Rouen, France
In July 2008, Capstone’s distributor in
France commissioned an array of Capstone
microturbines in a paper mill located in Rouen,
France. The microturbines run on methane
gas created by solid waste to generate 910kW
of electricity. The hot water recovered from
the biogas combined heat and power plant
partially feeds the sludge gasifier and the
rest is used for the paper mill process. The
Capstone turbogenerator has just one moving
part supported by our patented air bearings.
Since there are no liquid lubricants or coolants
to maintain, the microturbines are a low-
maintenance, clean, green, and reliable
source of energy. Those were the features
that were important to the customer which
prompted the choice of this environmentally-
friendly technology. 

Capstone microturbines running on methane gas generate electricity and

hot water for this paper mill in France.
