Cleanergy is one of the world’s leading engine manufacturers in the Stirling technology area. It offers two variants of mini power plants; one for Biogas and one for Solar Power. The units are of open source configuration and have the capacity of 9kW electric power, the Combined Heat and Power unit for Biogas also generates 26 kW thermal power. Cleanergy’s Stirling units have a very long lifespan, high efficiency and are environmentally friendly. 


In 2009 Cleanergy moved the production of Stirling engines to the newly refurbished plant in Sweden from Germany in order to scale-up the production. Cleanergy now has the ability to offer its products to a larger amount of customers, all around the world.
