RES – what does it mean? Green energy in the production system of TERMOFOL

In the face of growing ecological awareness and the necessity to care for the planet, both small households and large enterprises are striving to implement practices that contribute to the positive development of the natural environment. That is why TERMOFOL has decided that starting from December 1, 2023, all of its production will be based on renewable energy, i.e., RES. What does it mean exactly? How green energy affects your life and the functioning of factories? You will find out in our article!

RES – what does it actually mean?

RES is an abbreviation for Renewable Energy Sources. The definition of this term refers to a wide spectrum of devices and methods for obtaining energy from natural, renewable processes that are considered inexhaustible on a human scale. Unlike fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, renewable energy sources are considered environmentally friendly due to lower greenhouse gas emissions and a smaller impact on environmental degradation.

The term RES therefore includes energy from:

• wind,
• solar,
• geothermal,
• hydro,
• biomass.

Each of these sources has its unique applications and potential in various areas of the RES industry. In connection with global climate change and increasing ecological awareness, green energy is becoming a key challenge for businesses, governments, and individual consumers. Green energy is, for example, electricity obtained from photovoltaics, minimizing negative impacts on the environment, making it a foundation for RES companies striving for sustainable development.

TERMOFOL, as a company for which the RES industry is particularly important, has made a conscious decision to switch to green energy throughout its production process. Starting from December 1, 2023, every heating film coming off the TERMOFOL production line will not only be energy-efficient but also produced in an environmentally friendly manner. This step aims to reduce emissions of harmful greenhouse gases, but also to promote green energy as the foundation of a modern economy.

By introducing green energy, TERMOFOL becomes part of a larger ecosystem of RES products, demonstrating that industry, even high-energy industries like heating system production, can operate in harmony with nature. This approach not only aligns with global and European trends and consumer expectations but also responds to rising prices of green energy, which are becoming increasingly competitive compared to traditional sources.

TERMOFOL's decision to switch to green energy also emphasizes the value of initiatives such as the green energy program, which encourage and support businesses and households in investing in RES. The program applicant will receive funds for a photovoltaic installation with a capacity of up to 50 kW. Additionally, the funds can also be used to purchase an energy storage system.

Green energy – what is it? Terminological distinction

The terms RES and green energy are often used interchangeably, but they can have slightly different connotations. Renewable energy sources refer to those that can be continuously renewed naturally. Green energy is a broader concept that includes energy produced from renewable sources, but also emphasizes its ecological aspect, i.e., minimizing negative impacts on the environment. Green energy can also highlight energy produced sustainably, not only from an ecological perspective but also from social or economic viewpoints.

In general, both terms focus on promoting clean, sustainable methods of energy production aimed at reducing dependence on fossil fuels and limiting negative impacts on the climate and natural environment. However, green energy can be seen as a more comprehensive approach that encompasses not only the energy source but also its ecological aspects of production and consumption.

Green energy in agriculture and beyond. RES installation in practice

RES — what does it mean in practice? It primarily refers to the variety of applications of renewable energy sources, which find their place both in large infrastructure projects and in the daily lives of individual consumers. In the context of practical application, green energy is used for electricity production, water heating, and even powering vehicles. In particular, green energy in agriculture can significantly contribute to reducing operational costs and increasing energy self-sufficiency.

TERMOFOL demonstrates how RES installation can be integrated into large-scale production processes. An example is the use of solar panels to power the factory, which not only reduces dependence on traditional sources but also lowers green energy prices for the enterprise. This model serves as an inspiration for every RES company, showing that investing in green energy is both ecological and economical.

RES products offered by TERMOFOL, such as modern infrared heating systems, exemplify how green energy-based technologies can be effectively implemented in everyday life. As a result, the company's customers can enjoy high-quality products that are both energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

In summary, the practical application of RES indicates the dynamic development of the green energy sector and opens new opportunities for RES companies. RES installation not only helps protect our planet by reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also offers significant economic benefits for both enterprises and individual users.

The RES industry in our hands!

TERMOFOL's decision to fully switch to green energy from December 2023 is a clear signal that the RES industry not only aspires to be ecological but also actively shapes a sustainable future. By incorporating green energy into the value chain, TERMOFOL demonstrates that it is possible to combine technological innovation with care for the planet.

The development of green energy and its increasingly widespread application in various sectors of the economy, from agriculture to manufacturing enterprises, emphasizes the importance of investing in RES. Green energy prices, once higher compared to traditional sources, are becoming increasingly competitive due to technological advancements and economies of scale.

In this context, TERMOFOL not only sets standards in the RES industry but also inspires other RES companies to follow the path of sustainable business development. We encourage further exploration of the topic to better understand how each of us can contribute to building a better future for our shared planet and to follow the upcoming articles in our series, which will continue the discussion on the importance of green energy and the role of RES.
