Carbon Footprint Reduction
With your turbine producing an annual output of 20,000kwh, this will reduce your carbon footprint by approximately 17 tonnes of CO2 per year as this power is no longer generated from fossil fuels. As a point of reference, powering a typical family home generates 6 tonnes of CO2 a year whilst driving a 3 litre executive diesel 12000 mile generates approximately 5 tonnes of CO2 .
The Windmine turbine readily covers the carbon footprint of electrical power requirements for the family home |
