Three projects showing way forward

THE cold period has concentrated minds on the whole area of energy, especially that which heats homes, offices, factories and places that people frequent.

It has also prompted people to look at ways of using costly energy to best effect, be it generated by oil, gas, coal, wood, turf, or electricity. Keeping homes and workplaces warm in sub-zero temperatures, a lot of energy is wasted.

Each week, new companies are springing up and older ones are also coming forward with plans and projects in the green/environment area. Many can offer quality employment to graduates and other well-qualified people. And not only do they benefit the environment, they can also save people money.
