RENEWABLE ENERGY - THE BET ON THE ENERGY TRANSITION STARTS HERE!

Renewable energies have progressed positively over the last 15 years, thanks to technological evolution, the reduction of production costs, and government interest in sustainability. Thus, investment in renewable energies has become an interesting opportunity.

Renewable energies are capable of regenerating themselves in a natural and sustainable way, such as solar, hydro, wind, and geothermal energy. With a society increasingly concerned with environmental issues - from climate change to air pollution; the production of renewable energies has seen an increase in its demand and importance.

• Renewable energies are a way to reduce the ecological footprint compared to traditional energy sources.

• Brands increasingly prefer renewable energies as a branding strategy – differentiation in the eyes of consumers, who are increasingly engaged and interested in environmental issues.

• Government entities choose to encourage renewable energy projects as a less polluting alternative to fossil fuels.

The growing demand for renewable energies is also due to the advantages they bring over fossil energies:

• Respect for the Environment: They do not generate greenhouse gases or other polluting emissions.

• They Are Unlimited: They are obtained from inexhaustible natural resources, making it possible to rely on them permanently.

• They Are Safer: They do not emit harmful gases for living beings.

• They Offer Greater Flexibility: They can be installed anywhere: boats, trailers, homes, buildings.

• They Do Not Generate Difficult-to-Treat Waste: They are easy to dismantle and it is not necessary to protect their waste.

• They Favor Energy Independence: They develop the economy of the region where applied, promoting its autonomy.

• They Promote Employment: They create five times more jobs than conventional energies.

Green Ammonia: Renewable Energy with Results!

Green ammonia is produced from green hydrogen, a fuel obtained through renewable sources in a process called electrolysis. Generally, green ammonia is made from three raw materials: water, air, and renewable energy.

Ammonia is green because it is produced from completely clean energy sources. It is a renewable energy, a sustainable alternative and emission-free, with various applications in the industry and other sectors.

It is, therefore, unlike the traditional one, highly sustainable and versatile, and can be applied, for example, in the following cases:

• Clean Fuel: it can be used as fuel in internal combustion engines and fuel cells, providing a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.

• Energy Storage: a promising option for storing surplus energy from renewable sources, such as solar and wind energy.

• Sustainable Industries: The chemical industry can use green ammonia as a raw material, thereby reducing the carbon emissions associated with the production of inputs.

The great advantage of green ammonia is that it can be used as an energy vector and also as an energy storage medium.
