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.
