What is the total energy consumption from renewable sources?
CSRD
Identify Renewable Energy Sources:
List all the renewable energy sources used in your company's operations. These might include:
Solar energy
Wind energy
Hydropower
Geothermal energy
Biomass
Renewable energy certificates (RECs) if applicable (if you purchase renewable energy through your energy supplier).
Gather Data for Renewable Energy Consumption:
Collect data for the amount of renewable energy consumed in your operations. This data can typically be obtained from:
Energy bills or reports from your energy provider.
On-site renewable energy systems (e.g., solar panels, wind turbines).
Purchased renewable energy (e.g., green electricity contracts or renewable energy certificates).
Convert Renewable Energy Data to a Common Unit:
If renewable energy consumption data is provided in different units (e.g., kWh for electricity, liters or tons for biomass), convert everything to a common unit such as kWh or MJ.
Use conversion factors if necessary. For example:
1 liter of biofuel = 10 kWh.
1 cubic meter of biogas = 6 kWh.
Sum the Total Energy Consumption from Renewable Sources:
Add up the energy consumed from all renewable sources (electricity, biomass, solar, wind, etc.) to get the total energy consumption from renewable sources.
