Events for a lifetime: Aggreko’s commitment to sustainability — and to you
Powering unforgettable moments with a greener future
Our sustainability responsibility
Together with our customers, our employees, and our partners, Aggreko has embarked on an exciting journey. The destination: Becoming a Net Zero business across all services we provide by 2050.
To achieve this, we have committed to three major goals in the next decade. By 2030, Aggreko will:
- Reduce the amount of fossil diesel fuel used in customer solutions by at least 50% by offering customers cleaner technologies and fuels that guarantee the same or better level of reliability and competitiveness
- Reduce local air quality emissions of our solutions by 50% (this includes all emissions from diesel, gas, and other fuels)
- Achieve Net Zero across all our own business operations
As event specialists, we understand the energy you need, no matter the size or location.
We know there is no margin for error. Being in the public eye, the pressure to perform in a sustainable way is an even greater challenge. We’ll work with you and use our deep expertise to develop the right choice of solutions and services that deliver the energy you need. Without losing our focus on reliability, we’re also committed to operating in the most efficient way, introducing new technologies to be ultimately cleaner.
From powering your event to the project management and build of your energy infrastructure, we’re with you throughout, helping your event perform efficiently and at its best.
Our holistic approach
While your attendees only see the amazing final product of your event, we know how much work goes on behind the scenes. We can help you go green throughout the entire planning and execution process, providing a holistic, sustainable approach to powering your production.
One of the most significant ways to avoid GHG, local emissions and reduce expenses is to minimize freight shipments. Aggreko is constantly refining our generator and power electronics designs to make them more compact and easier to transport, reducing the trucks and fuel required to get them to your event. We can also get creative with shipping and logistics to reduce your carbon footprint and improve your bottom line.
HVO fuel
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, or HVO, is the very best of renewable fuels. Made from waste cooking oil and other vegetable oils, HVO fuel is a FAME-free, fossil-free, CO2-friendly alternative to regular diesel. As a premium-quality renewable diesel alternative, it’s made from 100% renewable raw materials. Unlike other renewable fuels, HVO performs excellently in cold weather and is shelf-stable for many years.
What’s more, HVO can be used alone to fuel any Aggreko generator with no need for modification or a diesel mix, meaning your favorite go-to equipment can now operate more sustainably. In fact, HVO emits 90% less CO2 than diesel. In Aggreko generators, HVO even reduces local emissions like NO2 and SO2.
Because HVO is so clean, some jurisdictions offer credits to offset the cost of fuel we’re happy to work with you to secure the best deal possible on your sustainable event solution. Aggreko even offers mass balancing if your area does not provide credits.
The operations infrastructure for the NYC-based race in this groundbreaking automotive performance series was powered entirely with Aggreko generators fueled by HVO. This clean energy solution enabled the race to avoid more than 53,000 tons of CO2 emissions over the course of the event.
