LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. (the "Company' or 'Capstone') (OTCID: CGEH) and Capstone Green Energy, LLC, announced a new order for a natural gas-fueled Capstone C600 Signature Series microturbine to be installed at a packaging manufacturing facility in Mexico. The order was secured by DTC Machinery, Capstone's exclusive distributor for Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panamá.
'The clean exhaust produced by the Capstone microturbine is ideally suited for the drying process, thanks to its consistent temperature, high mass flow and air quality,' said Alejandro Munoz Barba, Principal for DTC Machinery.
The customer is a well-established company with nearly four decades of experience in the production and marketing of polyethylene, polypropylene, and laminated films and packaging that serve the agricultural, industrial, and commercial sectors. The decision to invest in Capstone's microturbine technology was driven by the desire to create a triple win strategy where self-generation will lower operational costs plus lower their carbon footprint and thus, complying with environmental regulations; the win in this self-generation strategy is to increase their overall energy reliability.
'Our vision is to be the first choice when energy matters, and this project aligns so well with that vision. This customer had many other options to accomplish this critical self-generation CHP strategy, and they chose Capstone,' said Vince Canino, President and CEO of Capstone Green Energy. 'By delivering resilient, low-emission power alongside meaningful sustainability benefits, we're helping this manufacturer lower costs, boost reliability, and meet environmental requirements, all in a single, integrated solution which contributes to the circular economy by recycling our microturbine's waste heat into a dry heating application plus chilled water. This is what we call tri-generation – the ultimate utilization of a fuel source.'
Scheduled for commissioning this summer, the Capstone C600S system will operate in a grid-connected combined cooling, heat, and power (CCHP) configuration. It will produce clean, reliable electricity while simultaneously utilizing the microturbine waste heat for the facility's drying ovens. This not only significantly increases overall energy efficiency of the facility by displacing the energy used by the drying ovens, but also improves the company's sustainability metrics.
'The clean exhaust produced by the Capstone microturbine is ideally suited for the drying process, thanks to its consistent temperature, high mass flow and air quality,' said Alejandro Munoz Barba, Principal for DTC Machinery. 'The added benefit of on-site electricity generation further enhances the facility's operational efficiency profile all while driving world class energy savings.'
Capstone's low-emission, low-maintenance microturbine systems are trusted worldwide in industrial manufacturing applications. Their modular design, high reliability, and compact footprint make them an ideal choice for facilities seeking to optimize performance while reducing environmental impact.
