 HVO fuel can immediately reduce air pollution without costly engine modifications HVO is a fossil-free fuel,

which is a great environmentally-friendly alternative to regular diesel A wide range of on road modern vehicles,
generators, construction machinery and industrial power systems can use this fuel as a drop in replacement to
diesel.
 HVO is a high-quality, clean liquid fuel with zero sulphur and zero aromatic content It’s synthetically made
through a hydrotreatment process from vegetable oils which allows it to significantly reduce harmful emissions
when used in diesel vehicles and machinery.
 HVO has a reduced need for regular testing due to its renewable properties and has a much longer storage life than
regular diesel – 10 years plus When properly looked after, maintenance savings on storage could be considerable

 No engine modifications are required and can improve fuel efficiency

 More than 10-year lifespan with reduced need for testing
 Reduces Nitrogen Oxides up to 10%
 Behaves like traditional fossil diesel fuel
 Excellent cold properties: cloud points down to -40 ºC (-40 °F) can be reached
 No risk for impurity precipitation temperatures above cloud point
 Density is the same regardless the cloud point Low density (~780 kg/m3)

Convault tanks
Above ground liquid storage ConVault protected above ground fuel storage tanks are engineered to survive in the
real world. Developed for hostile and disaster zones adopted and deployed by the UN at airbases.

Utilising patented manufacturing procedures, the resulting product is a tank for flammable liquids seamlessly
encapsulated in150mm thick monolithic concrete shell with integral secondary containment, thermal stability,
vehicle impact protection, and projectile protection. ConVault® meets uniform fire codes. Inspection for leaks is
visual, which eliminates very expensive monitoring equipment needed to detect leaks underqround. ConVault®
Vaulted Fuel Storage tanks are finished units - pumps and accessories are available - and can be set in place, ready
for use.
The ConVault® tank can be customized to fit your needs
“The Convault facility we installed at Taunton performed very well.
The expectation for this first installation was to retail approximately 40% of fuel sales during the rebuild
period but in fact it achieved in excess of 70%, which relates to trading in excess of 300,000 litres of fuel per
week – far more than some permanent petrol filling stations.”

The demand for standby power solutions across the globe shows no sign of stalling, with the market expected to grow more than 3.5 percent between 2020 and 2025.

The factors driving this growth are dictated by geography. In Europe, for example, expansion of the data centre industry, coupled with favourable regulatory policies, is spurring
the increase.

In North America, a surge in weather-related disasters has created more demand for emergency power. While in Africa, a combination of unreliable grid infrastructure and
explosive population growth is shaping the surge for standby.

This hunger for electric power (EP) criss-crosses virtually every sector – education and financial institutions, hospitals and telecommunications, as well as the industrial sectors
of so many emerging economies.
Of course, customers won’t just throw money at any available solution. With many operating in highly competitive business environments, their buying criteria are extensive.
Even at the most fundamental level, they’ll want to be sure their purchasing decision minimises their capital, installation, and maintenance costs – and meets local
environmental standards.

From rural Rwanda to the cities of Saudi Arabia, electrical power provides the backbone of modern life. But how far-reaching is its impact on the social and economic
development of a place and its people?

It takes only the briefest power cut to remind us how deeply we depend on a reliable supply of electricity. Whether we’re lighting our offices, heating our homes, or powering
the devices that keep us constantly connected to the world, electrical power underpins almost every activity and service we rely on, every day of our lives.

While electricity is a vital enabler for people, businesses and economies to get their jobs done – and a powerful driver of social and economic prosperity – many millions of
people are still deprived access.
Recent data shows that nearly 600 million people in Africa still live without electricity.
Meanwhile, the majority of regions in developing countries still can’t count on accessing
reliable and continuous power when they need it.

While this imbalance of power deservedly makes headlines, there is good news. Global
electrification has progressed steadily over the last 10 years and is now around 90 percent.
Although, the pandemic of 2020 reversed some of that progress, with investment in power
grids falling to its lowest level in a decade.

Despite the setback, developing economies understand the importance of expanding access
still further. Sales of off-grid technologies, such as generator sets, or off-grid lighting which
power homes and businesses in some of the poorest, hardest to reach locations, continue to
perform strongly. In fact, experts have shown that more than 30 million people gain access
to basic electricity services through these off-grid technologies.
In Kenya, economic growth and electricity access have been intertwined. The World Bank
reports that at least $3bn in private capital was invested in the power sector, including
electricity infrastructure, between 1997 and 2018. This has led to sustainable growth, faster
industrialisation and improved living standards. Meanwhile, unemployment and poverty
rates have dropped significantly.

Algeria is yet another success story. The north African state has developed advanced
technology that captures waste gas previously leaking from its gas pipelines and passes it
through gas engines to convert it into electricity. This innovative source of power is supplied
to remote villages to power mobile telecom towers and other essential services, boosting
outcomes and prosperity in previously cut-off areas.
All of this demonstrates that access to stable electricity transforms economies and societies. When electricity is accessible and dependable, it brings the potential for increased
income, improved education, and decreased poverty.

Furthermore, stable and reliable power drives successful multi-national businesses to invest in infrastructure projects and business opportunities in developing countries,
especially where the cost of business is relatively low

Whichever way the trend for grid investment develops in the coming years, generator sets will continue to provide access to stable power for many millions of people
worldwide.

They’re a critical piece of the jigsaw; not only meeting the need for prime, non-stop power in remote locations far from national grids, but delivering standby power to factories,
offices, hospitals, airports and schools to ensure there’s no impact on critical operations or public health during a grid outage

Even in the world’s richest economies standalone generators play a vital role.

In the U.S., the generator set market has witnessed substantial growth as grid outages have brought unexpected costs and inconvenience to IT-enabled service firms and data
centres. Other drivers include the increased vulnerability of power stations to weather events and the transition from fossil-fuelled generation to intermittent renewables.

As confidence in domestic power grids continues to rise and manufactures of generator sets and other off-grid technologies support the provision of greater access to power,
more of the world’s population will enjoy the increased opportunities and prosperity that reliable connections bring.

More global citizens will be free to scale their businesses with confidence and tip the scales on their life chances. While developing nations will have the energy security to
carve a clearer path towards economic prosperity and sustainable development.

As swathes of people, communities and businesses continue to rely on generator sets for power, the reliability and cost-effectiveness of those machines has never been more
important.

According to Dieselforum.org5 diesel-powered generators “provide the most reliable form of back-up power”. To deliver this dependable power, they must provide robust
engine performance and have the latest advanced engine technologies, or users risk costly maintenance bills, downtime, and outages. Power density should be another
consideration, because more efficient engines enable generator sets to be cheaper to fuel, operate, service and maintain.
Even in the world’s richest economies standalone generators
play a vital role.
