Eberhard Bau has signed a long-term offtake agreement for solar diesel with cleantech company Synhelion. Starting in 2027, Eberhard will purchase renewable diesel to reduce the CO₂ emissions of its construction machinery.
Synhelion’s renewable fuels are produced using renewable energy and are fully compatible with existing diesel engines – an ideal solution for construction machinery that operates under demanding conditions and is hard to electrify.
With the signing of the agreement, Synhelion is expanding the use of its renewable synthetic fuels to the construction sector for the first time – in addition to aviation, shipping, and road transportation. Construction machinery is heavy, operates in rough terrain, and is difficult to electrify due to its high power requirements. By using renewable fuels, Eberhard is taking on a pioneering role and contributing to the sustainable transformation of the construction industry.
“As a construction company, we have a special responsibility to use resources sustainably. Our machines are in heavy use every day – reliability is crucial. With Synhelion’s solar diesel, we can reduce CO₂ emissions in areas where there was previously no viable alternative,” says Silvan Eberhard, Head of Logistics at Eberhard Unternehmungen. “We are happy to have found a Swiss innovation partner in Synhelion with whom we can take a step forward and make a real contribution to defossilizing the construction industry.”
