Are Capstone MicroTurbines safe for the environment?
Yes. By design, our microturbines achieve near complete combustion of flare and vent gases, virtually eliminating hydrocarbon emissions. According to the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, burning solution gas in a microturbine for resource recovery applications reduces emissions of greenhouse gases. With 9 ppm NOx, Capstone is an ideal solution for hybrid electric vehicle applications. Used in combined-heat-and-power (CHP) applications, efficiencies upwards of 70% to 90% reduce greenhouse gas emissions, guards against power reliability problems, and helps control energy costs.
