Capstone Green Energy Secures New Mexico Order for Industrial Customer

Capstone Green Energy has secured a new order for a natural gas-fueled Capstone C600 Signature Series microturbine in Mexico for a packaging manufacturing facility. The customer aims to create a triple-win strategy by lowering operational costs, reducing its carbon footprint, and increasing energy reliability. The Capstone C600S system will operate in a grid-connected combined cooling, heat, and power (CCHP) configuration, producing clean, reliable electricity while utilizing waste heat for the facility's drying ovens.

Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. (CGEH) has secured a new order for a natural gas-fueled Capstone C600 Signature Series microturbine to be installed at a packaging manufacturing facility in Mexico [1]. The order was secured by DTC Machinery, Capstone's exclusive distributor for Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama.

The customer, a well-established company with nearly four decades of experience in the production and marketing of polyethylene, polypropylene, and laminated films and packaging, aims to create a triple-win strategy. By investing in Capstone's microturbine technology, the company seeks to lower operational costs, reduce its carbon footprint, and increase energy reliability [1].

The Capstone C600S system will operate in a grid-connected combined cooling, heat, and power (CCHP) configuration, producing clean, reliable electricity while simultaneously utilizing waste heat for the facility's drying ovens [1]. This not only significantly increases overall energy efficiency 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 [1]. "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.

Scheduled for commissioning this summer, the Capstone C600S system is expected to contribute to the circular economy by recycling waste heat into a dry heating application and chilled water, a concept known as tri-generation [1].
