The Official Opening of the Greenvironment 1st commercial microgasturbine powerplant

Kupferzell, Germany

6/15/2007

A new chapter in bioenergy was opened with the commissioning of the first microturbine powerplant of Greenvironment (www.greenvironment.com) in Germany. The microturbines by Capstone Turbine Corporation (www.microturbine.com) mainly used for natural gas applications from now on also enter the fast growing European biogas market. The Greenvironment expertise and technologies concerning the treatment of biogas combined with the Capstone microturbines prove to be an excellent alternative to the currently used engines in the biogas sector.

On Friday, June 15, 2007, in the presence of 150 invited guests from industry, politics and press, the first microturbine powerplant with waste heat fired residue digester was officially opened. The next day was organized as "open day" - about 350 farmers and others in biogas interested visited the site and came for discussions with the companies involved.
