Sustainability in the Rental Industry

SUMMARY

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the equipment rental industry, focusing on battery energy storage systems and sustainability. Hosts Tim Doling and Kevin Sturmer have been traveling to multiple countries and conferences and share their experiences. From the advanced functionality and controls of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the UK, to increased BESS adoption in the US, to the education and awareness process in Canada. With the help of POWR2’s Luis Corona, we interview vendors at the American Rental Association Show, focusing on those incorporating sustainable technology into their rental offerings. We also caught up with Patrick Flannery, Editor of the Canadian Rental Service magazine, about the trends and challenges in the Canadian rental industry, the reemergence of independent rental stores, and briefly touch on regulations and the concept of embodied carbon in construction projects. The hosts provide insights on integrating battery energy storage into rental fleets and identifying customers who would benefit from these systems in temporary power applications.
