Dual-fuel hydrogen piling rig (converted CFA rig)

1 mention

A medium-sized continuous flight auger (CFA) piling rig that has been converted to operate using a dual-fuel system combining hydrogen, diesel, and biofuels (HVO). The conversion allows the rig's machine component to be powered by on-board hydrogen tanks, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
