Local Renewable Energy Benefits – Reducing Carbon Footprints

At present, local governments are trying multiple ways to reduce the carbon footprints by directly generating or purchasing electricity from renewable and clean sources. Among all the possible options, the most common renewable power technologies to follow are Wind, Solar like solar thermal and photovoltaic, Biogas like wastewater treatment or landfill gases, and more.

Even under the renewable wagon, you have geothermal, biomass, emerging technologies like tidal and wave power, and even lower impact hydro-electricity.

An example to set:

Right now, the local Indian governments are leading a major example by generating energy on-site. They are furthermore purchasing green power or renewable energy.

• With a proper combination of renewable energy, it becomes easier to match the goals of local governments.
• These are mostly set for some regions, where the quality and availability rate of renewable resources vary.

Some more options to follow under renewable energy:

There are some options that you need to follow under the renewable energy section. Getting knowledge about these sectors will gladly work out in your favor. Some of those are listed below for your reference.

• Generating the renewable energy on the site – Here, with the help of a system or device, located where the power is used, you are able to generate renewable energy on-site. Some examples under this platform are geothermal heat pumps, PV panels on state buildings, biomass-fueled heat and power, and more.
• Procuring renewable energy – Thanks to the electric utility, now you get to procure renewable energy. It follows the green pricing or green marketing program. Here, the buyers will come to purchase a smaller premium after exchanging electricity, as generated from some of the green power resources.
• Procuring green power – With the help of renewable energy certificates, you get the chance to purchase green power. These are also known as tradable renewable certificates, green tags, or green energy certificates. It helps in representing technology and some environmental electricity attributes as procured from renewable resources.

Why is there a growing hype for renewable energy these days?

Economic and environmental benefits are highly associated with renewable energy. The growing hype is here to stay and will take an all-new shape within a few years as well.

• It helps to create economic development and presents some jobs in areas like manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and more.
• Renewable projects will help diversify the energy supply.
• It is one scientifically proven way to reduce the level of dependency on imported fuels.
• You can also get to generate energy that will produce no greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. It is one way to reduce any form of air pollution.

Adding on-site renewable energy:

On-site power generation will provide local governments with direct access to renewable energy. Apart from the benefits mentioned, these projects will offer a hedge against financial risks. It is one way to improve power quality and supply reliability. Want to learn more about some renewable projects? Alfainfraprop is here for you.
