In industries that rely on off-grid temporary power, such as construction, live events, film production, utilities, and disaster relief, diesel generators have long been the go-to solution. However, these generators come with significant drawbacks, including noise, high fuel and maintenance costs, and alarming greenhouse gas emissions. As the world shifts towards sustainability, mobile battery energy storage systems (mobile BESS) are emerging as a cleaner, more efficient alternative. The Environmental Impact of Diesel Generators Diesel generators are notorious for their environmental impact. In California’s South Coast and Bay Area alone, they emit an annual 20 tons of fine particulate matter, 62 tons of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and nearly a thousand tons of nitrogen oxides—one of the primary contributors to ozone depletion. Furthermore, exposure to diesel exhaust has been linked to serious health issues, including lung cancer. With over 140 countries committing to net-zero t...
