There is always the decision to make regarding what would be best for your company, one of the things to consider is renewable energy resources, and this term describes a choice of different energy resources that does not have a limited supply. On the other hand, energy sources such as oil, coal and gas are classified as non-renewal resources and already have a limited supply and are expected to run out in the foreseeable future.

So what is the best option, with the need to be conscious of climate change, reducing your carbon footprint, and definitely controlling your CO2 emissions it’s a good idea to look into alternative energy resources. Many of the existing energy providers are already switching a portion of their energy supply to green energy.

The different types of renewal energy resource are: wind power, hydropower, solar power, geothermal power and biomass energy. Let’s look at these different resources:

Wind power - this means that by using the wind one can harness the power to provide electricity. The UK is more than favourable in this direction compared to Europe as they have the largest resources of wind power in the whole of Europe and the future is earmarked for more wind farms.

Hydropower – using water to generate electricity as well as to run machinery. 40% of UK’s renewable energy is comes from this resource.

Solar Power – solar power is using the sun to harness energy via solar panels, this is use to provide electricity and also heat water. It is now widely used both domestic and in business environments.

Geothermal power – uses the earth’s natural heat, this is used to heat or cool a building and also provide hot water

Biomass fuel – using plant and animal waste or materials, by burning plant and animal waste material electricity is generated.
