RENEWABLE ENERGY

The planet's greatest resource

Renewable energy is derived from resources recovering naturally. Examples of renewable energy sources are; solar energy, wind energy, and wave energy. Unlike fossil fuels, we do not run out of renewable energy sources. Renewable energy comes from sustainable sources that are renewed naturally.

Renewable energy sources are one of the most promising options for sustainably meeting our energy needs in the future. Thus, they can help to eliminate the use of fossil fuels, as they are less harmful to the environment and can contribute to reducing the emission of greenhouse gasses. Greenhouse gases are one of the most impacting causes of global warming.
An additional advantage of renewable energy is that it is cheap to produce, as its availability is endless.

At UNISON, we develop renewable energy systems based on solar and wind power.

Independent of fossil energy

Denmark must be climate neutral by 2050 according to the UN climate goals. The climate crisis shows us that rapid reductions in CO2 emissions are needed. If we want to limit global warming to 1.5°C according to the Paris Agreement, drastic changes are needed. Among other things, it will be necessary to shift energy production from fossil fuel production to more sustainable production. The need for independence from coal, oil and gas is further supported by recent geopolitical challenges in Europe.

Protect the planet with renewable energy

The world's demand for power is increasing year on year, not least because we are working towards the electrification of global communities as part of the green transition. By using solar and wind to produce energy, we can meet today's energy consumption needs without compromising the needs of future generations. Renewable energy sources can, with a minimized CO2 impact compared to fossil energy sources, produce large amounts of energy and thus make a major contribution to reducing the climate crisis the world is facing.

Solar energy is renewable energy

Solar energy is one of the most common types of renewable energy. As the name suggests, it is generated by the sun. Solar energy can be used to produce electricity, heat and light. It is a sustainable and environmentally friendly form of energy as it does not emit harmful greenhouse gases or other forms of pollution or residual waste.

Solar energy is produced using solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity. Solar panels consist of solar cells. A solar cell is a semiconductor that converts light radiation directly into electricity, using the so-called photoelectric effect.

Wind energy is an inexhaustible resource

Wind energy is another type of renewable energy that, as the name suggests, is generated through wind. This form of energy is unlimited and can be used to generate electricity using wind turbines that convert wind energy into electricity. Wind turbines consist of a rotor with blades that spin when the wind blows. The rotor is connected to a generator that converts the kinetic energy from the rotor into electricity.
