In partnership with ExxonMobil, Lindsayca and Enerflex, CH4 Systems announced Wednesday that it has received the prestigious Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) “Deal of the Year Award” for its pioneering gas-to-energy project in Guyana.
By converting natural gas into affordable, reliable electricity, the project will generate 300 megawatts of clean electricity, reduce the country’s dependence on imported fuels, expand access to power in underserved communities, and eliminate more than 1 million tons of CO₂ emissions annually, all while cutting electricity costs for local residents and businesses by up to 50%.
A first-of-its-kind in Guyana, the project integrates modular gas processing technologies for faster deployment, combined-cycle generation for high efficiency and reduced emissions, and infrastructure tailored to Guyana’s tropical environment. EXIM requires awardees to demonstrate and maintain the highest levels of quality, health, safety, and environment (QHSE) and corporate social responsibility (CSR), all of which this project met or exceeded through top quality, clean, socially and environmentally responsible operations.
Puerto Rico-based CH4 specializes in the development of advanced green power generation projects in emerging markets, and this recognition highlights CH4’s experience and expertise in developing large scale, innovative, sustainable energy solutions with a socio-economic impact. With deep experience in global energy infrastructure, CH4 brought to this project engineering, project finance, and operational expertise. The company led all significant aspects of the project, including design, procurement, construction oversight and stakeholder engagement.
“Our work in Guyana exemplifies our mission to deliver sustainable and scalable energy solutions that uplift economies and communities,” said CH4 CEO Juan Bellosta. “We are honored by this recognition and grateful to our partners and the Government of Guyana for their shared vision and collaboration.”
