Highlighting the growing demand for distributed power solutions to meet Africa’s industrial energy demands, GE today announced it will supply three of its 4-megawatt (MW) Jenbacher J624 gas engines and one of its 2-MW J612 units to power a new factory that will produce billions of syringes and intravenous (IV) drug products that are needed each year to fight against malaria in Africa.
Clarke Energy-GE's authorized distributor of Jenbacher gas engines in Nigeria-will install the 14-MW cogeneration plant at the syringe and IV products factory on behalf of Nigeria-based Integrated Medical Industries Limited (IMIL). Based in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, IMIL is the first company in the West African sub-region to obtain World Health Organization (WHO) pre-qualification for auto-disable syringes. IMIL is solely owned by the Rivers State Government in Nigeria.

Capstone Turbine Corporation, the world's leading clean technology manufacturer of microturbine energy systems, continues to expand its reach into the Chinese market with the sale of multiple C30s, C65s and C200s that will be installed at various oil and gas sites. The three orders, valued at more than $1.3 million, are a significant milestone for Capstone's growth in China as they represent the first sales into the oil and gas market.
Top-Well Petroleum Technologies, Capstone's oil and gas distributor in China, received the orders for the units from two Chinese oil and gas producers. The units, which are fueled by well-head gas, will generate reliable, low-emission electricity. The clean-and-green onsite electricity produced by the Capstone C30s, C65s and C200s will power the production equipment.
"With the difficulty and expense of bringing traditional power to the remote sites, the customers chose Capstone microturbines because of the high reliability and long maintenance intervals of our systems," said Darren Jamison, Capstone President and Chief Executive Officer. "Capstone microturbines are designed to efficiently convert well-head gas to electricity and outperform other options."

Capstone Turbine Corporation, the world's leading clean-technology manufacturer of microturbine energy systems, today announced that it recently received an order for 100 microturbines for $6.4 million from its Russian distributor BPC Engineering for a new pipeline project.
The 100 low-emission Capstone microturbines will be installed at modular power stations. All the microturbines will be fueled by untreated associated gas from well sites that otherwise would be flared. Associated gas utilization for power will allow the customer to avoid costly emissions penalties and to significantly reduce power costs at the oil field level. The electricity generated by the microturbines is expected to cover nearly all the energy needs of the oil field.
"Russia is Capstone's top international oil and gas market," said Jim Crouse, Capstone's Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Russian oil and gas producers count on Capstone's high reliability, low emissions, and low maintenance costs," added Crouse.

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced $20 million to support clean-energy projects that will provide continuous power and heat during power outages. These projects are in support of recommendations made by Governor Cuomo's NYS 2100 Commission in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. These combined heat and power (CHP) projects provide manufacturers, apartment buildings, hospitals, universities and other large buildings the ability to produce a portion of their own heat and electricity.
"Investing in combined heat and power technology will help keep our electric grid reliable and efficient, and make our businesses more competitive," said Governor Cuomo. "In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, we have learned the value and importance of having clean-energy technologies like CHP in place that will keep the lights on and systems running for our residents and businesses."

Ruukki is to deliver the steel frame and envelope structures for Mälarenergi's new combined heat and power (CHP) plant to be built at Västerås in Sweden. Ruukki's customer is Metso Corporation, which is responsible for supplying the world's largest recoverable fuel fired boiler for the project. The total value of Ruukki's deliveries for the project is around EUR 12 million. The power plant will be fired mainly by recycled fuel made from municipal waste and will also be capable of burning biofuel. When completed, the power plant will meet the district heating needs of Västerås and Hallstahammar municipalities.

GE has received contracts totaling approximately $500 million to provide equipment and long-term services, directly and via engineering procurement contractors, for the Emirates Aluminium (EMAL) smelter complex in Abu Dhabi. The project is expected to result in lower emissions, addressing the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) goal to achieve cleaner and more efficient industrial growth and enabling EMAL to produce aluminum with better fuel efficiency.
GE will supply gas and steam turbines, generators and a plant-wide control system for the Phase 2 expansion project that will position EMAL as one of the largest single-site aluminum producers in the world. In addition, GE will provide its latest technology upgrades for its gas turbines currently operating Phase I of the EMAL complex. The technology upgrades will include GE’s latest DLN 2.6+ combustion technology, which is expected to lower nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, as well as extend the lifespan of gas turbines parts by up to three times.
