We are at a time when humanity must choose what type of energy to use en masse to save the planet; We have two options:
The renewable or clean energy that is obtained from natural sources such as wind or water, among others; and the non-renewable that comes from nuclear or fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas or coal.
The latter have been the protagonists of recent history with industrialization, they are exhaustible and have been shown to generate pollution in the environment. On the other hand, renewables, as they are obtained from natural sources, are inexhaustible provided that we protect the resources from which they come, e.g. water.
In comparison, choosing one type or another is not too complicated: renewable energies are presented as the great solution to earth’s future since they are generated with infinite materials that are naturally found and are easily regenerated.
In addition, producing them is much less polluting than non-renewable ones, although, due to their low popularity, they are still more expensive to originate and require large-scale facilities that can affect natural ecosystems if not operated correctly.
In the same way, this type of energy works better in certain climates or times of the day, as in the case of solar energy, which would be a disadvantage for its mass generation.
Even so, renewable energies, in addition to being the clean and inexhaustible option, are indigenous, they do not leave waste and their carbon footprint is reduced; While the non-renewable options, polluting and limited, are not very sustainable in the use of technologies in addition to having complicated production processes that involve many external factors.
For this reason, in our company we work on projects where renewable energy and the energy transition take the lead, and where the communities involved are part of each process as part of our commitment to sustainability.
For this reason, on October 21 we celebrate energy-saving day because we believe in its power to continue transforming the world.
