The C1000 platform applies the same dependable technology found in Capstone’s 30 kW and 65 kW products. The new robust megawatt power system, based on Capstone’s C200 microturbine product line will be configured in a single 30 foot long ISO container and will provide the same low emissions and low maintenance benefits in a compact footprint. In addition, every installed C1000 Capstone microturbine solution is equivalent to removing up to 700 average U.S. passenger vehicles from the road, based on EPA emissions and efficiency data for the average US power plant and average passenger vehicle, or the equivalent of planting 730 acres of pine and fir forest, based on CO2 reductions.
Capstone Turbine Corporation engages in developing, manufacturing, marketing, and servicing microturbine technology solutions. Its microturbine technology solutions are used in stationary distributed power generation applications, including cogeneration, resource recovery, and secure power. The microturbines are also used as generators for hybrid electric vehicle applications. It sells microturbine units, sub assemblies, components, and various accessories, including rotary gas compressors with digital controls; heat recovery modules for CHP applications; dual mode controllers that allow automatic transition between grid connect and stand-alone modes; batteries with digital controls for stand-alone or dual-mode operations; power servers for multipacked installations; protocol converters for Internet access; packaging options; and miscellaneous parts, such as frames, exhaust ducting, and installation hardware. The company also remanufactures microturbine engines, as well as provides after-market parts and services. It sells its products to commercial, industrial, and utility users through distributors and original equipment manufacturers, as well as to distributors, authorized service companies, and end users in North America, Asia, the Pacific Rim, and European market, including Russia,
