MSF - OCB's Global Environmental Footprint Initiative
Building MSF OCB environmental roadmap
Decarbonize electricity & energy production
📍Reduce fossil fuel produced electricity thanks to renewable resources (photovoltaic panels, wind turbines) and appropriate generators sizing.
📍Use solar energy for specific equipment (hotwater production, water pumps for boreholes…)
📍Produce electricity or energy from waste or from fatal heat (co-generation installed on incinerators or generators, methanisation…)
📍Subscribe to a decarbonated energy supplier for the buildings where relevant

Conversation with Iñaki GOICOLEA
renewable energies are becoming more and more easy to implement all around the world.
The technology is becoming more easy to use, with higher efficiencies ...
Trainings available for technicians ion how to size and implement these solutions (also available through the MSF training catalogue)
The CO2 payback is getting shorter and shorter, nowadays around 3 - 4 years in the worst cases. considering that the life of a solar installation is estimated in 20 years this is very good! (CO2 payback is the ammount of time you need the installation to run to save the same ammount of CO2 used to produce, transport, ... all its components)
Fuel prices are going up, renewable energy costs are going down
We still have a big space to grow in this area
But is 20 years of life actually sustainable ? (It's obviously better than burning oil, but are solar pannels just a bandaid to push the problem a generation or two further away or an actual solution ?)
Are we capable of recycling the components of batteries and solar panel to make new ones ?
