Renewable energy
We guarantee savings on green energy purchases
How can the processing industry benefit from renewable energy sources that will reduce emissions in line with the requirements of EU climate policies, while generating savings? This is what Vice President of the Management Board of Reo.pl, Tomasz Morawski, discussed in an interview with the Fermentation and Fruit and Vegetable Industry.
The Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) – what is it about, and what is its significance? Here's an explanation!
The European Union continuously seeks ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. One of the methods is to increase the share of bio-components in fuels used in sectors like transportation. This approach aims to improve air quality. To achieve this, the content of a directive called RED II was developed. What exactly does RED II aim to change, and can Poland successfully implement it?
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?
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!
My Current 6.0 program - rules and all additional information
The sixth edition of the My Current program is about to start! The government's “My Current 6.0” program is the latest edition of the popular support for people investing in renewable energy sources. The new edition brings changes and expansions to further encourage Poles to use photovoltaics and other green energy technologies.
What is green hydrogen and how is it created?
The European Union's climate protection policy over the past years has become one of the key elements around whose development the Community is focused. One of the strategies is to obtain so-called green hydrogen through Renewable Energy Sources (RES). Is this really an effective way to meet energy demand? What is green hydrogen and how is it created?
