ENOC Group, a leading integrated global energy player, today introduced the first-of-its-kind in the world solar-powered fuel station – ENOC Link Solar-Powered Truck – which contributes to the acceleration of the UAE’s energy transition.
The announcement, made during the Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition (WETEX) 2023, taking place from 15th-17th November at Dubai’s World Trade Centre, is in line with the Group’s commitment to supporting the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, which targets an energy mix that combines renewable and clean energy sources to meet the UAE’s economic requirements and environmental goals.
With the ENOC Link Solar-Powered Station, which comprises batteries and solar panels, the whole system including pumps, metres, lighting, and air conditioning, will run on batteries powered by solar energy. Equipped with two dispensers allowing for the fuelling of two vehicles simultaneously, the ENOC Link Solar-Powered Station has an aluminium tank capacity of 5,300 litres divided into two compartments which can carry and serve up to two different grades of products.
Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO, ENOC Group, said, “ENOC Group has been at the forefront of delivering world-class sustainable and integrated energy solutions by investing in innovative technologies that support the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050. Today, we are introducing the ENOC Link Solar-Powered Truck – a first-of-its-kind in the world – which will revolutionise fuel distribution and contribute positively to the environment. As a leading integrated global energy player, we will continue to fuel innovation in line with the UAE’s larger goal of diversifying the energy mix whilst keeping the environment in mind.”
ENOC Group’s eLink station does not require assembly and can easily be deployed and relocated to different locations if needed, without any downtime. The station also includes vapour recovery systems to reduce emissions while loading from storage tanks. ENOC Link complies with the highest international safety standards including NFPA, ADR and UL. To minimise health and safety risks, all delivery staff are fully trained to follow strict safety and fuelling protocols.
