2G Energy

2G Energy is a global manufacturer of gas engine-based combined heat and power (CHP) solutions, supporting data centers with reliable, low-emission on-site generation. As grid connection timelines lengthen across the FLAP-D region, 2G enables operators and developers to secure power availability independently of grid queue constraints, while building a clear pathway toward full decarbonization.

Sustainability and fuel transition
2G’s engines are designed to run on natural gas today, with a proven, field-tested transition path to biomethane and hydrogen blends as availability grows. This “Bridge-to-Grid” approach lets data center operators deploy power now, without locking themselves into a single fuel source for the next 20 years. Combined heat and power configurations also allow waste heat recovery, supporting integration with district heating networks and improving overall energy efficiency versus grid-only or diesel-based alternatives.

Primary power
For sites facing multi-year grid connection delays, 2G’s modular gas engine plants provide primary, behind-the-meter power that can be deployed faster than a new grid connection, allowing construction and IT load-in to proceed on schedule. Capacity can scale incrementally as demand grows, reducing upfront capital risk compared to over-building for future load.

Backup power
2G also offers gas engine gensets as a cleaner alternative to diesel for backup power. Using stoichiometric combustion with three-way catalyst technology, 2G’s backup solutions considerably reduce NOx and particulate matter emissions compared to conventional diesel gensets, while matching diesel-grade reliability and response times — a critical advantage for sites operating under strict air quality permitting or urban low-emission zone requirements.

2G Energy combines German engineering, decades of CHP field experience, and a fuel-flexible technology roadmap to help data center operators in the Netherlands meet growing power demand without compromising on sustainability or reliability.
