Renewable and alternative energy sources are set to play an increasingly important role in providing the electricity, heat, cooling and fuels that society needs. There is a wide range of energy sources such as solar (both photovoltaic and solar thermal), wind, bio-fuels and biomass, hydro-electric, geothermal and heat pumps. - Description added by: David Lockie

Industry by its nature tends to be a large-scale consumer of carbon-based energy and a producer of carbon-embedded products.

The good news is that considerable savings, efficiencies and benefits can be leveraged at the industrial scale, increasing overall profitability.
