The wind offers a clean and infinite source of power that will benefit us for years to come. Discover the environmental and social benefits of choosing them.
1. Wind Power is Unlimited, Reliable and Permanent
Wind power is generated by the natural wind with the help of the sun and terrestrial rotation, so wind energy will be available as long as the sun shines and the Earth keeps moving. Based on this, we can say that wind power and other types of renewable energy, such as solar and hydrogen energies, are unlimited, reliable, and permanent.
2. Wind Energy is Less Polluting
Wind energy is one of the cleanest energies used in the new industrial era. It does not use an implicit combustion process; thus, no toxic gases or solid waste is generated. In fact, the amount of electricity produced by one wind turbine is equivalent to combusting 1 ton of oil, making it one of the lowest polluting energy sources while preserving its efficacy.
Comparing the power produced with coal and gas, wind-generated energy significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, using wind energy contributes to the Net Carbon Zero plan by improving project efficiencies with the mindset of supporting a clean energy future.
Various industries are becoming aware of the possibilities of using more innovative and low-footprint resources as part of the energy transformation roadmap, and we are committed to being part of this positive change.
3. Wind Power Promotes Sustainable Development
Wind power is undoubtedly one of the most promising ways to generate electricity in an environmentally sustainable way. In fact, The GWEC has set the goal to achieve a 1.5°C world by scaling up annual wind energy installations by 400%. However, there’s more to that than just the planet’s well-being. Increasingly, we strive to achieve sustainable deployment for improved electricity security, accessibility, and large-scale deployment. This aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 7, and we are excited to see wind energy contributing to that vision.
4. Wind Power Creates Jobs and Helps Diversify the Economy
Wind turbines are usually located close to farms and forests, which makes them co-exist with agricultural and livestock activities without negatively affecting them. Therefore, their relationship with local businesses is cooperative and helpful for creating employment in rural areas, such as engineering, transportation, forestry, project construction, and new wealth sources. Even new fields of study have been created since the increase in the popularity of green energy.
Other opportunities for wind energy projects to improve the economy of the communities close by include financially supporting the improvement of the area’s infrastructures. These activities include building or upgrading roads, bridges, and even schools. In other instances, the development of wind energy projects can support local landowners by generating a new revenue stream through land lease agreements.
5. Wind Energy Integrates with Other Systems
Although wind power is more productive in windier places, it can be deployed to operate with other renewable energy technologies, such as solar and hydrogen. This kind of integration presents a great opportunity to optimize grid systems and promote solutions for smart grids to serve communities that face electricity access challenges.
