Green Energy
Reduce Costs and Increase Customers
June 12, 2008
By
Polly Traylor
Over the past few years, going green has become such
a hot trend in business that even Big Oil is looking
cleaner.
Yet green business is far from trendy. Operating in
a way that is good for the environ-ment is no longer
simply about doing the right thing – it's becoming a
matter of survival. With a global surge in costs for
fuel, electricity and raw materials, most companies
are feeling the pain of the rising cost of doing
business.
According to a NSBA-2008 survey, 77 percent of
business owners surveyed said rising energy prices
have had a negative effect on their business. In
response to rising costs, the survey reports that 37
percent of businesses have raised their prices, 33
percent have reduced business travel, 11 percent
have cut their production schedule and 10 percent
have reduced their workforce.
Beyond reducing costs, consumers are demanding
greener practices. As well, it's only a matter of
time before national environmental regul-ations pass
in this country, forcing change, said Woodruff,
founder of
Profitable Green Solutions,
which provides training programs to help
clients make more money and simultaneously help the
environment.
Uit de krant:"Nieuw datacenter tussen de
paprikavelden".
Datacenteres zijn enorme stroomslurpers. In
datacenters zijn veel computers op elkaar gestapeld
in rekken. De it-industrie gebruikt nu al 7,5
procent van alle stroom.
Binnen 5 jaar stijgt dit naar 15%.
Tuinders verstoken gas via een wkk-systeem (warmte-kracht-koppeling).
Vrijkomende CO2 wordt deels gebruikt als
groeiversneller voor de plantjes. Als
bijprodukt ontstaat stroom die door-verkocht wordt
aan het net.
Bij het geplande
project wordt de stroom afgenomen door het
datacenter en de bij het datacenter vrijkomende
warmte (koeling van de computers) wordt weer gebruikt
door de tuinders.
