From Diesel to Data: Greener Energy in Every Neighborhood

In FY25, EnerSys Energy Systems played a pivotal role in modernizing telecommunications infrastructure by replacing traditional diesel generators with advanced lithium battery solutions—cutting emissions in neighborhoods across multiple regions.

Pilot programs with leading telecommunications providers have proven the value of our 48V lithium systems, which offer longer runtime, greater battery life, and dramatically reduced reliance on fossil fuels. These systems also reduce operating costs by minimizing the need for routine generator maintenance.

At the same time, our 72-hour lithium backup solution has continued to gain momentum, meeting stringent regulatory requirements and replacing diesel generators with cleaner, more resilient power across California. As top communications brands scale adoption, EnerSys is delivering proven solutions that advance sustainability, reliability, and cost-efficiency in critical network infrastructure.

Zero-emissions forklifts save money and reduce emissions

Our batteries make electric forklifts more affordable to operate than fossil fuel alternatives. Replacing a diesel or propane forklift with an electric one is also estimated to reduce more than 50% of the emissions (even with electricity fueled by coal).

Added to the savings, some companies can even get paid to switch to electric forklifts. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) issues Low Carbon Fuel Standard credits for the use of electric forklifts. Based on calculations provided by CARB, a large fleet with 20+ forklifts could receive an estimated $100k in credits per year or more!

Based on initial estimates from our 2023 Scope 1, 2, & 3 emissions inventory, the avoided emissions (i.e., the net benefit to the climate) associated with the use of our batteries in electric forklifts (replacing diesel and propane forklifts) on average range between five to ten times the emissions from mining, manufacturing and shipping our batteries, depending on battery model and how clean the electric grid is where the forklifts are used. In some locations, the avoided emissions from using EnerSys batteries reach a 20x net benefit.
