Do you feel a little lost when people are moving to certain topics of sustainability of the environmental environment and are you not sure to start in terms of more learning? Sustainability 101 is a series of blog, which you can turn to information about different environmental conditions that can work at work, during discussions with friends and even during the annual holidays of the holidays.
It is likely that when someone overturns the light switch or on the computer, they do not think of what it produces this electricity.
Energy demand increases in a wide range of industries and industries, driven by technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and electric vehicles (EV) and digitization of new and development economies. According to the new report of the International Energy Agency (IEA), global electricity consumption is expected to expand around 4%every year by 2027. This is the equivalent of adding an amount greater than the Japanese annual electricity consumption every year from now to 2027.
How will the world satisfy this demand for electricity? More energy technologies, grid digitization and clean energy are things that can help. In particular, pure energy can play an important role in creating a safer, more reliable, replenished and sustainable energy system that reduces costs and reduces environmental impacts. According to the IEA’s Renewables 2024 “… renewable sources will be almost half of the global electricity production by 2030.”
What is pure energy
Pure energy is any source of energy that releases small to no direct greenhouse gas (GHG) into the atmosphere. As an energy alternative without pollution, available in virtually all parts of the world increases and diversifies global energy supply and can often be more cost -effective.
Solar and wind energies often come to mind when you think about pure energy sources, but also include the ocean, geothermal, nuclear and water energy.
Renewable energy is a subset of pure energy. However, not all pure energy is renewable. For example, take nuclear energy: it is considered pure energy, because the energy released from the atoms does not choose GHG, but is not renewable because the necessary sources of uranium are limited.
The benefits of pure renewable energy
For Cisco, the clean renewable energy showed a number of benefits such as:
- There may be a competition price in some markets and can save money over time.
- Depending on the market, it may be vulnerable to the market fluctuations and disruption of the supply chain.
- It helps companies to meet the aims of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which are often in line with the objectives of their value chain partners and customer base and necessary if customers require that businesses to reduce or eliminate operating greenhouse gases.
For communities located nearby, new clean energy can:
- Increase local production and energy availability at a competitive rate.
- Local economic growth with the employment of the power plant and the development of infrastructure; 42% of all energy tasks are now in the clean energy sector.
- Emitted air polluting.
What is Cisco Dooing?
For Cisco, the use of net renewable energy has a good business sense for our operations. In addition to saving costs, increased access to energy and playing a role in our goal, reaching the emissions of clean zero greenhouse gases by 2040 is also strengthened for the reputation of leaders in sustainability.
Cisco launched its clean energy in 2007 with 11% of its electricity produced by clean energy sources. Today, 96% of our global use of electricity comes from renewable sources and we are trying to support further acceptance of pure energy. The areas we focus on include:
- Development of technology for energy efficiency and resistance that provides energy that provides energy safer. The constant predominance of decentralized pure energy sources can strain the power grids. Cisco Solutions, adapted to engineering and intelligent networks, can help maintain digital infrastructure safe, current and optimized.
- Engaging in long -term local contracts for clean energy to power our equipment. Whenever possible, Cisco looks at ways to generate our electricity in place. However, if this is not practical or cost -effective, we conclude agreements on the purchase of energy (PPA) with clean energy developers who build new projects, as well as for our first wind energy project on the Sans market as our campuses Richardson and Allen in Texas. Fisher County, Texas residents, also used, acquired an electric power plant and jobs from the developer and operator. We recently signed PPA with X-Elio and Southern Power.
In India, Cisco’s Bangalore Campus, which included offices, a research laboratory and a large data center, he recently entered 15 years of agriculture with a fixed price with a clean energy race at a distance of 164 million.
- Investment in innovation of clean energy. The Cisco and Cisco Investments Foundation, the company’s risk arm, provides financing to non -profit organizations and starting businesses progressing to solve clean energy.
The organizations they have invested include:
Shyft power. About 600 million people still lack electricity in Africa, mostly in sub -Saharan countries. The Shyft Power introduced a technological platform to promote the acceptance of pure energy in Nigeria.
Corpower OceanSwedish society that develops viable ways to use the ocean waves as a continuous, renewable energy source.
Evolving towards a more energy and sustainable world
Acceptance of net energy provides opportunities to increase energy safety while helping to reduce costs, create jobs and stimulate economic growth. Through efforts to ensure clean energy for Cisco, we have seen benefits for our business, our customers and planet.
