In efforts to support the construction sector, global temporary power company Aggreko will utilise a calculator that will compare emissions and fuel consumption onsite<\/h2>\n

Accessible through the Aggreko website<\/a>, the construction emissions calculator tool will help customers find greener solutions to diesel fuel for use in construction. Real-life savings in carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and particulate matter emissions, and overall fuel consumption will be visible.<\/p>\n

‘The task of becoming carbon neutral will become increasingly difficult’<\/h3>\n

According to Chris Rason, managing director at Aggreko Northern Europe, the new construction emissions calculator is vital in the construction decarbonisation process<\/a>. \u201cThe Government\u2019s<\/a> ambitious net zero targets<\/a> continue to approach, and with each passing year, the task of becoming carbon neutral will become increasingly difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continues: \u201cAlongside this, legislation is not standing still \u2013 for example, the Government\u2019s proposed Sixth Carbon Budget will further accelerate all industries\u2019 path to sustainability, including construction, necessitating all businesses cut emissions by 75% before 2035.<\/p>\n

\u201cFaced with such a situation, it is vital that decision-makers immediately identify all areas in which the environmental impact<\/a> of their operations can be reduced. It is in this vein that our new emissions calculator has been launched, in order to assist those responsible for site power pragmatically transition to greener solutions via a data-driven approach.\u201d<\/p>\n

‘Each small switch now adds up to make a big difference over the long term’<\/h3>\n

The construction emissions calculator is the product of Aggreko\u2019s extensive sector knowledge. It can advise real-life solutions based on prospective site applications and power profile. For example, alternatives include greener technologies<\/a> such as Stage V generators and hybrid battery systems and fuels such as hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO).<\/p>\n

\u201cOur approach to decarbonisation is that each small switch now adds up to make a big difference over the long term,\u201d concludes Chris. \u201cThe fact the calculator can show bespoke alternatives to traditional diesel generator set-ups that can deliver environmental savings on-site is therefore key to this.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe adoption of innovative new equipment that use more sustainable fuels more effectively is foundational to our milestone new initiative, Greener Upgrades<\/em><\/a>, which will help tackle pollution across the supply chain. Indeed, it is with this strategy in mind that we have already pledged to reduce the diesel fuel used by customer solutions by at least 50% by 2030, and our new calculator is an important tool in this effort.\u201d<\/p>\n
