Introduction to Renewable Energy
From windmill farms to solar powered everything. Evidence of a pronounced green wave of renewable energy is on the horizon in our Cornish waters, and the breaks are only getting cleaner. With the pandemic and politics consuming our thoughts, it’s no wonder the world has overlooked an unquestionable comforting prospect of a green future.
What is renewable energy?
Renewable energy is generated from sources that naturally replenish themselves and never run out. Renewable energy doesn’t emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. Clean energy has so many more benefits to just being “green”. Choosing renewable energy for your home/business in Cornwall not only means that you will reduce your carbon footprint. But, you may also save money on your energy bills.
In this modern-day world, lowering carbon emissions is becoming increasingly popular throughout the globe, with many countries looking to set the example, and taking on various environmentally friendly challengers.
The UK government alone has placed a legally bound pledge of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by the year 2050.
Overall, it is without doubt that soon renewable energy will be cheaper than that produced from fossil fuels and will serve as a great economic balancer.
Stats and Facts
The latest figures recorded indicate that electricity generated by renewables in the UK is sitting at 47%. In order to reach their goal of net-zero, the UK will need to source 75% from renewable energy by 2030.
In recent years, there has also been a decreasing demand for coal and its use in electricity generation. Coal production is down by 16%, and importation of the fossil fuel is down by 33%. Apart from this, the UK is also seeing a need for gas shrinking.
Under plans announced by the government, the UK similarly plans to end the selling of petrol and diesel fueled cars by 2030. Moreover, the number of hybrid and electric vehicles purchased has increased immensely.
With individuals throughout the UK spending 90% of their time indoors. We additionally see heating being one on the leading contributors of carbon emissions. As a result, the UK government has introduced a few schemes to encourage many homeowners and businesses to change their source of energy to renewable.
Why is renewable energy significant for a better future?
The impact fossil fuels have on our planet is a lot greater than many could ever imagine. The world is heading towards a crisis, and changes need to be made rapidly. Changing to the use of renewable energy to lower our carbon emissions plays a large part in saving our planet, and repairing the damage already done.
Needless to say, with such a rapid growth rate just in the UK, various global emission targets and with fossil fuels inevitably being phased out. The transformation to a greener future is definitely underway.
