To achieve the ambitious targets, Carlsberg Group’s breweries will use 100 percent renewable electricity and eliminate coal as a source of energy by 2022.
As part of this journey, Carlsberg Sverige’s brewery in Falkenberg is now fuelled 100% on biogas and green electricity, which reduces the brewery's carbon emissions from thermal energy and electricity to zero.
Experts have predicted the amount of energy used by data centers will triple in the next decade, and as a responsible cloud computing company, iomart has started its journey to sustainable growth through lower energy consumption across its data centers.

Georgetown, Texas, is perhaps best known for its antiques and retirees. So what led former Vice President Al Gore and hundreds of renewable energy leaders to converge on this small Central Texas town last month? In 2016, Georgetown became the nation’s largest city to rely on 100% renewable electricity after signing a solar agreement with NRG[1]. In this context, the city provided a fitting backdrop for the GridNext conference organized by the Texas Renewable Energy Industry Alliance (TREIA). Each year, GridNext convenes private, public, and academic sectors to discuss the rise of renewable energy and the implications for the Texas grid.
