To produce 1 kWh of electric energy (the amount of electricity required
to burn a 100 watt light bulb for 10hours) we burn around 2,6 kWh in the
form of fossils combustible,which in turn releases to the atmosphere
0,532 kg of carbonic anhydride (CO2) resulting in substantial increase
of the greenhouse effect. An alternative source, to the traditional production
of electric energy is produced by renewable and sustainable energy
sources - sources that do not harm the natural resources for future
generations. The sun, the wind, the sea, the earth's heat etc., are
considered renewable sources.The Solar Energy System converts solar
radiation into direct current electricity, which is favored by Governments
that have the necessity to reduce the greenhouse effect under the parameters
of the Kyoto protocol.Pedini SpA, who have been adhering to
environmentally friendly practices in their production line for many years,
has just invested in a
Solar Energy System that will generate an annual
production of 250.000 kw. The benefit - during the life of this system
(30 years), a saving equal to 3.990.000 kg of CO2 that would have been
released into the atmosphere!The new system will be installed by July of
2010 and will have zero environmental impact, be cause the panels will
be integrated into the roof of the new production facility.At the completion
of the new system installation, Pedini will publish the photos and send to
all their clients a link, with a digital panel, where one will be able to view
the actual production of electric energy and the saving of CO2 in real time.
