The construction industry in the Netherlands is caught between two developments that work against each other. On the one hand, all equipment is being electrified to achieve zero emissions; an electric crane no longer has an exhaust emitting harmful substances. On the other hand, the power grid simply doesn’t have enough capacity to keep all that heavy equipment running.

Society as a whole feels this dilemma. Construction takes longer, or cannot even begin. Homes are delayed, or never built. For this BAM project, the situation was even more immediate: there was no grid power available at all.

The question that remained: how could BAM keep building and meet sustainability requirements?

Bryntell builds power generation facilities that provide BAM with high power output and ultra-low emissions, right at the construction site. The CleanStar generators are designed for Brythol BS19, our self-developed energy carrier.

Virtually zero nitrogen and particulate matter, and virtually zero CO₂ emissions, even under continuous heavy use.

Thanks to the efficient fuel supply, a delivery is needed only once every two weeks. What’s more, the solution is not only environmentally friendly and practical, but also economically viable. With enough capacity to deliver up to 2,500 kWh per day, the average net energy price is around 1 euro per kWh. And all without relying on subsidies or external support.

Other providers also offer pieces of the puzzle. But when all the project requirements apply at once, most alternatives fall short. Bryntell was the only solution that met every requirement: 2,500 kWh per day, virtually zero emissions, and logistics that allow for a fuel delivery only once every two weeks.

For the people at BAM, the CleanStar machines look and feel like the equipment they’ve known for decades. Under the hood, everything is different, and the result is even quieter than the battery packs sometimes parked alongside them.

Because the hardware and fuel are specifically designed to work together, the efficiency is reflected not only in emissions but also in the price. Compared with diesel, the premium is shrinking; compared with other sustainable alternatives, Bryntell is by far the most affordable solution.
