In some sectors, time is everything and even a brief interruption can lead to millions in losses.
This is especially true for logistics hubs. Genesal Energy knows this well, because we work daily with industries where energy is far more than just a resource – it’s the foundation upon which operations, logistics, and business are built.
One of our latest projects took place in an environment where continuity is critical: a 60,000-square-metre logistics centre serving a range of e-commerce and distribution companies. In this type of facility, electricity powers IT servers, automated machinery, robotic systems, and security controls. Our engineering team got to work to create a robust, efficient and fully tailored solution.
To meet the requirement, we designed a soundproof generator set in a 5000M canopy, with the engine and alternator directly coupled on a steel base frame. One of the key elements was autonomy: the unit includes a 900-litre integrated fuel tank, providing 4.5 hours of uninterrupted operation. In addition, a rubber anti-vibration system was installed to improve durability and reduce wear.
As in all our projects, safety was a top priority. We included protective guards on moving and hot parts, emergency stop buttons, and an external Link Box to facilitate both control and power connections.
Silent and Highly Reliable Technology
The installed set fits a GSI 650 silencer model, known for its low noise level (-30 dB) and other high-quality components, such as a Deep Sea DSE7320 MKII control panel and a 1600 A circuit breaker. The system is supported by two Tudor TC1853 185 Ah batteries, ready to respond in any scenario.
This project perfectly reflects what Genesal Energy stands for – a company that listens, analyses, and designs real, efficient, and long-lasting solutions. Because we understand our clients’ risks.

At a time of accelerated growth in the data centre sector, guaranteeing a continuous and reliable power supply has become a priority.
Aware of this need, we were selected to design a power solution to reinforce the electrical security of a data centre located in Asturias.
The project required a reliable, silent solution with remote control capabilities. To meet this challenge, we developed a fully customised 220 kVA data center generator set, soundproofed in a 3,800 mm canopy, equipped with a double-capacity fuel tank to extend autonomy, and structurally adapted for outdoor installation – exposed to adverse weather conditions.
One of the main technical challenges was adapting the design of the generator set to its outdoor location, next to the building’s façade. We incorporated an upper air outlet protected by a weather louvre, ensuring optimum performance even in unfavourable weather conditions. In addition, a precise calculation of the necessary cross-sections for gas inlet and outlet was carried out, ensuring efficient ventilation of the system at all times.
This project is an example of how customisation, efficient engineering and energy reliability can come together to respond to the demands of a constantly evolving industry such as data centres, where there is no room for error.
Our Engineering solution
A customised generator set was designed and manufactured in a 3,800 mm soundproofed canopy. To meet the autonomy requirements, a 1,200 litre tank was installed in the base frame, optimised to guarantee the necessary hours according to the estimated fuel consumption and other technical specifications.

Genesal Energy works every day to deliver power solutions that protect what matters most. And few things are more essential to life than access to clean drinking water.
That’s why we’re proud to have contributed to safeguarding this vital resource at water treatment plants in Lithuania, where we supplied five generator sets specifically designed to ensure continuous operation of the facility in the event of a power failure.
The plants play a key role in the daily water supply and in the treatment of wastewater. It required a reliable backup power system capable of activating instantly in the event of a grid outage, as any disruption could compromise critical processes such as pumping, purification, or waste control. In real terms, this could lead to homes without water, health risks, or serious environmental impacts.
The Genesal Energy engineering team designed the generator sets to activate immediately in the event of a power failure.
Our engineering team designed a solution made up of five generator sets: two 110 kVA units and three 275 kVA units, all installed in soundproof enclosures and equipped with high-capacity fuel tanks made of stainless steel – a material especially resistant to humidity and corrosion. Key design features included a flexible coupling system between the engine and alternator, a low-noise configuration (-30 dB), and 500W and 1,000W engine heaters to enable efficient cold starts.
Additional features included digital oil level sensors and a special RAL 5012 paint finish, customised to the client’s specifications.

Decarbonisation in industry is not just about technology: it’s about acknowledging operational complexity and the need to combine multiple solutions. Genesal Energy knows this well. That’s why we chose to take action.
Our renovation of units B27 and B28 at the Bergondo industrial estate (A Coruña) is a real example of how to integrate concrete, measured, and coordinated efforts to move towards a more sustainable industry.
Producing renewable energy is not enough, you also need to manage it properly.
In recent years, we’ve taken an active role in the energy transition, convinced that decarbonising our processes is not a choice but a responsibility. However, we are under no illusion: the path is not easy. Challenges are high energy consumption, demanding technical processes, and above all, the need to ensure uninterrupted operational continuity. We understand there is no single solution or magic formula. Every industry is different, and every step matters.
In our case, the first step was analysis. We studied our energy consumption, losses, thermal demand, and the renewable potential of our facilities in depth. Based on that data, we designed an intervention around four pillars:
Integration of renewable energy
Smart energy management
Recovery of energy flows
Overall efficiency improvement
For renewable generation, we chose to integrate the solution into the architecture of our buildings. We installed 111 sq metres of photovoltaic glass with a capacity of 13.1 kWp directly into the façades, allowing us to generate clean energy while also improving thermal insulation. This was complemented by a 252 m² photovoltaic roof (57.3 kWp) on unit B27. Thanks to these installations, we now cover 100% of the energy consumption of both units during peak solar hours.
But producing renewable energy is not enough, you also need to manage it properly. That’s why we incorporated the OGGY, an advanced energy storage and management system that monitors usage in real time and automatically determines the most efficient use of the available energy. This system helped us reduce consumption by 27% in just one year.
There is no single solution or magic formula. Every industry is different, and every step matters.
We went one step further: we began recovering the energy generated during genset testing (FATs). Thanks to its integration with OGGY, that energy is fed back into the system, further reducing our dependence on the electricity grid.
The results came quickly: in the first year, we avoided more than 23 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent emissions. Our facilities also improved their energy certification, moving from a rating of “E” to “B”. An improvement that reflects not just efficiency, but a genuine commitment to sustainability.
This project has shown us that industrial decarbonisation is not achieved through isolated grand gestures, but through concrete, measurable, and coordinated actions. It requires vision, strategy, and the ability to adapt solutions to the specific needs of each operation. And above all, it requires commitment.
Genesal Energy is clear on this: we’ll keep moving forward.

Genesal Energy’s sustainability commitment is tangible, reflected in real-world projects. One such initiative is the integration of HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) into generator set testing—an important step towards a cleaner energy model that maintains the reliability and quality for which the company is known.
HVO is a second-generation biofuel produced from organic waste such as used cooking oils and animal fats. These feedstocks undergo a hydrotreatment process that removes impurities and enhances fuel properties, resulting in a product with characteristics very similar to—if not superior to—conventional fossil diesel. One of its main advantages is that it can be used in existing engines, fuel tanks and storage systems without the need for modification, allowing direct deployment within current infrastructure.
Every step towards a more sustainable energy model must be based on independent validation, technical reliability, and a commitment to quality.
In addition to its compatibility, HVO offers key environmental benefits. It can reduce lifecycle CO₂e emissions by up to 90% compared to standard diesel, supports the circular economy by repurposing waste, and avoids the ethical conflicts often associated with first-generation biofuels derived from food crops. As a result, HVO has become a key tool in the energy transition: a practical, progressive and realistic pathway towards industrial decarbonisation. It is already part of Genesal Energy long-term sustainability strategy.
This solution is particularly relevant in sectors where energy reliability is critical and environmental requirements are increasingly strict—such as data centres, defence, healthcare and telecommunications. In these environments, HVO allows organisations to move forward with decarbonisation goals without compromising operational security or power continuity.
Ensuring Quality in Real-World Conditions
The shift to HVO was not based on laboratory trials or isolated testing. Genesal Energy sought to validate the fuel’s behaviour under real-world operating conditions, applying the same level of technical rigour required of every system component.
To achieve this, two generator sets representative of typical product applications were selected: a 100 kVA and 200 kVA units in Spain. Both were already in active service, supplying energy to installations under standard daily load and operational demands. These conditions offered an authentic view of how HVO performs in routine use and within the environments where it must deliver value.
Real-world testing and laboratory analysis confirm that HVO is a high-quality, dependable fuel solution—ready to meet the challenges of the energy transition.
Fuel samples were taken directly from the gensets, without altering or manipulating the product. These were submitted to an independent, accredited laboratory for full testing and verification against all required specifications and standards for safe, efficient use in diesel engines.
This approach reflects the company’s technical philosophy: every step towards a more sustainable energy model must be based on independent validation, technical reliability, and a commitment to quality. It is not enough for a fuel to be cleaner—it must also meet the performance and durability standards that define Genesal Energy solutions.
Test Results: Confirming HVO’s Quality and Reliability
The laboratory analysed the samples in accordance with UNE-EN 15940, the European standard for paraffinic synthetic and bio-based diesel fuels. Key parameters assessed included:
Density: Crucial for energy yield per combustion cycle. The measured density fell within the standard limits, ensuring consistent engine performance without the need for recalibration or risk of increased consumption.
Kinematic viscosity: Essential for proper fuel flow, lubrication, and injector spray pattern. The tested HVO met all viscosity requirements, supporting complete combustion and preventing deposit formation or clogging.
Distillation curve: Confirmed stable fuel volatility across temperature ranges, ensuring efficient evaporation and ignition under varying load conditions.
Cold behaviour: The fuel demonstrated excellent performance in low temperatures, avoiding filter blockage or crystallisation. This makes it well suited to variable climates and reduces the need for additional maintenance precautions.
Cetane number: Indicative of ignition quality under compression. The high cetane value contributed to smoother starts, fewer emissions on ignition, and stable engine operation throughout usage.
Water and solid content: Low levels were recorded, within safe limits, reducing the risk of corrosion, wear, and system contamination—key to maintaining genset durability.
Overall, the results confirm that HVO complies with all regulatory and technical requirements for safe diesel engine operation. Most importantly, it offers seamless integration with existing systems, enabling immediate adoption in projects where full electrification is not yet feasible from a technical or economic standpoint. This positions HVO as a realistic and effective solution for decarbonisation without sacrificing performance or reliability.
Conclusión
Real-world testing and laboratory analysis confirm that HVO is a high-quality, dependable fuel solution—ready to meet the challenges of the energy transition. Its adoption supports a dual goal: reducing the carbon footprint of distributed generation systems while maintaining the security and effectiveness expected in critical infrastructure.
HVO is a second-generation biofuel produced from organic waste such as used cooking oils and animal fats.
Genesal Energy’s use of HVO is not a symbolic gesture but a strategic commitment combining technological innovation, environmental responsibility and technical excellence. Every step forward is backed by data, independent validation, and a clear focus on delivering reliable, sustainable energy solutions.
Looking ahead, the company will continue to explore and validate emerging technologies that enable clients to decarbonise their operations with confidence—because sustainability is not something to declare, but something to prove.
