As part of our sustainability policy, which aims to achieve carbon neutrality by fiscal year 2050, we are actively calculating our CO₂ emissions, establishing reduction targets, and implementing measures across the entire group. To support these efforts, we are promoting the use of biofuels as an alternative to diesel fuel, enhancing the environmental performance of our products, and striving to reduce CO₂ emissions throughout our supply chain.
We will offer options that contribute to the realisation of a sustainable society through environmentally friendly products to our customers, business partners, and local communities.
Here is the scope of application for biofuels in our hydraulic pile press-in and extraction machine, “SILENT PILER™”, along with precautions for use.
Biofuels can only be used when the following conditions are satisfied.
If whether the fuel standards satisfy the latest European standards is not known, contact the fuel distributor before using the fuel.
If a failure occurs in the machine due to the fuel used, we may ask you to collect the parts with the failure or the fuel used to investigate the cause.
Types of paraffinic fuels
GTL（Gas To Liquid）
Chemically synthesized liquefied fuel made from natural gas.
HVO（Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil）
Processed fuel (biofuel) made from vegetable oil or used cooking oil.
RD（Renewable Diesel）
Processed fuel (biofuel) made from waste cooking oil, waste animal and vegetable oil, etc.
Precautions of the use of paraffinic fuels
- Perform the maintenance work such as replacing the fuel filter in accordance with the instructions in the operation manual.
- Paraffinic fuels are characterized by lower density and lower calorific value than diesel oil, which may increase the fuel consumption and reduce the power.
- When switching from diesel oil to paraffinic fuel, the rubber of the fuel hose may be affected. Check for fuel leakage in the pre-operation inspection.
