As part of the move towards Australia’s improved contribution to a reduction in greenhouse gases and an effort to source more of our domestic energy supply from renewable elements, new laws in that last week have been passed to ensure that 20 per cent of electricity is generated by the renewable contingent by 2020.
The government has introduced a scheme, under a national Renewable Energy Target (RET), which has passed through parliament unabated by either leader or opposition, as Australians stand united in the bid for sustainability.
Here at Renewable Air Energies, we have been in preparation for the inevitable shift towards clean energy supplies for over a decade.
In response to the ever growing demand in renewable and alternative energy, we have developed a product that will support this latest move towards energy independence and help to future proof our energy demands whilst also reducing the cost of energy bills – arguably the best solution for everyone!
Your generation may have been on that made it through the wild 60’s and 70’s, moving with the popularly accounted for mantra of ‘love and peace’ and supporting the idea of a holistic approach to energy dependency and production.
Or perhaps you are one of the younger generations whose development into adulthood through the 80’s and 90’s saw a radical shift in the notion of expenditure in almost every walk of life, and subsequently you have witnessed the increasing awareness and public disclosure of global warming effects in the news and other media sources.
Today, the notion of global warming as an accepted phenomenon has not only emphasised the need for a ‘greener, more sustainable and renewable’ approach to our energy supply and production, but has also led to a more inherent desire in the youngest generations, to live in a world in which energy supply and demand are made in a way that is in conjunction with these issues.
At Renewable Air Energies, we have developed a new technology, in response to this growing need and demand, and through our renewable air energies system, we can effectively serve to lower energy bills and reduce the environmental impact on the wider global community.
In order to set the standard, it is important that we are seen to be implementing new technologies that are not only clean, but also a viable attempt at energy security and cost efficiency for the long term future.
And with renewable energy solutions proving to be not only good for the environment, but also serving to cut costs in fuel bills, it seems to make sense that they form a fundamental part of energy technology for the future, both here and abroad.
In terms of the renewable energy effort made in Australia, industry officials and analysts state that most of the money spent in the coming attempts to meet 2020 targets will come from the investment in wind technologies.
A government report says total energy consumption is expected to rise 19 percent between 2009/10 and 2019/20 and by 40 percent over the next two decades, driven largely by manufacturing, mining, transport and a rising population.
By embracing and endorsing new technologies, like those developed by Australian companies such as Renewable Air Energies, we can stand assured in our position on contributing to the future of climate change, and ultimately strengthen our position as leaders in the global community, with a conscience that allows us to be proud of our countries efforts.
It is time that Australia took a positive and serious approach to the efforts made in reducing carbon emissions, if we are to be taken seriously in our argument against the over-use of fossil fuels in developing countries.
Essentially the point is being made that “If already developed countries didn’t worry about draining resources, why should up and coming economies have to make allowances now?”
But the U.S and other developed nations including those in Europe and Australia remain set to maintain efforts in renewable energy development.
The Goal for 2020 sees targets from all countries being set, at reducing the amount of carbon emissions being emitted into the atmosphere.
And it is important that countries like Australia are seen to pave the way in making renewable energy a permanent feature of the future.
If we are to expect countries like India to tow the line, then our own efforts need to be maintained in showing that clean energy solutions are indeed viable and can act to effectively future proof our energy demands.
Renewable Air Energies is a company that is doing just that, and with its development of a clean energy product, that effectively harnesses the power emitted by exhaust air from already implemented air conditioning units, it is set to revolutionise the way in which our energy demands are met.
With increasing pressure being placed on global economies to implement sustainable forms of energy in their developments for the future, the argument over the use of fossil fuels intensifies.
With countries like India and China both experiencing rapid growth in their industrial development, the level of carbon emissions continues to rise at an almost uncontrollable rate and international pressure on those countries to implement more sustainable or ‘renewable energy solutions’ mounts.
China has embraced the development of green energy resources with its wind market power supply doubling in each of the last four years.
At present, India’s fuel consumption relies in a large part on the use of coal – which contributes to 40% of its greenhouse gas emissions. However, there is recognition by the Indian Government that a renewable energy source needs to be found in order for India to grow in a sustainable way.
The Joint Secretary of India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Gauri Singh, stated in July of this year, in meetings with the U.S Secretary of State, that “India is growing faster than anyone can imagine. Renewable energy will have to supplement conventional power supply… Our priority is to achieve energy security and self-reliance.”
And efforts are being made – Wind and Biomass make up a total of 3% of India’s energy supply.
Comparatively, statistics from Reuters News reports state that ‘More than 80 percent of Australia’s electricity is generated using black and brown coal, with a further 12 percent from natural gas. Less than 7 percent comes from renewable sources’.
The argument made by many from the Indian contingent is that, while developed countries in Europe and America can sit comfortably in their position as nations which have used and abused natural fossil fuel resources in abundance, with little thought for the consequences, until now, it is unrealistic and unfair to implement strategies now, to countries wishing to catch up in the development race.
The wind energy market indicates that the current leaders in global wind energy production consist of the usual members - Germany, Spain, Italy, France and the UK, with China forefronting the campaign for expansion and America still dominating.
Included in the list of fastest-growing wind economies, according to the Global Wind Energy Council, are Hungary, Norway, Brazil, Portugal and Turkey.
So where does Australia fit into the equation?
Current Australian wind power accounts for less than 1% of the total energy supply in this country, with relatively few sites developed for maximisation of wind power generation at present.
However, Renewable Air Energies is a company that is flying the flag for making wind energy a top contender in the Australian contingent for global green energy production.
By embracing the need to develop sustainable energy from a renewable source, the Renewable Air Energies product stands to gain a huge degree of momentum in the near future, with an ever increasing need for both individual and combined efforts needed to future proof our energy demands.
The traditional method of converting wind energy into electricity is a relatively simple one, involving the generation of power through the connection of a turbine to an electrical generator. Through an involved mechanical process, this generator converts the mechanical energy of the turbine into electricity, which is subsequently used to power the home or workplace.
By harnessing the waste air that is usually expelled into the atmosphere, by existing air conditioning units, in place in many homes and businesses around Australia, the ability to generate self made electricity, from an already costed source, not only saves in the cost of further energy usage, but also prevents the need for draining of potentially exhaustible natural resources, such as bio fuels.
This low cost energy alternative can be found at Renewable Air Energies in the form of a newly developed product in wind energy supply.
Global figures accounting for the number of people employed in wind energy is in excess of 400,000, with trends indicating that this figure is destined to rise sharply in coming generations.
Wind energy has been cited as one of the leading forces in the renewable energy debate and for this reason it has a major role to play in the sustainability of our future generations power supply.
A part of that sustainability comes from the continued development of wind and air technologies that are able to see the need for, and potential benefits of, renewable energy development. Renewable Air Energies is a company whose ability to recognise the need to create a low cost and efficient solution to our energy demands, both here in Australia and on a wider, global scale has us at the forefront of the industry in this country.
In the last decade global wind power capacity has continued to grow at an average cumulative rate of over 30% according to Global Wind Energy Council statistics.
The United States has been a recent super power in the wind power market, surpassing Germany’s efforts, compared to their previously dominating position as global leaders in renewable energy advocates.
With Chinas latest targets to harness wind energy as a major contributor to national power, Australia has some catching up to do in its efforts to maintain a position in the green energy race.
With big businesses suffering from the effects of the continuing Global Crisis, including the mining industries, is it not time that Australia began to realise its potential in utilising its renewable energy resources, for improved sustainability and the potential to create jobs for huge numbers of Australians?
