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

a solar energy installation working over 20 year - yes, it is possible and sustainable. in fact most of the solar panels are not replaced before 30 years
solar energy is a solution? it depends which problem you are trying to solve I guess. If we talk about reducing CO2 emissions then yes, it is part of the solution I think. Its emissions are about 10x lower than diesel. Double than other sources such as hydro, nuclear or wind; but those are not so easy to install
as for the recycling one of the "problems" with solar is the long life it has -> there are not enough old panels to start making new ones. But there are already several companies doing this. The ratio of recycled solar panels is expected to increase significantly in the coming years
