location including food can be used in the feedstock.As global energy prices rise the business case for BGMG becomes stronger. Whilst the system will be more costly than a simpler generator or solar array it can be funded to the customer on a 'machinery as a service' basis by Sistema's established easy payment business model and will enjoy minimal fuel and running costs over its lifetime giving it a much lower lifetime cost than conventional fossil based power systems. Immediate commercial opportunities include powering larger farms, food production businesses including rice mills where rice straw is used as part of the AD feedstock, agricultural processing and charging EV's.

BGMG（盒子中的Bio Gas Micro Grid）将开发一个混合可再生能源中心，用于在网格社区中部署。它将太阳能，风能和沼气能源结合在一个倒入集装箱的单元中，并从电池中存储和部署电能，并恢复了用于当地利用的废热。该项目扩大了合作伙伴的工作，在最近非常成功的能源催化剂WEGEN项目中，该项目导致了新颖的6kW插件沼气发电机技术的开发和随后的商业销售。合作伙伴包括Wegen合作者Cage Technologies Ltd（CTL）/OAKTEC（Power System Technology Developer），Sistema Bio（Miogas System OEM和System System Exation and Suppidution）和Sutton Power Engineering（生成器OEM和Solar Hardware的供应商）。合作伙伴将基于现有CTL/OAKTEC智能控制平台的开发，开发一个智能能源管理平台，以整合，管理和分发生物/太阳能/风能输入。其他输出将是Wegen Miogas Engine技术的应用到新的模块化液体冷却发动机家族中，该机构将允许一系列功率输出适合应用程序需求，从而提供世界领先的燃油效率和低排放。液体冷却发动机将采用CHP技术来捕获废热进行分配。并且试验系统将部署到肯尼亚，并在备受瞩目的位置进行测试。申请包括大型食品和农业企业，村庄，学校，医院以及卫生中心以及公共建筑的独立权力。来自原料的直接位置的生物废物可以在原料中使用。全球能源价格上涨了bgmg的业务案例变得更强大。尽管该系统将比Sistema既定的简单付款业务模型以“机械为服务”的基础向客户提供更简单的发电机或太阳能电池板的成本更高，但它可以通过“机械作为服务”，并且将在其一生中享受最小的燃料和运行成本，从而使其一生比常规化石基于常规化石的电力系统低得多。即时的商业机会包括为较大的农场提供动力，包括稻草的食品生产业务，其中稻草被用作AD原料的一部分，农业加工和充电EV。
