What is the consumption of self-generated non-fuel renewable energy?
CSRD
Identify Self-Generated Non-Fuel Renewable Energy Sources:
List all non-fuel renewable energy sources your company generates on its own. These sources could include:
Solar energy (e.g., electricity generated by solar panels).
Wind energy (e.g., electricity generated by wind turbines).
Hydropower (e.g., electricity from a small hydroelectric generator).
Geothermal energy (e.g., used for electricity generation or heating).
Biomass energy (e.g., energy generated from organic waste, not considered fuel for combustion).
Gather Data on Self-Generated Energy Consumption:
Collect data on the amount of renewable energy generated on-site. This can be measured in kWh or MJ depending on the energy type.
If you have solar panels, wind turbines, or other renewable energy systems, the energy generated should be tracked through your metering systems or energy management systems.
Account for Energy Consumption:
Determine how much of the self-generated renewable energy is consumed on-site versus sold or exported to the grid. Only the energy consumed on-site is counted as part of your self-generated renewable energy consumption.
Energy Exported: If any energy is exported to the grid, this should not be counted in your consumption. Only energy used in your operations should be included.
Convert Data into Common Units (if necessary):
If the energy is provided in different units (e.g., tons of biomass, therms, etc.), convert everything into a common unit such as kWh or MJ for easier aggregation.
Use conversion factors where necessary. For example:
1 liter of biofuel = 10 kWh.
1 ton of biomass = 2,900 kWh.
1 cubic meter of biogas = 6 kWh.
Calculate Total Consumption of Self-Generated Non-Fuel Renewable Energy:
Sum the total self-generated energy consumed in your operations from non-fuel renewable sources.
