Capstone Green Energy’s Japanese distributor Kanamoto has secured a contract to provide seven C65 microturbine systems to a Japanese firm in the chemical industry. This company already has 44 Capstone C65 CHP systems installed and operating. The new systems will replace seven units that have reached 80,000 hours of continuous service. Waste heat produced by the microturbines will be captured and used for drying processes required by the chemical plant. The units are expected to be commissioned in July 2022.
