What are the environmental benefits of the ClearEdge5?

Because the ClearEdge5 generates electricity and heat on-site very efficiently, the chemical conversion of hydrocarbon fuels into energy is substantially cleaner than comparable grid-only systems. The system significantly reduces harmful emissions produced by conventional power and heat generation sources. Criteria pollutants are eliminated like NOx, SOx, particulate and coal ash, typical with the combustion of fossil fuels. Because of the high 90% overall efficiency, less fuel is consumed per unit of energy produced. This enables the ClearEdge5 to provide a significant net reduction in CO2 emissions, delivering a 35-40% lighter footprint for the energy produced when compared to the existing infrastructure. The lower carbon footprint supports the goals of California’s Global Warming Solutions Act (AB32) and other state initiatives to reduce climate change impacts.
