Building your pressure power plant
How do gas operators monetize projects?
Recovered electricity can be used on-site, sold behind the meter to a co-located customer, or structured for front-of-the-meter sales where the market allows. That turns routine pressure reduction into a revenue-producing asset.
Where in gas infrastructure is pressure recovery a fit?
Pressure recovery can be deployed across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations, including transmission systems, regulating stations, processing facilities, LNG assets, and industrial sites.
How can FreeSpin® support local equipment and microgrids?
FreeSpin® can power local loads such as controls, regulating equipment, compressor-station auxiliaries, and remote operations. It can also operate as part of a broader microgrid.
What does the commercial structure look like?
In many cases, the infrastructure owner hosts the asset and is compensated for access to the pressure resource, while the project owner develops and monetizes the recovered electricity through on-site use, behind-the-meter sales, power purchase agreements, or other offtake structures.
