gas engines
Fuel-burning power plants
Gas engines are internal combustion engines that burn fuel in a gaseous state rather than liquid form.
The term most commonly refers to engines running on natural gas, propane, or biogas, though in casual American usage "gas engine" often just means a gasoline-powered engine—gasoline being called "gas" colloquially despite being a liquid.
Industrial gas engines power generators, compressors, and pumps where piped natural gas is readily available.
The facility switched to gas engines to reduce emissions.
