Powering Green Energy projects with Smart Solutions
Project Overview
In 2025, a major player in the civil engineering and infrastructure industry started construction on a wind farm project near St Lawrence in Central Queensland—a remote, off-grid site requiring a reliable and sustainable fuel supply for service vehicles.
With no existing infrastructure and a strong focus on environmental performance, the company turned to Fuelfix for a smarter turnkey solution.
Leveraging a history of successful collaboration, Fuelfix delivered a 30FF Solar Tank system—a fully integrated, low-maintenance, and greener hydrocarbons storage solution.
Like in many civil construction projects, the site presented several logistical and environmental challenges:
- no existing fuel infrastructure,
- remote location 20 km south of St Lawrence with no access to mains power,
- need for a portable secure fuel storage system with sufficient capacity to ensure continuous operations even during emergency situations such as extreme weather events that could disrupt fuel supply chains,
- requirement for real-time fuel tracking and traceability,
- minimal downtime or maintenance requirement.
Our client needed a solution that could operate independently, reduce environmental impact, and streamline fuel management for multiple service vehicles.
Fuelfix deployed its innovative 30FF Self-Bunded Solar Tank, equipped with:
- 3kW roof-mounted solar array
- 5kW battery storage
- LV/HV dispensing system
- Fuel Management System (FMS) and Automatic Tank Gauging (ATG)
This solar-powered system eliminates the need for diesel generators, offering a completely energy-independent and low maintenance solution. Designed as a turnkey solution, the system was commissioned within a day and operational immediately, streamlining deployment for remote and off-grid environments.
Over 12 months, our Go-Greener solution will enable the client to *save:
- 6,745L of fuel
- $17,682 of fuel and maintenance costs
- Cut their operational CO2 emissions by 18 tonnes
- Significantly decrease operational downtime
*Based on the assumption that a 10kVA diesel generator operates continuously at low load with fuel cost of 1.50 AUD per litre, and a service cost of 500 AUD every 500 hours of operation.
The 30FF Solar Tank has delivered significant benefits for the civil engineering company:
- Zero emissions and no fuel costs from generator use
- Reduced operational downtime and servicing requirements
- Real-time fuel tracking and control via FMS
- A tangible contribution to the project’s renewable energy and sustainability goals
By replacing a traditional 10kVA diesel generator, the system is expected to deliver substantial fuel and CO2 savings over the project’s duration.
Fuelfix’s solar-powered solution is not only helping the company meet its environmental targets but also setting a new benchmark for off-grid fuel infrastructure in Australia’s civil and renewable sectors.
