Energy-efficient building – what should it be characterized by?
The use of a building is always associated with energy consumption required to maintain thermal comfort, heat water, provide lighting, and power other devices. The higher the demand for this energy, the higher the costs of operating the building, and the greater its impact on the environment. To reduce these costs and impact, more and more investors are opting to build energy-efficient buildings. What are the requirements for an energy-efficient building?
What do you need to know about the RED III directive?
On October 18, the Directive of the European Parliament and Council (EU) 2023/2413 was adopted, amending Directive (EU) 2018/2001, Regulation (EU) 2018/1999, and Directive 98/70/EC regarding the promotion of energy from renewable sources, and repealing Council Directive (EU) 2015/652, also known as the RED III Directive. This marks another step in the extensive plans of EU legislators aimed at achieving energy transformation in member states while respecting environmental considerations. What exactly does RED III change, and how can one prepare for it?
Fit for 55 package - what is this climate package all about?
The Fit for 55 package is an ambitious initiative by the European Union aimed at combating climate change and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. It includes a range of regulations and actions intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. The new regulations will affect many sectors of the economy, including energy, transportation, and construction, forcing member states to implement more sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions. What changes await us in the coming years, and what challenges will arise from achieving these goals?
Annual energy consumption it Poland. What are the trends?
Energy is an inseparable part of our daily lives, and analyzing its consumption is one of the key issues for the economy, politics, and the environment. Poland, as a country undergoing dynamic development, faces numerous challenges related to growing energy demand and the ongoing energy transition.
The Role of PPA Agreements in Achieving ESG Goals
In the evolving and transitioning energy market, PPA/CPPA agreements, or Corporate Power Purchase Agreements, are rapidly gaining importance. This growing interest is hardly surprising, as for many companies, these agreements serve as key evidence that the business is committed to environmental protection, supporting decarbonization, fostering the development of renewable energy sources, and thereby genuinely implementing ESG strategy principles. In the context of global trends and the increasing demand for clean energy, interest in such agreements is rising, particularly among companies where ESG is becoming an integral part of a long-term and authentic business strategy.
Offshore wind farm - how do they work? Poland and world
The energy transition of individual countries - including Poland - involves the search for renewable energy sources. In addition to the well-known photovoltaics using solar energy or wind farms exploiting wind power, offshore wind turbines are playing an increasingly important role in this area. How do these devices work and what does their future look like?
Prosumer – who is it and what is their role in the world of renewable energy?
The operation of modern power systems, known as smart grids, no longer relies solely on electricity generation by a few large, state-owned providers. Prosumers are playing an increasingly important role in these systems. Who is a prosumer, and why is their role in the world of renewable energy so crucial?
Environmental Management in the Company – What Does It Involve?
For many entities, implementing an Environmental Management System is now a business necessity driven by modern corporate approaches to environmental protection. Such a system, firstly, significantly improves the management of the entity in this regard and generates real savings; secondly, it responds to legislative requirements related to sustainable business development (such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, CSRD).
What is the CSRD Directive?
In recent years, ESG has become one of the top five global business trends. In the European Union, the ability to conduct business while adhering to sustainable development principles is gaining rapid importance. For some, it’s an additional obligation and immense stress; for others, it presents opportunities linked to economic stimulation. Nevertheless, all entities will eventually have to take action in this area and, more importantly, report the steps they have taken. The CSRD Directive will facilitate this process, providing a standardized requirement for reporting on implemented and ongoing ESG activities. Learn more about it below!
The Energy Supply Chain – How Does It Work?
The energy supply chain is an extensive and fairly complex process. It begins with the extraction and processing of raw materials. Then, energy is generated, distributed, and delivered to end users. The process of energy transformation, along with the continuously growing demand for power, requires a solid understanding of supply chain mechanisms.
