Researchers have crunched the numbers and found that if a small number of companies committed to matching every hour of electricity consumption with green energy, it could kickstart a cleaner future.
Using open-source PyPSA software from the Technical University of Berlin, a collaborative group has found that if just 3% of companies made a 24/7 green energy commitment, it could help reduce costs and drive innovation in clean electricity generation and storage technologies.
Although companies have been using 100% green electricity tariffs to reduce reliance on dirty fuels, as an article shared by the University of Berlin on Tech Xplore detailed, that doesn’t account for backup power and nighttime generation.
It goes on to explain that data on green…
