Fredericia, Denmark — 20 MW operating  ·  West Texas — 50 MW in development Bridge fuel. Bridge power. No diesel lock-in.

The Operating Model

The bridge between diesel and baseload.

Most power problems are not one problem. They are a sequence: you need something running now, something cheaper in a year, and something permanent after that. We contract the sequence, not the snapshot.

The Four Rungs

Each rung is cheaper, cleaner and more permanent than the one before it.

The equipment, the fuel and the commercial terms all change as you move across. What does not change is the counterparty, the operating team or the availability commitment.

RUNG 01

Deploy

Weeks 0–12

Mobile gensets on site and carrying load. Same speed as a diesel deployment, without committing your site to diesel.

Fuel: renewable diesel / HVO
RUNG 02

Displace

Months 3–12

Fuel switched to the cleanest liquid the site permits and the engines accept. Emissions and permit exposure drop without new iron.

Fuel: HVO, blends, LPG
RUNG 03

Convert

Months 9–24

Gas arrives — virtual pipeline or lateral. Dual-fuel conversion or purpose-built turbines and recips take over as prime power.

Fuel: CNG / RNG / pipeline gas
RUNG 04

Integrate

Year 2+

Permanent microgrid, grid-parallel where it pays, heat recovered where there is a thermal load, hydrogen-capable where the design allows.

Fuel: gas, RNG, hydrogen-ready
Rung by Rung

What actually happens at each step.

RungWhat we deployFuelWhat changes for you
01 · DeployMobile reciprocating gensets, distribution, controlsRenewable diesel / HVOYou are carrying load in weeks, at diesel speed, without a diesel-only permit position
02 · DisplaceSame iron, fuel system tuned and re-specifiedHVO, blends, LPGEmissions intensity and permit exposure fall; delivered cost improves as volume builds
03 · ConvertDual-fuel conversion or purpose-built turbines / recipsCNG, RNG, pipeline gasDelivered cost per kWh steps down materially; the plant becomes permanent
04 · IntegrateFull microgrid, grid-parallel controls, heat recoveryGas, RNG, hydrogen-readyYou run the cheapest available source hour by hour, with islanding when the grid fails
Rung timing is site-specific. Gas availability, permit conditions, engine selection and offtake terms all move the schedule. We model your actual sequence during feasibility rather than publishing a generic timeline.
The Comparison

How this differs from a rental diesel bridge.

 Rental diesel bridgeCrossbridge bridge
Time to first powerWeeksWeeks — same speed
Phase 1 fuelDieselRenewable diesel / HVO from our own supply
Fuel counterpartyThird-party distributor at spotUs — we refine and blend it
Permit exposureNOx and particulate limits cap run hoursLower-emission fuel widens the operating envelope

Who owns the ironA rental fleet, priced by the dayWe do, priced against the actual term
Stranded cost at phase 3Everything from phase 1None — the assets redeploy or convert
Heat recoveryNot offeredStandard where a thermal load exists
Commercially

One agreement across four rungs.

The commercial structure is a single power purchase agreement with defined step points. Each step has a trigger — gas availability, a permit condition, a load threshold — and a pre-agreed price at the far side. You are not renegotiating under pressure while your facility is running.

  • Step triggers defined at signature, not left to a future negotiation
  • Price at each rung agreed up front, so the savings are contractual
  • Fuel bundled or unbundled — your choice, at every phase
  • Availability commitments that survive the transitions
  • Exit terms for when your utility interconnection finally arrives

What We Need From You

  • LoadPeak MW, average MW, ramp
  • LocationSite or coordinates, land control
  • DateFirst power, and the cost of a slip
  • AlternativeUtility quote or queue position
  • ConstraintsPermit, noise, emissions, offtaker terms

With those five inputs we can usually return a rung-by-rung plan and an indicative delivered cost inside a week.

The bridge is the product.

Anyone can rent you a generator. We are selling you the whole path — first power in weeks, a cleaner fuel from hour one, and a contracted step down to permanent gas capacity.
