Capstone Green Energy has extended its strategic channel partnership
agreement with leading energy technology company Baker Hughes.
On Earth Day 2021, Capstone announced that it was leveraging its
energy conversion and storage products with the addition of the Baker
Hughes 5 MW, 12 MW, and 16 MW industrial gas turbines. Capstone
selected Baker Hughes as a qualified network partner because of their
similar focus on low emissions, long service intervals, low lifecycle
costs, and vigorous hydrogen development program.
The company’s large-scale gas turbine technology allows Capstone Green
Energy to serve customers with energy needs that exceed the capacity
of their own low emission microturbine based energy solutions. As part
of the new agreement, Capstone Green Energy will offer Baker Hughes
technology to additional territories in the U.S. and Canada, as well
as on a case-by-case basis outside North America.
“Naturally, Capstone is excited to offer our customers custom-tailored
energy solutions based on their specific needs, beyond the capacity
our own technology provides,” said Darren Jamison, president and CEO
of Capstone Green Energy. “But we are especially pleased to do so with
a partner whose technology provides the kind of reliability and cost
savings we promise and one whose focus aligns with our own green
energy mission.”
 The
two companies said they maintain common goals of helping companies
achieve greater energy independence through increased reliability,
cost savings, and environmental improvements. The ability for Capstone
Green Energy to include Baker Hughes turbines in its technology mix
allows the company to provide commercial and industrial customers with
systems capable of providing up to 60 MW of power while still
providing high reliability, long service intervals, and very low
emissions.
Capstone Green Energy and Baker Hughes also have a shared goal of
producing a commercially viable turbine system capable of 100%
hydrogen. Baker Hughes has commercially available gas turbines capable
of various levels of blended fuel gas from 10% up to 100% hydrogen.
Capstone is also currently lab testing a 30% hydrogen - 70% natural
gas configuration with a goal of commercial release by March 31, 2022.
