MAGNA is a massive industrial conglomerate that employs over 200,000 people. They strive to perform ethically and responsibly in all aspects of their business, with innovation being at the core of their operations. Delivering smart, best-in-class experiences, using clean, efficient, and sustainable energy solutions, and ensuring safe performance is crucial to MAGNA. As a leading global automotive supplier, MAGNA focuses on delivering superior value through innovative processes and world-class manufacturing. To achieve this, the company opted for a fully containerized CHP system instead of the conventional design-build or site-build process. 2G Energy Inc. received an order for a 2G avus 800 natural gas CHP module to be installed at FORMET Industries, a 100% MAGNA subsidiary. The CHP system, which is custom and purpose-built, will significantly reduce energy costs and eliminate technical risks during quick installation and start-up.
 

MAGNA Industries benefit from the integrated and fully containerized package by achieving a much higher overall electrical and thermal efficiency of close to 90%, reliability, durability, extended life, and fast on-site installation with lower maintenance costs. The natural gas fueled CHP system will provide clean electricity and thermal energy to FORMET Industries, a manufacturer of truck frame assemblies using hydro-forming technology in Ontario, Canada.

The 2G®-packaged system was selected by MAGNA for its outstanding quality and unique design features that include 2G® optimized, high efficiency gas engine technology, factory designed, packaged and tested CHP module, fully integrated heat recovery system, integrated fresh and waste oil storage system, a unique sound attenuated enclosure module, and ease of integration with the existing building systems.
