Its products are deployed wherever power is needed. After the development of the Super Silent, a power generator with a low noise emission, Bredenoord now also offers the option for low soot emission; the Clear Air, an integrated self-cleaning soot filter that reduces the soot emission to almost zero! This option is compatible with the standard Bredenoord generators. ## Patented self-cleaning filter The Clear Air is a patented, self-cleaning soot filter that collects the soot which is afterburned. The test institute TÜV Rheinland has examined the filter and concluded that the particle emission is reduced by 99.9 %. Both with low and maximum load of the generator. The system is also self-cleaning and therefore the regular change and maintenance of the filter is no longer necessary. ## Applicable with Brenenoord diesel generators The innovative Clear Air filter is an extra option that is applicable on all standard Bredenoord diesel generators. It is a module in the generator and does not need maintenance during use. Therefore there is no difference in the operation. Soot emission as a result of the use of mobile power supply facilities in sensitive areas such as events, construction projects in city centres or tunnels, no longer needs to be an issue. ![Clear Air Roetfilter EN](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL2NvbnRlbnQvb2xkX3NpdGUvQ2xlYXItQWlyLVJvZXRmaWx0ZXJFTi5wbmciLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJwbmciOnsicXVhbGl0eSI6ODIsInByb2dyZXNzaXZlIjp0cnVlfSwicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjo0MjAsImhlaWdodCI6Mjg4LCJmaXQiOiJjb3ZlciJ9LCJzaGFycGVuIjp0cnVlfX0=) ### Contact For more information please contact our Rental department.

The development of new energy solutions sometimes poses entirely new challenges, for which we have to find a fitting solution before we can move on. Grid congestion, which roughly compares to a traffic jam on the grid, is a typical example of that. We generate more and more wind and solar energy, which is excellent from a green viewpoint, but also creates new challenges for grid operators. The more we use sustainable energy sources, the harder it is to align the supply and demand of our energy. This, however, is crucial for maintaining grid stability, and so we must work together to find fitting solutions to help us navigate through the energy transition.](https://www.bredenoord.com/en/insights/what-is-grid-congestion/ "What is grid congestion and what can we do about it?")[![Hybride oplossingen 1 HR](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL2hlcm8vb2xkX3NpdGUvSHlicmlkZS1vcGxvc3Npbmdlbi0xLUhSLmpwZyIsImVkaXRzIjp7ImpwZWciOnsicXVhbGl0eSI6ODIsInByb2dyZXNzaXZlIjp0cnVlLCJ0cmVsbGlzUXVhbnRpc2F0aW9uIjp0cnVlLCJvdmVyc2hvb3REZXJpbmdpbmciOnRydWUsIm9wdGltaXplU2NhbnMiOnRydWV9LCJyZXNpemUiOnsid2lkdGgiOjM3NSwiaGVpZ2h0IjozNzUsImZpdCI6ImNvdmVyIn19fQ==) Hybrid solutions during the energy transition The transition from fossil energy to sustainable energy is quite complex. It is impossible to take this step all at once. The transitional phase we currently find ourselves in is called the energy transition. This energy transition is characterized by the development and gradual implementation of new, innovative solutions. The past years many new possibilities arose that allow us to reduce both the emission of fossil fuels as well as the need for these fuels in the first place.](https://www.bredenoord.com/en/insights/hybrid-solutions-during-the-energy-transition/ "Hybrid solutions during the energy transition")[![Br 03 03 10 144](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL2hlcm8vb2xkX3NpdGUvQnItMDMtMDMtMTAtMTQ0LmpwZyIsImVkaXRzIjp7ImpwZWciOnsicXVhbGl0eSI6ODIsInByb2dyZXNzaXZlIjp0cnVlLCJ0cmVsbGlzUXVhbnRpc2F0aW9uIjp0cnVlLCJvdmVyc2hvb3REZXJpbmdpbmciOnRydWUsIm9wdGltaXplU2NhbnMiOnRydWV9LCJyZXNpemUiOnsid2lkdGgiOjM3NSwiaGVpZ2h0IjozNzUsImZpdCI6ImNvdmVyIn19fQ==) Clear Concept GTL Diesel Bredenoord offers its customers the choice; for example a choice for reliable energy with less emission. This is why Bredenoord, as the first player in the market, offers a new concept starting April 2010: generators that have been equipped with the Clear Air self-cleaning soot filter and that run on synthetic GTL diesel.
