Powers
smooth energy transition Aggreko is on a mission to cut the amount of fossil diesel fuel used in customer solutions by at least 50 % by 2030 and aiming to be net zero by 2050 . The sustainable fortunes of its own business , and that of its clients , are very much entwined .
“ LNG continues to be a strategically important option , and it ’ s certainly becoming more popular and providing a better option for our clients . Most mines that are running on diesel would prefer to run on gas ,” said Saffy .
He foresees no reason why you can ’ t add a solar battery energy storage , and any other renewable , to this LNG arrangement .
“ A good example would be our Granny Smith mine , where we have a gas-powered station and solar farm attached , and we ’ re looking at a wind option too ,” he said , adding
“ The Davyhurst project is going to save about 25,000 tonnes of CO2 and a great example of new technology coming to market , and miners having the foresight to commit to cleaner energy on site ”
