Low-Carbon Backup Fuel is an alternative to conventional diesel for standby generators that produces substantially fewer lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions, such as hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), biodiesel, hydrogen, or synthetic e-fuels. Data centers adopt it to cut Scope 1 emissions from resiliency plant while retaining the fast-start, high-power characteristics required for emergency backup.
