Capstone Green Energy a global leader in carbon reduction and on-site resilient green Energy as a Service (EaaS) solutions, announced today that its partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) – Argonne National Laboratory and the University of California, Irvine (UCI) has determined that the Company’s microturbine-based systems can safely perform on 30% hydrogen blended with natural gas without requiring costly hardware or software modifications. The long-term, promising method for producing hydrogen is electrolysis, the process by which hydrogen is split out of water. Electrolysis is one of several approaches to Green Hydrogen that is power generated from carbon-free energy resources such as wind, solar and water. Green hydrogen-fueled microturbines are perfect for complementing the intermittent nature of wind and solar power, making them an ideal component of the modern clean and green microgrid. Further, when wind and solar energy production exceeds demand, excess energy can be used in the production of storable renewable hydrogen energy.
