We believe diesel generators are the dirty secret of the energy transition. From temporary power at construction sites and festivals to backup power for hospitals and data centres, on-demand, distributed power is essential. | |||
Diesel gensets accounted for 53% of the distributed power market in 2019, with their value set to almost double to $30bn by 2030. | Diesel gensets accounted for 53% of the distributed power market in 2019, with their value set to almost double to $30bn by 2030. We need a net-zero replacement for this industry giant, yet progress is slow. | ||
Replacing diesel generators means businesses switching to hydrogen or biofuels. Yet, with no clear, single, fuel of the future, businesses cannot risk the switch to generators designed for just one fuel. But without this demand, fuel suppliers won’t invest in greater production – a chicken-and-egg scenario that could stall climate action. | Replacing diesel generators means businesses switching to hydrogen or biofuels.
