RENEWABLE ENERGY
The secure future of the world’s environment may hinge on our collective ability to transition away from traditional to renewable sources of energy. In addition to being environmentally beneficial, renewable energy technology is becoming sophisticated and has evolved to the point of economic feasibility.
REC has tremendous expertise in consulting on numerous forms of renewable energy, including:
- Biofuels (ethanol, bagas): development of ethanol for use in flex-fuel automobiles, development of bagas as a byproduct to power mill operations, government policy plans to transition from fossil fuels to biofuels
- Wind energy: deployment of turbines, development and environmental impact of of wind farms, government policies to attract private investment
- Solar energy: solar panel distribution and deployment
- Small-scale hydropower: deployment of generators for use in streams and small rivers to generate energy for small villages and communities
