Turnkey 800kW Installation Delivers Reliable Electrical and Thermal Energy to Increase Efficiency and Reduce Pollutant Emissions
Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, a leading provider of clean technology solutions using ultra-low-emission microturbine energy systems, today announced a significant project win with a premier producer of premium frozen Mexican foods. The company, recognized for its high‑quality, pepper‑focused product line distributed across Mexico and the United States, has selected the Capstone C800S microturbine to support its growing thermal‑intensive manufacturing operations.
The client was seeking a reliable and efficient solution to meet rising energy demands and sustainability goals. The project will leverage the Capstone microturbine’s clean exhaust heat in a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) application. This thermal energy will be used to preheat water for its boilers and to deliver consistent thermal energy for cooking processes, both mission-critical elements of its production workflow.
By integrating the C800S, the client aims to significantly reduce energy costs, lower pollutant emissions, and strengthen overall operational reliability. The adoption of Capstone’s microturbine technology underscores the customer’s commitment to efficient, environmentally responsible manufacturing, while ensuring dependable production capacity to meet ongoing market demand. The turnkey project, secured by DTC Machinery, Capstone’s exclusive distributor in Mexico and Central America, is scheduled to be commissioned in early 2026.
