The numbers speak for themselves

Electricity production is our single greatest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions – amounting to 31% of total manmade emissions according to the IPCC.

The DECC estimates that 1 KWh drawn off the UK grid saves 542 grams of emissions, while the EPA sets the US figure at 689 grams. What does it take to consume 1 KWh? Not much. It’s the equivalent of a 100 W light bulb or single PC in use for just 10 hours. In other words, based on an estimated annual consumption of 810 KWh for an average PC in a normal working environment, over half a ton of greenhouse gas is emitted into the atmosphere!

The devastating effects of greenhouse gas

Greenhouse gasses play a major role in global warming. They contribute to rising sea levels, cause extreme draughts and storms, devastate our ecosystem and endanger animals, fresh water and food supplies.

Saving electricity means saving the environment

While cleaner power-generating technologies such as solar energy, photo-voltaic or hydro power, are slowly gaining ground, “dirty” coal and gas energy sources still dominate by a wide margin. Hence today, saving electricity is still the most effective way to cut carbon emissions, and green network solutions enable businesses to go green!
