Now you can choose between different types of energy:
renewable (or green) energy and non-renewable (or conventional) energy. On this
page you will find information on the characteristics of renewable energy and
non-renewable energy, and what contributes to the environment if their choice
is renewable energy.
Now we can find on the invoice our trading company, what
kind of energy you have purchased. The information indicates the current
composition of the electricity that you have paid: either renewable or nonrenewable.

Nonrenewable energy
Non-renewable energy is a generic term referring to those
energy sources found in nature in a limited amount and once consumed as a
whole, they cannot be replaced. For the production of this energy is used
fossil fuel.
Nonrenewable energy sources:
- Charcoal
- The Oil
- The Natural Gas
- Geothermal Energy
- Nuclear Power
Why nonrenewable energy pollutes the environment?
With coal combustion occurs much CO2. This has negative
consequences for the environment and our climate. Extraction and combustion gas
to produce energy also pollute the environment because CO2 is released and
because natural gas fields are depleted. With the production of nuclear energy
nuclear waste that are difficult to remove occur.
Renewable energy
Renewable energy or green energy is that which is obtained
from virtually inexhaustible natural sources. Green electricity is generated
through various technologies, using natural energy flows of the Earth.
Renewable energy sources:
- Solar Energy
- Wind Power
- Hydropower
- Biomass Energy
- Tidal Energy
Renewable energy releases much less CO2 than the gray
energy, or even not release any CO2 therefore not affect climate change and its
impact on the environment is minimal. It is also an inexhaustible energy,
unlike fossil energy sources are like gas and coal.
The advantages of renewable energy:
It is clean, its production releases almost no pollutants.
You support the production of a green and inexhaustible
energy.
You contribute to preserving the environment.
Choosing renewable energy is to contribute to an
inexhaustible energy.
If you choose renewable energy, you make a big production of
renewable energy contribution.
Already renewable energy marketers, all consumers,
regardless of their geographical location and volume of consumption, can now
employ green energy, without making any changes to their plants and their
consumption habits.
Renewable energy is supported by the RECS certificates
("Renewable Energy Certificate System") issued and managed by an
independent body, which issues a certificate for each KW / h produced, after
verifying that it comes from renewable sources. That KW / h can be bought and
sold on the electricity market. Certificates issued permit evidence that some
of the energy produced by a particular utility comes from renewable sources.
If you opt for green energy,
helps the expansion of green energy production. The certification ensures that
your energy is really green.
