Why Become More Sustainable?

How can it help us?

The world’s population is continuing to grow at an alarming rate. In the 1800’s the world’s population was around 1 billion people and by 2000 it had increased to 6 billion. We are looking at it increasing to over 9 billion by 2050.
Our planet only has a fixed amount of natural resources which are being consumed at a considerable rate. These resources are so limited that prices will continue to rise.

The total solar energy absorbed by Earth’s atmosphere, oceans and land masses is approximately 3,850,000 exajoules (EJ) per year. To put this in prospective this was more energy produced in one hour than the world used in one year. The amount of solar energy reaching the surface of the our planet is so vast that in one year it is about twice as much as will ever be obtained from all of the Earth’s non-renewable resources of coal, oil, natural gas, combined.

Although one of the most obvious reasons to go green is to conserve resources for future generations, starting green habits creates benefits you can enjoy right now. Going green and becoming more sustainable can be as simple as changing old ways with new ones.
We talk about our children and our children’s children’s futures, if we want them to have the same standard of living we have known and enjoyed then we must preserve the foundation of that standard of living.
Around 49% of the EU’s energy demand is consumed in the heating and cooling sectors. This is broken up into three main areas domestic, commercial and industrial. This is a huge figure and when you think of everyone using gas or electricity to power their hot water systems you can only imagine how much we are actually consuming each year and this needs to be reduced.

Using Camel solar thermal energy is a more effective more sustainable method for producing hot water. Over a year solar thermal can produce around 60% of the hot water demand for homes, commercial properties and industrial buildings and work well alongside other new technologies such as heat pumps and absorption chillers.
Camel Solar have a dedicated research team with leading technologies for harnessing the suns energy not just for domestic use but also for commercial and industrial.
