Did you know that... ?
- A person in a low income country consumes less than a tenth of the energy of a person in high income country
- Buildings are responsible for about 15% of the world’s emissions, and domestic housing is the single course most important source of greenhouse gases.
- The internal combustion engine, the basis for the majority of road vehicles worldwide, was produced commercially more than 150 years ago. Electric vehicles are not automatically more sustainable – it depends which source of energy it is charged with.
- Renewable sources of energy are naturally replenishing and therefore, if sustainably harvested, are virtually inexhaustible. 13% of energy demand in 2006 was from renewable sources.
- Solar panels currently only capture 10% of the sun’s energy, but innovation is rapidly increasing this figure.
