> The microgrid system is currently fuelled by natural gas but it is capable of using more sustainable fuel sources such as biomethane and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO).

So it runs on 100% fossil fuels, dunno if that can count as achievement? Biogas will remain way too expensive, and vegetable oil compares unfavorably with solar when it comes to land use.
