ENI (Emissionfree Network Infrastructure) is a foundation with 45+ members from the whole value chain of emission free heavy duty machinery. About half of our members are construction companies in the infrastructure sector, the other half consists of a.o. machinery dealers, converting companies, rental agencies, battery and genset producers.

We cooperate pre-competitively to speed up the development and availability of >20 tons Zeroemission (ZE) off-highway machinery and power production units. So far, we estimate a few hundred units to be used in the Netherlands, covering earth movement, foundation, asphalt and transportation. 

We cooperate with a wider range of stakeholder like the government, grid operators, public procurement organisations and industry associations. The Netherlands have a higher urgency to go ZE than other countries and we therefore see a substantial head start in such developments for Dutch organisations. 

Since dec 2022, we publish our work online in order to support development of safe and effective equipment even outside our member companies because the Dutch situation requires more openness and cooperation then traditionally possible in a market economy. Knowledge sharing is part of our core values and a requirement to companies that want to join ENI.  

Please find below some of our publications we have translated into English to increase our reach internationally now that other markets gain traction in this transition as well. 

REPORT - Real World Insights into the emerging discipline of Zero Emission Constructions

15-11-2022

With this paper, we want to disseminate the experiences and insights that have been produced in the last two years to help parties in other countries to learn from those ZE pioneers. We specifically address the OEM manufacturer community, electricity utilities companies and public purchasers of construction works to take those valuable real-life insights on board.

We tried to keep it short and simple, although this means to compromise on some nuances that must be made. Please do not hesitate to contact us in case you would like to hear more about any particular topic.

The lessons we share in this paper are the following: 

  • “There is no alternative to going Zero Emissions - for several reasons”
  • “There is no future for combustion engines”
  • “ZE construction is about much more than just a machine”
  • “Grid connections are always first choice but won’t do the job alone”
  • “Calling on OEMs: Maximise global CO2 reduction per unit of development money”
  • “Immobile machines need exchangeable batteries”
  • “Battery capacity needs to be tuned to the maximum diesel consumption at 4kWh per litre”
  • “Energy harvest maximisation will be key and needs versatile energy storage and logistics”
  • “Technology standards will accelerate ZE development – subsidies are more likely to delay it”
  • “This energy transition transcends competition and client – contractor stereotypes”
