Aggreko system gives above-par results

9 February 2022

Aggreko put in place a number of eco-friendly initiatives to enable the organisers of the recent Slync.io Dubai Desert Classic golf tournament demonstrate an environmentally responsible approach to the event.

Held at the end of January at Emirates Golf Club, large areas of the event were powered by a mix of 20% locally sourced biofuel and 80% solar power, and included a 100m solar panel on the 11th hole.  The measures are said to have achieved a reduction in CO2 emissions of more than eight times compared to conventional methods.

Powered was provided in this way for the Players’ Lounge, the Main Hospitality Pavilion, 15th Green Hospitality, the TopGolf Deck, European Tour offices, the Village Area, Merchandise Tent, on-course catering areas and spectator wash rooms.

Other initiatives included a switch to digital ticketing to save paper, a campaign to encourage the use of public transport by spectators, and the replacement of on-course plastic bottles with refillable options.
