Bovaer’s potential lies in its ability to make a significant impact quickly. Research suggests it could reduce methane emissions from cows by up to 30%, offering a fast-acting solution to one of agriculture’s most significant emissions problems. For farmers already grappling with the need to transition to more sustainable practices, it provides a tangible step forward without drastically altering farm operations or food production.

The agricultural sector in the UK is facing rising energy costs that significantly impact both arable farming and the agri-food industries. These rising costs have created a challenging environment for farmers who depend on a wide range of energy-consuming processes to maintain productivity, from running machinery in the fields to powering refrigeration and storage systems for food production.

In the agricultural and agri-food industries, energy costs represent a significant portion of operating expenses, with refrigeration standing out as one of the highest energy users. In fact, energy consumed by refrigeration in the UK alone costs the industry around £300 million per year, and this figure is primarily driven by the food sector. Rising energy costs have only made this problem worse, putting pressure on farmers, growers, and businesses that rely on refrigeration to keep their products fresh.

Blue Renewables is proud to announce that we will be exhibiting at The National Fruit Show, held at the Kent Showground on November 6th, 2024. This prestigious event is a key date in the UK’s agricultural calendar, bringing together the nation’s leading fruit growers and industry professionals to explore the latest innovations in farming and agri-business. We are excited to showcase our renewable energy solutions, specifically tailored for large-scale farming and agri-food businesses.

In today’s environmentally conscious world, businesses are increasingly looking for sustainable solutions to reduce their carbon footprint and operating costs. One of the most effective options available is investing in solar panels for business.

Garden centres are unique businesses that blend commerce with nature, offering customers a slice of the outdoors along with their plants, tools, and garden accessories. As energy costs continue to rise, garden centres face the challenge of maintaining profitability while upholding their commitment to sustainability. One excellent solution that aligns perfectly with both financial and environmental goals is the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.

At Blue Renewables, we specialise in providing renewable energy solutions for commercial customers across the UK. A key part of understanding solar energy systems is getting to grips with the units of measurement used to describe energy production and consumption. This knowledge is crucial, not only for understanding the capacity of your solar installation but also for calculating the potential savings on your energy bills. In this blog post, we'll explain the key units of measurement in solar electricity: kilowatt-hours (kWh) and megawatts (MW), and how they relate to your financial savings.

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are long-term contracts between renewable energy providers and businesses in the UK, enabling the installation of solar panels, wind turbines, and battery storage without high upfront costs.
