The 800 kW Microturbine Rental System Will Provide Reliable Power Using the Site's Waste Gas as Fuel

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$CGRN #Biogas--Capstone Green Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: CGRN), a global leader in carbon reduction and on-site resilient green energy solutions, continues to grow in the Energy as a Service (EaaS) market with a new 2-year rental agreement for a cryptocurrency data mining operation in West Texas. The contract was secured by Lone Star Power Solutions, Capstone’s exclusive distributor in Texas, Arizona, and the Gulf States and is expected to be commissioned in mid-December. The customer is currently evaluating an additional 1MW system to be deployed in early 2023.


“Capstone continues to expand its EaaS business, including its long-term rental program, which is an important element in reaching our profitability goals as rentals generate higher margins than traditional product sales. The rental program eases access to Capstone's premium product, allowing customers to enjoy the benefits of clean, low-cost, reliable power where capital is limited or competing for other critical capital uses. We are seeing demand from emerging and rapidly growing industries with intensive energy needs like cryptocurrency mining operations which affirms the attractiveness of Capstone’s EaaS approach and the growing size of our addressable market. With this latest contract, the Capstone microturbine rental fleet now stands at approximately 40 MW, with a goal of expanding to 50 MW by March 31, 2023,” said Darren Jamison, Capstone Green Energy President and Chief Executive Officer.

Located on an oil and gas well, the customer approached Lone Star looking for an innovative way to monetize their existing on-site production gas, a byproduct that would otherwise go to waste to support on-site cryptocurrency mining. A Capstone C800 microturbine rental was chosen to replace an aging reciprocating engine that was unreliable due to the site’s gas composition and extreme environmental conditions.

Cryptocurrency mining requires highly sophisticated computers, often in a data center, to solve complex computational mathematical problems. By their very nature, data centers require tremendous amounts of electricity. At a time when the utility grid is strained due to extreme weather, aging infrastructure, and inadequate transmission, on-site power provides a resilient alternative for energy-intensive facilities.

"Capstone’s fuel flexibility and ability to perform without de-rating or maintenance issues on lower quality fuels won this project to replace reciprocating on-site generators. Capstone has a major advantage in the flared gas to crypto market. By harnessing the minimally processed field gases, fuel costs are minimized, allowing for substantial operational savings. Additionally, using otherwise wasted (flared) gases for bitcoin production minimizes the environmental impact of data mining activities,” said Marc Rouse, Sales Director, Capstone Green Energy.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Membrane Separation Systems Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis - by Technology, Application, and Material" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The membrane separation systems market was valued at US$ 22,177.00 million in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 40,512.12 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.1% from 2022 to 2028. The market growth is mainly attributed to factors such as the extensive use of these systems in wastewater treatment and a wide range of applications in the dairy industry. However, the complex nature of the membrane separation technique hampers the market progress.

Recent developments in high-performance nanostructured materials; production technologies, such as 3D printing; and high-performance computing possibilities are opening new horizons for membrane separation processes. Polymers represent a dominant material family used in membrane separation processes, as polymeric membranes are economical and suitable for a broad range of applications. Cellulose acetate (CA), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyimide, polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) are the common examples of polymeric membranes.

Polymers such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ultrafiltration membranes are embedded with nanomaterial - such as metal/metal oxide or carbon nano-tubes (CNTs) - to improve the filtration outcomes. There is a high demand for nanofiltration systems in the oil & gas sector for the processing of natural gas such as coal bed methane. The Guangdong Rural Credit Union plans to build natural gas production and storage facility in the Guangdong province of China, as a part of the 14th Five-Year (2021-2025) Plan for Energy. The US government, in 2021, announced the construction of 177 natural gas plants to reduce CO2 emissions by 2030. These new plants would increase the production output of natural gas, thereby bolstering the use of nanofiltration membrane systems in the oil & gas sector.

Various control measures were taken to control the spread of COVID-19 worldwide in 2020, including improving the effectiveness of the treatment of water used for drinking and other manufacturing purposes. The COVID-19 pandemic has broadly affected several economies, such as Japan, India, Australia, China, and South Korea.

However, various membrane separation systems manufacturers responded to the rapidly evolving challenges through innovations. Since the onset of the COVID-19 infection, the membrane separation systems market has developed several approaches that contribute to market recovery and future growth, including long-term market needs and network planning through supportive government policies.

Based on technology, the membrane separation systems market is divided into microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, and others. The reverse osmosis segment held largest share of the market in 2021, and it is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

In terms of application, the membrane separation systems market is segmented into environmental, food & beverages, healthcare, and others. The environmental segment held the largest market share in 2021. However, the market for the healthcare segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Membrane separation technologies are extensively used in downstream processes for separation and purification via microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and diafiltration. Also, the new technique of membrane chromatography allows the efficient purification of monoclonal antibodies.

On the basis of material, the membrane separation systems market is segmented into polyethersulphones, polysulphones, polyvinylidene fluroide (PVDF), polypropylene (PP), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), and others. The polyethersulphones segment held largest share of the market in 2021, and it is further expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Firm’s rebrand demonstrates strength as a full-service law firm with 150 lawyers in four offices

NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Full-service law firm Liskow & Lewis APLC today launched a rebrand focused on its core work in the energy sector, reflecting the firm’s roots and its ongoing commitment to leading clients in their evolving industries. The rebrand includes a new visual identity and website that align with the needs of its longtime clients as they work to achieve their energy transition goals, while respecting Liskow’s history of leadership in the sector, dating back to its founding nearly 90 years ago.


“The process of reviewing our brand over the last year presented the opportunity to analyze who we have been, who we are, and who we want to be as a law firm,” said Mark D. Latham, Liskow president and managing partner. “We recognize that while we are very much a full-service law firm, energy has always been a major driver of business across all our practice groups, extending from transactional and litigation work to issues like ESG and diversity, equality, and inclusion. As our energy work continues, it has evolved as we partner with our clients in their ongoing transitions to renewable energy solutions.”

Liskow’s history in oil and gas dates to its founding in Louisiana in 1935, as it quickly grew to be a national leader in the energy sector. The firm participated in many landmark cases that helped shape the mineral law of Louisiana. It was also instrumental in the 1941 drafting and enactment of Louisiana’s conservation statute, which was the model for forward-thinking conservation legislation in the mineral producing states across the nation. Liskow has represented nearly all the traditional industry giants, including originals like Texaco and Amoco – some for more than 70 years. Liskow expanded its geographic footprint in 2005 with the opening of a Houston office, making it the go-to law firm for both offshore and land-based oil and gas work along the Gulf Coast. Liskow also has seen significant growth in its legal work outside the energy sector, including the representation of national and international companies in maritime matters and of regional Gulf Coast businesses in business matters.

The firm’s long-standing relationships with its clients carry over to its lawyers and staff as well. Many employees have spent their entire careers with the firm, some for as long as 50 years. Beyond its longevity, Liskow also stands out nationally among law firms for its commitment to diversity. More than 50% of its attorneys are diverse, reflecting its longstanding dedication to developing, promoting, and retaining diverse attorneys. The firm combines its commitment to clients and its foundation in energy with its innovative approach to the evolving sector.

The firm sought to capture these characteristics visually in its new brand. The visuals are meant to evoke a sense of forward motion, representing the firm’s commitment to leading its clients into the future of their businesses. The overhauled website also features improved navigation and a modern, progressive look and feel.

“In undertaking this rebrand, we wanted a visual representation of our firm and our work. We wanted to balance the outstanding work we do outside the energy industry, which is considerable, with our standing as a true market leader in the energy sector,” said Rachael Schilling, Liskow’s marketing director. “As our clients across all industries undergo significant evolutions in their businesses, we believe our new brand authentically positions us as a progressive and cutting-edge law firm for all our clients’ needs, now and in the future.”

About Liskow & Lewis APLC

Liskow was founded in 1935 in Louisiana to serve the energy sector and businesses along the Gulf Coast. The firm has grown significantly since and evolved alongside its clients – many of which it has partnered with for over 70 years. A pioneer in the industry, Liskow helped shape the mineral law of Louisiana and, in recent years, has helped energy clients transition their businesses to renewable energy. A full-service law firm with 150 lawyers across four offices in the Gulf Coast, Liskow is committed to developing and retaining the highest level of talent and to a culture of diversity and inclusion.

  • Sonja Winkelmann, Senior Director for Net Zero Energy Housing at the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA), shares her tips on how to build an energy efficient home

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--There are many reasons why you should build the most energy efficient home you can. For one, it shows that you are a progressive builder who is keen to work with the latest technology and information available to you. Homeowners appreciate the consistent comfort throughout their house and the long-term savings on their energy bills. Overall, building energy efficient homes has the dual benefit of conserving energy and helping Canada meet its collective climate change goals.


Energy Efficient Homes

The most energy efficient homes built in Canada today are Net Zero homes. That means that the building generates at least as much energy as it consumes over the course of the year. Net Zero Homes are built so efficiently that they consume up to 80 percent less energy when compared to a home built to the current Model National Building Code, and a renewable energy system provides the remaining energy needed.

To achieve energy efficient homes, builders need to focus on two areas: the building envelope and the mechanical systems. If Net Zero is the goal, you’ll also need a renewable energy system.

Whichever energy efficiency program you’re following (Net Zero, LEED, Energy Star, R-2000, Built Green, Passive House, etc.), there are a number of key materials you can use to achieve your goals including:

  • Exterior house wrap sealed at the seams
  • Insulation that exceeds current building code requirements
  • Interior sealed vapour barrier
  • Double- or triple-paned windows
  • Thermal exterior doors
  • Energy efficient lighting such as Square D switches and receptacles
  • Energy Star-rated appliances
  • A home energy monitoring system such as Wiser Energy
  • “Right sized” and energy efficient HVAC equipment
  • Solar panels and battery storage

Sustainable Building

Whatever rating program you’re following, the basic components are the same.

“An airtight building envelope with higher levels of insulation and high-performance windows will make a home more energy efficient,” says Winkelmann. Not only do these measures help keep the heat in during the colder months – meaning less energy is used for heating, in the warmer months they help keep the heat out, reducing the need for air conditioning.

The materials used to make a home airtight include external house wraps that are sealed at all the seams, insulation that exceeds current building code requirements, a sealed interior vapour barrier, and efficient windows and exterior doors. Depending on which region of the country you’re building in you’ll want to use double- or triple-paned windows.

Next is the building’s mechanical systems, including the HVAC system and water heating. With the building envelop properly sealed and insulated, “the mechanical systems can be ‘right sized’ to each home, so they perform better,” says Winkelmann. Combined, the sealed envelope and right sized and energy efficient HVAC systems improve comfort throughout the house.

Winkelmann also points out that the CHBA’s Net Zero program is “performance based rather than prescriptive” giving builders the ability to customize the design and construction of each home. This means builders have a variety of options and components at their disposal to achieve their goals in the most cost-effective way.

Appliances, lights, and other electronics in the home should also be Energy Star-rated models. LED lights, smart bulbs, smart switches, and dimmers all help reduce the amount of energy used for illumination.

An essential piece of equipment is a home energy monitoring system, such as Wiser Energy. This tool measures precisely how much energy a home is using, and helps owners identify ways they can reduce their energy usage. As the builder, you’ll need to help educate your client on how to minimize the amount of energy they consume and make any necessary adjustments based on the feedback their home energy monitoring system provides.

Finally, a Net Zero home has a renewable energy system – typically, incorporating solar panels mounted on the roof. Where possible, orient the roof to capture south- or west-facing views to maximize the system’s peak load. If your client isn’t ready to commit to a fully Net Zero home, you can install the required rough-ins for potential installation down the road.

How Schneider Electric Can Help

In addition to the Wiser Energy Smart Home Monitor, Schneider Electric has a number of products that can help improve the energy efficiency of a home.

Dimmers are a simple way to provide energy savings by offering full illumination when needed and subtle lighting for a more ambient feel. Schneider Electric also has a full line of stylish Square D™ X Series Z-Wave and Wi-Fi-enabled switches that put even more control and monitoring capabilities into the hands of homeowners.

With voice commands or control via the app, owners can remotely operate appliances and fixtures, create custom lighting scenes, monitor energy use at the plug level, and much more.

Space-saving features include single switches that can control a fan switch, humidity sensor, and occupancy sensor all in one.

When choosing outlets and switches, look for the Green Premium label, Schneider Electric’s best-in-class environmental performance products.

Homeowner Education

“A home will only run as efficiently as the owners operate and maintain it,” points out Winkelmann. That’s why homeowner education must be part of the handover process for your clients. Start by reiterating all the measures you took to make their home as energy efficient as possible. Then make sure they understand how to use their Wiser Energy Home Energy Monitor and offer advice on how they can adjust their lifestyle to reduce their energy consumption.

Whether it’s a desire to do your part to help reduce the impacts of climate change, energy independence or long-term financial savings, there are number of reasons why you should be building energy efficient homes for your clients.

Schneider Electric’s Wiser Energy Home Energy Monitors, along with their Wi-Fi-enabled and Green Premium products will help you achieve you and your clients’ energy efficiency goals.

Millions of North American homeowners and businesses rely on Venstar technology for advanced comfort control and energy management

WALLER, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#HVAC--Daikin Comfort Technologies North America, Inc. (Daikin) has acquired Venstar, Inc. (Venstar), a prominent controls and energy management systems provider whose technology and indoor comfort solutions are used in millions of residences and light commercial applications across the United States, Canada and Mexico.



The acquisition, announced today by Daikin – a subsidiary of Daikin Industries, Ltd. (DIL), the largest manufacturer of HVAC systems worldwide – complements the growing market for Daikin’s environmentally friendly indoor comfort technologies, including its high-performing inverter and heat pump solutions, and products featuring R-32, an open-source refrigerant with one-third the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of the most commonly used refrigerants in the U.S. and Canada.

Venstar, founded in 1992 and based in Southern California, designs and builds a broad variety of innovative thermostats with more than 10 million installed. The company’s Surveyor® Energy Management System allows retailers, restaurant chains and other multi-location businesses to remotely monitor, manage and control energy consumption while reducing maintenance expenses. Currently, Surveyor is used to control more than 100,000 HVAC systems and building lighting in more than 30,000 retail locations throughout North America. Venstar’s Skyport Cloud service provides businesses a secure and private powerful cloud service for command and control of HVAC systems from anywhere in the world.

Under the new ownership as a wholly owned business unit of Daikin Comfort Technologies North America, Inc., Venstar will continue to be led by Venstar’s existing management team with Steve Dushane, founder, president and CEO, as well as all current employees of Venstar. Venstar’s headquarters will remain in California and Daikin plans to maintain the strong recognition of the Venstar brand, along with maintaining all of Venstar’s successfully branded products.

“Venstar’s advanced smart thermostats, controls technology and outstanding energy management systems will help support Daikin’s leadership role in connected solutions, ensuring safe, environmentally friendly, peak performance operations of HVAC systems through cloud-connected monitoring and control,” said Takayuki Inoue, Executive Vice President and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for Daikin. “We are committed to facilitating North America wide adoption of energy-efficient inverter, heat pump and R-32-based systems. These Daikin systems provide superior environmental benefits, energy savings and indoor comfort performance over traditional HVAC systems that currently cool and heat most North American homes and businesses.”

Steve Dushane, founder, president and CEO of Venstar, said “We are excited to join a company with a strong commitment to innovating indoor comfort and cultivating environmental sustainability. Daikin products are known for their technology leadership, energy efficiency, robust quality and high performance, all hallmarks of Venstar’s products and services that will further enhance our brand portfolio.”

“Venstar’s energy management expertise and smart, communicating controllers will help contractors, homeowners and businesses optimize the energy-saving and performance benefits of inverter-driven HVAC systems,” explained Dennis Thoren, Vice President of Controls and Solutions at Daikin.

“Smart thermostat and cloud service solutions represent the future of indoor comfort beyond controlling temperature and ventilation,” said Thoren. “Monitoring and controlling performance, indoor air quality, predictive maintenance, and optimizing service truck logistics are just a few of the benefits that innovative thermostats and cloud-based services can provide contractors and customers. It’s an effective, easy way to manage energy consumption remotely, even eventually collaborating with electric utilities to improve demand response. These are powerful benefits that provide value to utilities, contractors and customers.”

“For example, Venstar's Surveyor typically saves small-box retailers 20 to 35 percent of their controlled energy costs,” said Dushane. “This translates to tens of millions of dollars in savings each year and dramatic reductions in CO2 emissions,” he explained.

The acquisition is one of several Daikin has completed during the past few years as it works to transform the North American HVAC industry. The $500 million Daikin Texas Technology Park (DTTP), located just northwest of Houston, now employs more than 7,000 people.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#IOT--Validus Energy Aquilas Holdings LLC (“Validus”), partnered with Iron-IQ, a 6th generation cloud-native SCADA provider, upon acquiring their South TX assets in 2021. Iron-IQ’s unique architecture and modern technology offered an industry shifting approach to acquiring SCADA data, reducing back-office resources, and minimizing the overall total cost of ownership allowing a greater focus on operations.


Michael Ligrani, Iron-IQ CEO stated, “We are seeing that our future holds many more strategic partnerships like this one. Each party concentrates on driving efficiency in their respective concerns, and we all benefit. It is exciting to think about the possibilities that this strategy opens up.”

Validus views Iron-IQ not just as a vendor, but as a true partner and integral part of their team’s success. Iron-IQ enabled Validus to easily receive clean, consistent data which allowed them to utilize their SCADA more effectively. This resulted in reduced manual monitoring and reclamation of countless hours of SCADA engineers pulling data from the field. Iron-IQ proved nimble in handling unique requests and implementing custom features to Validus’s operational needs, which allowed their team to focus on Operations.

Craig Willenborg, COO of Validus, stated, “Validus was excited to partner with a modern architecture SCADA company offering cloud-native solutions that minimized our back-office resources and provided real time operating efficiencies."

Validus’s goals were clear when partnering with Iron-IQ – select a software provider that didn’t require any extra overhead or equipment such as servers, external hardware, or software licenses. The partnership didn’t require Validus to hire an outside team of consultants or contractors to transition their SCADA system after they originally acquired their South TX assets. Iron-IQ’s ability to quickly onboard the Validus team to a modern platform combined with the customizable product suite options was the driving factor in joining forces.

He led significant business transformation to unlock value and new markets on an international scale and brings a rare understanding of the role of technology and government policy.”

We welcome both Larry and John to the ExxonMobil board, as the company executes its strategy to grow shareholder value by leading a thoughtful transition to a lower-emissions future, while providing the reliable energy and products the world needs,” said Joseph Hooley, lead independent director for Exxon Mobil Corporation. “These new directors deepen the diverse expertise of the board with both bringing significant experience as executives of large, complex, capital-intensive global companies that successfully navigated significant industry transitions.”

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Hydrographic Survey Equipment Global Market Report 2022: Ukraine-Russia War Impact" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global hydrographic survey equipment market is expected to grow from $2.45 billion in 2021 to $2.63 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, effecting many markets across the globe. The hydrographic survey equipment market is expected to grow to $3.37 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%.

The main types of hydrographic survey equipment are sensing systems, positioning systems, optical systems, profilers, software, and other types. Sensing systems refer to a system utilizing technology such as, but not limited to, radar, video, sound, or infrared technology that shall be capable of detecting the presence of a person(s) or object(s) as measured by the placement of a 12-inch high by 12-inch diameter cylinder within a minimum area.

The various platforms include surface vessels, USV and UUV, and aircraft with a depth that includes shallow water and deep water. The various applications include port and harbor management, offshore oil and gas survey, cable or pipeline route survey, hydrographic or bathymetry survey, and other applications. The various end-users include commercial, research, and defense.

Asia Pacific was the largest region in the hydrographic survey equipment market in 2021. The regions covered in the hydrographic survey equipment market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

An increase in maritime trade is expected to propel the growth of the hydrographic survey equipment market going forward. Maritime trade refers to the type of trade that includes the use of ships to transport goods by sea. Hydrographic surveying is a civil engineering service that determines the physical features of an underwater area and helps the maritime trade. For instance, in 2021, according to United Nations Conference on Trade and Development data, a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, maritime trade is projected to increase by 4.3% in the year 2021. Therefore, the increase in maritime trade is driving the hydrographic survey equipment market.

Technological advancements are a key trend gaining popularity in the hydrographic survey equipment market. Major companies operating in the hydrographic survey equipment market are focused on developing new technological solutions to strengthen their position. For instance, in March 2022, Kongsberg Maritime, a Europe-based company operating in hydrographic survey equipment launched an addition to the acoustic modems, a cNODE Mantis that creates a new capability for streaming a live video feed for numerous subsea installations. The cNODE Mantis featured a live video solution technology that helps in subsea installation projects and visually monitors the placement of structures on the seabed.

In May 2019, Sonardyne, a UK-based leading manufacturer of underwater products for acoustic positioning, sensing, and UUV vehicles, acquired EIVA for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Sonardyne aims to strengthen its expertise in underwater communications, navigation with monitoring, and imaging.
