Reducing carbon footprint and financial savings

APPROXIMATELY ALMOST A QUARTER OF A TON OF CO2 EMISSIONS PER YEAR CAN BE PREVENTED BY INSTALLING JUST ONE RAM-1 DEVICE!

Izoelektro has prepared a carbon emission calculator which shows carbon emission savings by installing the RAM-1 device. The calculator incorporates carbon savings due to power grid losses, cost savings due to power outage prevention as well as a tree comparison demonstration. Our carbon calculator will soon be available to the public online.

Let us emphasize that the calculation does not include the transmission grids and applies only to the distribution networks. The numbers for transmission grids are at least three times higher.

Example below is derived from data for Slovenia, where the electricity grids are well maintained and the price of electricity is quite favorable. For areas where electrical energy is more expensive or even to foresee prices of electrical energy in the future where price increase is to be expected, costs savings for grid operators would be even more significant.

To put that in to context, a mid-sized utility with roughly 500.000 end consumers has tens of thousands of installed surge arresters and if we assume a rather small percentage of these to be equipped with a smart device RAM-1, most commonly on locations known for overvoltage disruption, and settle for a round number of 1000 RAM-1 devices, we get following numbers: on annual basis, 141 tons of CO2 emission could get saved, which is an equivalent to the amount of CO2 that 6500 trees can process in the same time period. Furthermore, by reducing power outages and thus ensuring more reliable energy supply over 700.000 € of costs could be saved annually. Check the table below.
