According to a new study from Cranfield University, more than 50 per cent of the UK’s renewable domestic and commercial energy could come from waste by the year 2020.
The study, undertaken by the university’s Centre for Resource Management Efficiency, highlighted the unsustainable nature of landfill sites as a means of waste disposal. By addressing this concern along with the need to meet strict targets for renewable energy generation over the next ten years, it may be possible to tackle two problems at once.
Energy from waste is one of the green energy solutions that is less well known. For business energy customers concerned about reducing their carbon footprint, wind and tidal generation are among the more popular options.
These days, small business owners are all too aware of the onus to reduce carbon emissions. However, for many, there is a perceived conflict of interest with reducing business energy costs.
