Our Carbon Reductions
 Help us to stop this abuse of our Planet. © Sustainable Living Projects. The burning of fossil fuels - such as coal for electricity production
and gas for water heating - releases large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere,
thus contributing to this phenomenon and ruining the environment.
By using renewable energy sources such a Solar Thermal, Solar PV, Wind,
Hydro and Geothermal, you can rely on fossil fuels less, and directly reduce
CO2 emissions. On average, for every 1kWh of energy produced by a coal power
station, 1kg (2.2pound) of CO2 is produced. Burning natural gas for electricity
production or water heating produces about 450grams of CO2 for every kWh of
energy produced.
In the average household, water heating accounts for around 30% of CO2
emissions. By installing a solar water heater, which can provide between 50-70%
of your hot water heating energy needs, you can reduce your total CO2 emissions
by more than 20%. |
