The SCAQMD notes in an agenda item document on its Web site that it intends to ``distribute the installation of 30 kW and 60 kW MicroTurbines over the counties of Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino. (SCAQMD) staff is in the process of identifying landfills that have waste gases that are not presently utilized, as well as schools, colleges, hospitals, and other suitable recipients that may be able to utilize these turbines for power generation... The proposed MicroTurbine project will produce clean power at various locations, using natural gas or landfill gas, and thus help mitigate the energy crisis to the extent feasible. Landfill gas utilization is a net environmental benefit since this energy may be currently wasted. The Capstone MicroTurbines will produce power with emissions typically lower than that of the average power generation mix in California, and with much lower emissions than stand-by diesel generators.'' In discussing microturbine technology, the document states, ``While several manufacturers have been developing MicroTurbine technology over the last few years, Capstone MicroTurbines are commercially available today in 30 kW and 60 kW sizes, with reported NOx emissions below 9 ppm (at 15% O2) which represents very low emissions for this type of equipment. Capstone MicroTurbines are manufactured in Southern California and ... have been extensively tested at University of California, Irvine and found to be reliable and durable. At this time, they represent one of the cleanest and most readily available options for distributed power generation from MicroTurbines to mitigate the energy crisis in Southern California.'' One month ago, Capstone California announced a $4-million purchase of 30-kilowatt Capstone MicroTurbines by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (www.ladwp.com). The purchase was part of an unprecedented cooperative agreement between the SCAQMD and the LADWP. © 1999 Business Wire.
