With sustainability now a necessity, businesses seek cleaner, more responsible power solutions. MEMS Power Generation meets this demand head-on with its Cleaner Options range of Stage V generators. These advanced units, designed to meet the UK and EU’s strictest emission standards, represent the latest in low-emission power technology.
In this guide, you’ll learn how MEMS reduces environmental impact, ensures compliance with regulations, and supports businesses in achieving sustainability goals.
What Are Stage 5 Generators and Why Are They Important for Low-Emission Power?
Stage 5 generators set the latest emission standards for engines in the UK and EU, thereby helping your business reduce its environmental footprint. Furthermore, these generators utilise advanced technologies, including Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) that trap harmful particulates and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems that chemically reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. Consequently, they significantly cut pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and carbon monoxide (CO). Designed to meet stringent regulations, Stage 5 generators play a pivotal role in minimising the carbon footprint of temporary power generation and support global sustainability efforts.
Benefits of Stage 5 Generators for Sustainable Power Solutions
-
Lower Environmental Impact:
By significantly lowering emissions, Stage 5 generators play a crucial role in helping industries meet their environmental responsibilities and sustainability goals. This particularly benefits healthcare, data centres, and financial services, where reliability and compliance with environmental standards are paramount.
-
Compliance with Regulations:
Using Stage 5 compliant generators means staying ahead of regulatory challenges. Industries that are proactive in adopting these technologies will find it easier to comply with future environmental regulations, avoiding potential fines and penalties. Stage 5 Generators Low Emission Power aligns with modern environmental standards and is being adopted in towns and cities in low-emission zones.

Enhanced Public Perception:
Businesses using low-emission generators strengthen their brand image and customer trust by visibly committing to environmental stewardship. With growing public awareness, businesses that adopt low-emission generators build stronger reputations. For instance, healthcare providers demonstrate their commitment to cleaner air and sustainability, enhancing patient trust. Likewise, data centres and financial institutions improve their public image by investing in planet-friendly power solutions, resonating with customers, clients, and investors. Ultimately, this proactive sustainability approach bolsters public perception and credibility, showing genuine care for the communities they serve.
-
Fuel Flexibility:
Additionally, MEMS Stage 5 generators can also operate on alternative fuels like Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), offering more sustainable fuel options without sacrificing performance. HVO is a sustainable biofuel derived from renewable sources like vegetable oil waste, making it an eco-friendly option with significantly lower lifecycle emissions compared to fossil fuels. When used in Stage V generators, HVO can further reduce carbon dioxide emissions, enabling businesses to take an additional step toward their sustainability goals.
How Stage 5 Generators Work
Stage 5 generators achieve low emissions through a combination of advanced technologies, each playing a crucial role in controlling pollutants.
Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) capture and trap particulate matter (PM), preventing these harmful particles from being released into the atmosphere.
Additionally, Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems use a urea-based fluid (AdBlue) to convert nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are far less harmful to the environment. This chemical reaction occurs within a special catalytic chamber and is highly effective in reducing NOx emissions, making Stage 5 generators a leading choice for environmentally conscious industries.
Together, these technologies allow Stage 5 generators to meet the strictest standards without compromising power output, essential for operations requiring reliable and robust power.

Stage V Generator FAQs
What sizes of Stage 5 generators are available from MEMS?
MEMS offers a range of Stage 5 generators with power outputs suitable for various needs, from 40kVA to 1320kVA. The MEMS Stage 5 generators can be paralleled in multi-set configurations to achieve greater power outputs when required, providing flexibility for projects with varying power demands.

Can Stage 5 generators operate on HVO fuel?
Yes, Stage 5 generators can run on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a renewable, sustainable biofuel made from plant oils and animal fats. HVO burns cleaner than conventional diesel, further reducing the generator's overall carbon emissions and enhancing its environmental performance. By using HVO, businesses can reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to cleaner operations. For more details on HVO fuel, click here.
Can a Stage 5 generator work with a Battery Energy Storage (BES) system?
Yes, MEMS Stage 5 generators can be paired with MEMS Battery Energy Storage (BES) systems for improved efficiency and flexibility. Combining a generator with a MEMS BES, reduces fuel consumption and allows for quieter, low-emission operation, especially during low-load periods. This setup is ideal for sites seeking sustainable and efficient energy solutions. To learn more about Battery Energy Storage options, visit MEMS Battery Energy Storage solutions.
How is Stage 5 different from the previous Stage IIIA standard?
Stage 5 standards are a substantial update from Stage IIIA, with more stringent limits on pollutants like nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). Stage 5 also mandates the use of technologies such as Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) and improved catalytic systems, which weren’t required under Stage IIIA. These enhancements result in cleaner exhaust emissions and a more significant reduction in environmental impact.
What does AdBlue do in a Stage 5 generator?
AdBlue is a fluid used in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system of Stage 5 generators to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. When AdBlue is injected into the exhaust system, it reacts with NOx to produce harmless nitrogen and water vapor, effectively lowering pollution levels. This makes AdBlue essential for meeting stringent Stage 5 emission standards.
