Abstract
Green energy is a term used to describe sources of energy that are considered
to be environmentally friendly and non-polluting. These sources of energy may
provide a remedy to the systemic effects of global warming and certain forms
of pollution.
Green energy is commonly thought of in the context of electricity, heating and
cogeneration. Consumers, businesses and organizations may purchase green
energy in order to support further development, help reduce the environmental
impacts of conventional electricity generation and increase their nation' s
energy independence. Renewable energy certificates (Green certificates or
green tags) have been one way for consumers and businesses to support green
energy. Over 35 million homes in Europe and one million in the United States
are purchasing such certificates.
Green electricity has in fact been one of the first products to be marketed in
the newly liberalized markets. Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, Norway,
the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United
States are some of the countries in which green pricing activity is on the
increase.
Green electricity in Australia is available from a number of green energy
suppliers that supply electricity from what are thought to be environmentally
friendly energy sources. Typically, this refers to renewable and non-polluting
energy sources. The growth and development of the green energy industry is
tracked in Australia by the ALTEX-Australia alternative energy index.
Aruvian Research presents a research report that analyzes green electricity in
Australia. The report begins with an analysis of the global energy industry,
the Australian energy industry and the Australian renewable energy, setting
the stage for introducing the importance of green electricity in Australia.
The report covers all the renewable energy sectors that are actively
participating in generating electricity through ecological methods.
Australia' s renewable energy certificate system is also described in details
within the report, along with an in-depth analysis of the regulatory framework
affecting electricity generation in a green manner.
