Ottawa-based Thermal Energy International (TSX-V: TMG) says it’s received an inaugural order for its cogeneration technology, a system that works with Thermal’s existing products to reduce energy consumption even further.
Thermal says the sale is worth $1.46 million and involves “a leading Fortune 500 food and beverage customer.” The Ottawa clean-tech firm typically does not name its clients.

In its most recently released financial results, Thermal reported third-quarter revenues of $3.2 million and a net loss of $56,000 for the three-month period that ended Feb. 28.
