Selim Stahl discusses zero emissions construction sites in a document dated October 18, 2016. Some cities now require fossil-free or zero emissions construction sites, as construction sites account for over 25% of CO2 emissions in some cities. However, many city CO2 reduction plans do not account for emissions from construction sites. Currently, diesel is the primary energy source for construction sites, but alternatives include hybrid systems using biodiesel and future options involving tethered battery systems with fast charging. The author suggests applying subsea experience and standards to the tethered battery system approach.

Zero Emmissions Construction Sites

2. Zero Emmissions Construction Sites: why?
Fossil-free or Zero Emmissions
Construction Sites are now required by
some cities (ex: Oslo)
+25% of CO2 emissions comes from construction sites for some cities
Many cities have ambitions CO2 reduction plans which often DO NOT take into
account construction sites

3. Emissions Sources from Construction Sites
Diesel based
energy system

4. Alternative to diesel today
Hybrid Biodiesel

5. Alternative to diesel tomorrow
Tethered Battery + Fast Charging

6. My personal touch: use subsea experience and
standards for the tethered option
Tethered
