Powering the AI Revolution Sustainably: Capstone Green Energy and Microgrids 4 AI Forge Strategic Alliance for Next-Gen, Liquid-Cooled Infrastructure
Los Angeles, CA — In response to surging global demand for scalable, energy-efficient AI data centers, Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTC: CGEH) and its operating subsidiary Capstone Green Energy, LLC — a pioneer in clean microturbine power systems — today announced a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Microgrids 4 AI, Inc. (“MG4AI”), a leader in modular, AI-optimized infrastructure. Together, the two companies will co-develop and deploy next-generation AI data centers powered by sustainable, grid-independent microgrids — engineered for speed, resilience, and ultra-low emissions.
As AI workloads explode — demanding unprecedented compute density, liquid cooling, and megawatt-scale power — traditional data center models are hitting physical and logistical limits. Grid interconnection delays, soaring energy costs, and carbon-intensive power sources are slowing innovation. This partnership directly addresses those bottlenecks by fusing Capstone’s proven microturbine-based Combined Cooling and Power (CCP) systems with MG4AI’s turnkey, containerized AI compute pods — creating a fully integrated, rapidly deployable solution for edge AI deployments under 20MW.
Modular. Sovereign. Sustainable.
MG4AI specializes in modular, AI-ready infrastructure designed for enterprises, governments, and innovators seeking to deploy GPU-intensive environments without waiting years for utility upgrades or sacrificing security. Their containerized “compute-in-a-box” systems integrate advanced liquid cooling, high-density racks (scaling from 140kW to 600kW per rack), and hardened security — all optimized for edge locations.
Capstone brings to the table its ultra-efficient, low-emission microturbines — capable of running on multiple fuels including renewable biogas, hydrogen blends, and natural gas — paired with Capstone Engineered Equipment Packages (EEP) that include chillers, dry coolers, pumping systems, and optional battery storage (BESS). The result? A self-contained, off-grid-capable power and cooling ecosystem that slashes deployment timelines from years to months.
A New Standard for AI Infrastructure
“Capstone’s distributed energy platform is purpose-built for the next wave of digital infrastructure,” said Vince Canino, President and CEO of Capstone Green Energy. “AI is one of the most energy-intensive applications of our time — and also one of the most transformative. By aligning our microturbine technology with MG4AI’s modular architecture, we’re not just keeping up with demand — we’re redefining what’s possible in speed, efficiency, and sustainability.”
Ken Kajikawa, CEO of MG4AI, echoed the sentiment: “The future of AI won’t be built on yesterday’s data centers. It demands a new blueprint — where power, liquid cooling, and compute converge as a single, sovereign system. With Capstone, we’re delivering that complete kit: infinitely scalable, carbon-conscious, and ready to deploy anywhere on Earth. We’re not just enabling AI — we’re building the foundation it needs to thrive.”
Solving the AI Energy Crisis — Before It Begins
AI’s hunger for power is no longer theoretical. Training large models can consume more electricity than hundreds of homes — and as inference workloads scale, so too will global energy demand. Traditional grid-dependent facilities simply can’t keep pace — especially in regions with aging infrastructure or regulatory delays.
This collaboration offers a powerful alternative: localized microgrids that generate clean, reliable power on-site, integrated with liquid cooling optimized for high-density GPU racks. The system reduces or eliminates reliance on the main grid, cuts operational costs by up to 40%, and ensures uptime for mission-critical AI workloads — whether in remote industrial sites, defense installations, or urban innovation hubs.
Deployment is measured in weeks, not years. Scalability is built-in — from single-container pilot projects to multi-pod campuses. Sustainability is engineered from the ground up — with pathways to net-zero via renewable fuels and future hydrogen compatibility.
