With research signalling a rise in uptake of drop-in fuels for decarbonising existing equipment, the company is reinforcing the role of alternative fuels for use with temporary power, HVAC and compressed air equipment.
Sustainability targets
With unwavering pressure to make progress on sustainability targets, organisations across the continent are needing to balance decarbonisation with rising costs and energy resilience. When leveraging temporary energy solutions to improve resilience or prevent downtime, Aggreko is calling for companies to explore alternative fuels to make a more significant impact with emissions reduction in a shorter time frame.
As well as reducing emissions using fuels such as HVO with its Stage V generators, companies can also further improve efficiency and reduce emissions with a hybrid setup using battery energy storage solutions (BESS). These efficient and cleaner technologies are part of the company’s Greener Upgrades® Portfolio, which has seen significant investment to ensure customers in Europe can access suitable solutions for their requirements.
Carsten Reincke-Collon, Director of Future Technologies at Aggreko, said: “Across Europe, businesses have to balance their energy cost and resilience while lowering emissions in line with targets and regulations.
“Engaging with a strategic energy solutions partner who can advise on the most suitable alternative fuel for a temporary power set-up on your site could ensure that resilience is maintained while prioritising efficiency and emissions reduction. As an expert in the latest alternative fuels and renewable technologies, we are able to specify the correct equipment level, manage the fuelling and ensure continued monitoring and optimisation to get the best result for every customer’s temporary solution.”
Greener Upgrades
Providing industries across Europe with the latest technologies and alternative fuels as part of its Greener Upgrades® portfolio is a key facet of Aggreko’s wider sustainability framework, Energising Change™. With the latest alternative fuels available to be utilised with its fleet of power generation, industrial HVAC and compressed air solutions, Aggreko is able to support industries across Europe with decarbonisation alongside improving resilience and controlling costs.
When selecting a short, mid or long-term energy solution from Aggreko, customers can consult with its expert teams to decide which alternative fuel and equipment suits their application best. Aggreko can then manage the safe transport and storage of the fuel and with its Aggreko Remote Monitoring (ARM) service, ensure maximum fuel efficiency is achieved for lowering costs and emissions.
Carsten added: “We always working with closely customers to ensure that we’re implementing the most suitable, efficient, cost effective and sustainable solution for a site. As we move into the future, we will continue trials of alternative fuels such as hydrogen to evaluate their cost effectiveness and viability. This means we can always ensure we have the best solutions available for our customers evolving needs.”
