Power Outage – What to Do and How to Prepare?
A true blackout happens very rarely, but sometimes even a few hours of power interruption can significantly complicate life. This is especially true for businesses whose smooth operation depends on access to electricity, such as manufacturing plants, banks, or gas stations. When can we talk about a power outage and how can we prepare for it?
Biogas Plants – The Future of Renewable Energy? Benefits or Threats to the Environment?
In the search for energy independence, most people initially look to photovoltaics. Indeed, solar energy is a good example of renewable energy, but it is certainly not the only one. Biogas plants, which use organic waste to produce electricity, heat water, and, after purification, serve as fuel for CNG engines, are gaining gradual popularity. How do biogas plants work, and is investing in them worthwhile?
How to keep waste records? Practical tips and obligations
Since 2018, the Ministry of Climate – previously the Ministry of Environment – has maintained an electronic BDO register, a database on products, packaging, and waste management. If your company is involved in the production, use, or disposal of waste in any way, you are likely required to register in the BDO. What should you know about this register?
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.
How does a smart energy grid work?
Key Information The power grid, developed at the end of the 19th century, had one primary goal: to generate enough electricity to meet the needs of end users—businesses and households. However, as demand for electricity increases, traditional centralized supply systems are proving insufficient. What is the concept behind a smart energy grid, and can your company become part of it?
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.
What is Reactive Power Compensation? Explained!
In today’s economic reality, every kilowatt-hour counts — both for businesses and households. Reactive power, although not immediately visible, can present a significant challenge to the efficiency of power systems. How can reactive power compensation help? Why is it worth addressing? And what benefits can it bring to energy management?
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?
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).
