Can someone tell me the company advertised by Sara Nunnally[1] that has a generator that is using flare gas to generate electricity?

  1. Yep, that ad has been circulating for over a year now and presumably is still teasing Capstone Turbine, you can see our initial report from last year here: http://www.stockgumshoe.com/reviews/macro-trader/burning-money-were-teased-that-prez-obama-loves-this-company-that-turns-natural-gas-flaring-into-cash/

    While I have not seen the tout you mentioned, I am well aware of a company manufacturing the aforementioned “flare gas” generator. That device is referred to by the manufacturer as a “GeoVOLT 2500”. Here is a link to a video with more info. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij7tyG0LABI

    These units are showing up in the shale fields and are powering equipment once only able to be served by expensive diesel generators. Once the well is in and pressure is available, these units are plumbed into the pipeline heading to the gathering (aggregation) site. They do not “consume” gas, but instead consume/regulate pipeline pressure.

    Travis, the Capstone turbines are not large enough to prevent flaring, which is typically big gas. But they do turn a well into an electrical generation site. And electricity, I imagine, is cheaper to transport & sell than gas. After 15 years in business their losses are narrowing. If and when they actually start making money, CPST could be quite interesting.
