BURY, ENGLAND, August 28, 2010 (Press-News.org) Environmental concerns have prompted generator hire company Mather and Stuart Generators Ltd, one of the largest power hire companies in the UK, to make all hires carbon neutral. This follows a deal with Crown Oil UK for the supply of totally carbon offset diesel.
Mather and Stuart provide power hire services to any branch of construction, industry or commerce where mains supplies are not available as well as areas like education, leisure and retail. "New mains are often not installed in time or there are cases of cables being severed or stolen, and that is when we step in, explained director Mark Stuart. "With a hire fleet of over 800 generator sets, we believe that this is a big win for the environment and one that distinguishes us from other hire companies."
Crown Oil UK carbon offset diesel is a standard commercial product for which they have bought high quality carbon offsets. The offsets support energy conservation projects throughout the world. These may involve the planting of trees to create carbon sinks or other programmes to actively reduce carbon emissions. This means that the carbon released by the burning of the diesel is effectively cancelled out. "Offset diesel is available for use in any on-site plant. This may include pumps, site vehicles, excavators, cranes, piling rings and any other site based plant which qualifies for red diesel," explained Mark Andrews, group general manager at Crown Oil UK.
Bio-diesel was considered as an alternative to the use of carbon offset diesel but was rejected for technical and ethical reasons. "Generators are often a distress hire and the last thing the customer needs is further technical glitches. Obtaining fuel from what is essentially a food resource also has ethical implications that make us uncomfortable, we are confident that the product and service that we receive from Crown Oil UK will ensure that we can maintain high performance standards that our customers expect," Mark Stuart explained.
