Capstone project completed: 6.6 megawatt facility in North Carolina

Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, a Los Angeles-based renewables company focused on "ultra-low emission microturbine energy solutions" announced completing the installation of its 6.6-megawatt combined heat and power (CHP) microturbine system at a landmark renewable energy facility in North Carolina, per a January 7 press release.

This waste-to-energy project "marks a meaningful step forward in the customer’s operational strategy" by monetizing swine waste through a proprietary pyrolysis process to produce renewable biogas, according to the company.

Capstone’s microturbines will reportedly convert this on-site biogas "into 100% renewable electricity for grid export," while simultaneously "delivering high-value thermal energy to support the facility's internal operations." This integrated approach is aimed at enhancing project economics, improving energy efficiency, and creating a scalable model for recurring renewable power generation and long-term revenue growth.
