Join us on our mission to create a positive impact and drive the transition towards a sustainable energy landscape.
Renewable energy - why do we need it?
Traditionally, we have relied on fossil fuels such as coal and gas to provide our energy. Fossil fuels are a finite resource and, as such, could run out one day. That’s why we are looking to alternative sources to provide our power and heat needs. Furthermore, the European Government has passed legislation which requires us to meet specific renewable energy targets. As a country, the UK has signed up to generating 20% of our energy from renewable sources by 2020.
What are the different types of renewable energy?
One of the differing aspects to renewable generation is that is can be achieved on a micro level (solar PV panels on houses) and macro scale (tidal lagoons in the sea). We can generate energy using solar, hydro, wind, marine and geothermal sources or any combination of these.
What is renewable energy?
Renewable energy comes from a source that is not depleted when used, such as wind, hydro or solar power.
“There is an urgent need to stop subsidizing the fossil fuel industry, dramatically reduce wasted energy, and significantly shift our power supplies from oil, coal, and natural gas to wind, solar, geothermal, and other renewable energy sources.”
