Photos show 'diesel generators' at the COP26 climate change conference.
A tweet suggested that photos show partially obscured diesel-powered generators at COP26, the U.N's global summit on climate change in Glasgow, Scotland. It said: 'Are these diesel generators at #COP26 ? They seem to be behind black screens.' Photos with the tweet show equipment bearing the logo of Aggreko, a Glasgow-based energy company. Aggreko told PolitiFact that the photo shows units that appear to be at the conference, but they are not diesel generators. They are electric air handlers, chillers and heaters. The company said it also is providing the conference with generators powered by fossil-free hydrotreated vegetable oil, a form of biodiesel that is much less polluting than petroleum-based diesel fuel. After we began work on this fact-check, the COP26 Twitter account replied to the tweet and disputed the claim. We rate the tweet False.
