Capstone’s distributor E-Finity Distributed Generation has secured a new long-term Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) contract with a cryptocurrency mining company looking to reduce its impact on the environment. E-Finity also secured further orders: ten C65 microturbine systems, to be deployed at various oil and gas wellhead sites in the Marcellus Shale region; and a C1000S system from TCR2 Therapeutics, a biomedical research and development company providing novel T-cell therapies for the treatment of various cancers.
Additionally, Capstone secured a contract to provide a one-megawatt microturbine system to be installed in a landfill gas-to-energy project for a solid waste facility in New England. Finally, Capstone’s partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) – Argonne National Laboratory and the University of California, Irvine (UCI) has determined that the Company’s microturbine-based systems can safely perform on 30% hydrogen blended with natural gas without requiring costly hardware or software modifications.
