Energy Management

All forms of energy consumption, whether it be light bulbs or waste disposal, contribute to our CO₂ emissions, one of the main factors in global warming. However, different fuel types produce different levels of CO₂ meaning there are actions and decisions your business can make to ensure you operate in the most energy efficient way.

Reduce CO₂

Use energy saving light-bulbs and devices
Use energy efficient appliances
Maintain all machinery routinely to ensure maximum efficiency
Opt for greener fuel and/or green tariffs
Use alternative environmentally friendly methods of transport
Educate staff and clients to be more economical by turning off unwanted lights, appliances, heating and air-conditioning

RENEWABLE ENERGY

There are ways by which your business can reduce its negative impact on the environment, the most valuable being through investing in sustainable technology. Sustainable technologies such as solar, wind, hydro and bio-mass, all draw upon the natural energies and resources of the planet and, most importantly, are renewable. By investing in these technologies or purchasing fuel from a renewable source, you cannot only help conserve fossil fuel but also reduce your business' greenhouse gas emissions.

Use Renewable Energy

Use solar panels to redirect the energy produced by the sun to heat water and generate electricity
Use generators and pumps to convert the force of wind into a renewable energy source
Harness the power of moving water to provide electricity; hydropower offers an alternative renewable energy source in areas where solar power is less reliable
Use biogas made from biodegradable waste such as food and sewage
Use biomass briquettes made from waste such as wastepaper, sawdust, biogas slurry, agricultural and forest residue, and animal waste
