TRIAS ENERGETICA
Trias Energetica is a simple and logical concept that helps to understand how to achieve energy savings, reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, and save the environment.
The three elements of Trias Energetica are:
1. Reduce the demand for energy by avoiding waste and implementing energy-saving measures;
2. Use sustainable sources of energy instead of finite fossil fuels;
3. Produce and use fossil energy as efficiently as possible.
Reduction of energy demand is the first step in the sustainable energy supply strategy. If we reduce energy demand as much as it is economically justified, further steps like use of renewable energy and, if necessary, as efficient as possible use of fossil fuels to close our energy balance, will be much cheaper. It is important to keep the mentioned order.
Application of these simple rules in practice allows conservation ofworld fuel resources for future generations, prevention of global climate to change and maintenance of a clean environment.
