Most electricity is produced from coal, natural gas, nuclear, wind, solar and water energy.
But did you know that oil is also used to produce electricity?
Yes the same oil that our cars run on.
All over the world, large amounts of oil are used to produce electricity.
More than 300 billion liters per year.
That’s equivalent to what 20% of all the cars in the world consume every single year.
This produces 700 million tons of C02 emissions each year.
Until now, it was not possible to replace the use of oil for electricity with solar energy since…
Well… there is no solar energy when the sun does not shine...
That’s why ENGIE developed an all-in-one renewable energy solution to address the situation.
It provides 24/7 electricity on demand that is completely free of CO2, relying only on renewable energy sources and all of that at a cost that is cheaper than oil.
We combine the power of solar energy and hydrogen energy storage.
At daytime, the sun provides our customers directly with electricity.
The excess energy that is produced by the solar panels is converted into hydrogen and
stored so that it can be turned back into electricity again during the night.
Best of all, our solution only uses water to store the electricity and it is recovered at every cycle.
So water down the oil use for electricity now and discover us at Engie.com.
