Rolls-Royce mtu emergency power generator connected to a tank of INERATEC MATERA e-Diesel outside a modern data centre, with illuminated server racks and a Swiss cityscape at dusk. An infographic highlights laboratory test results, including compliance with selected EN 15940 requirements, fuel stability, compatibility with engine specifications and a calorific value comparable to fossil diesel. The image illustrates the potential of synthetic diesel made from renewable hydrogen and recycled CO₂ to defossilise backup power systems without replacing existing generators.
