Capstone Green Energy receives new orders

Capstone Green Energy announced that E-quad Power Systems GmbH, Capstone’s long-time distributor for Belgium, Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands, has secured two new orders. The first is an order for a C200S microturbine-based combined heat and power system for a leading textile finishing company. The second order is for four 65kW high-pressure natural gas , dual mode , high humidity offshore systems for an offshore gas production company with assets in the North Sea that is a loyal Capstone customer. The C200S microturbine-based CHP system is for leading textile finishing company Gerhard van Clewe GmbH & Co.KG, based in Hamminkeln, Germany. The system is expected to be commissioned in May 2023 and will be fueled by high-pressure natural gas. The C200S will provide up to 200kW of electricity to the plant, while the exhaust produced by the microturbine will be captured for use in the material drying process as well as the production of warm water for the facility. The company first considered microturbine technology due to rising electricity costs compared to the low cost of natural gas. As a company with a sustainability mission, they also valued the high efficiency and emissions reduction that a CHP system delivers. "Between the cost savings and environmental benefits, we are especially excited to be a development partner in this first-of-its-kind application," said Ansgar van Clewe, Principle at Gerhard van Clewe. "Given the technology’s ready availability and Capstone’s good reputation in the space, we felt comfortable working with their distributor E-quad Power Systems."
