Proving That Renewable Energy Sources Are Clean And Cost-effective

22 Jan, 2024

With over sixty years of combined experience in the design, manufacture, hire and sale of innovative products, with renewable energy sources, we know that we can save you money and cut your emissions at the same time. In fact, we even go as far as to guarantee to cut both operating costs and emissions when you make Think Hire your renewable energy partner.

Of course, we understand that these strong convictions and genuine guarantee are only words. That’s why we’re happy to share our case studies of companies just like yours, to show that Think Hire doesn’t just talk the talk; we walk the walk too.

As our latest case studies show, Think Hire can prove the benefits of our renewable energy sources time and time again, on-site in real-life scenarios. We can demonstrate quantifiable reductions in emissions, fossil fuel use, noise pollution and cost when you switch to renewable energy sources. Here are just a few of our case studies now available on our website.

Huge cost savings

Miller Homes were able to cut their operating costs by a massive 71% by switching to a renewable energy source. This was an unexpected bonus for the company, as the main objective of their switch was to reduce the site’s carbon footprint and cut down on harmful pollutants. Achieving these central objectives, saving 14.2 tonnes of CO2 in the process, while also cutting operating costs made it a win/ win situation for our client.

Considerably less CO2

Across the four case studies, there was a huge saving of 59.2 tonnes of CO2. According to MIT, this is the equivalent of driving an average car for 148,000 miles or flying 2,466 miles on a typical airline – that’s about the flying distance from LA to New York. If we can save a whole flight’s worth of CO2 by supplying just four sites with renewable energy sources, just imagine what we could save across the whole of the UK. The potential is enormous.

Less fossil fuels

Ardmore Ltd, Bouygues E&S Solutions and G&V Gallagher all enjoyed a reduction in diesel use of over 90% by switching to a renewable energy source from Think Hire. This reduction was especially welcome following the change in the rules on red diesel use. It also protected our clients from the uncertainties of fuel price rises, which can be especially hard to predict in times of global conflict.

A quiet revolution

As well as reducing their dependence on fossil fuels, cutting polluting emissions and saving on operating costs, all of our case studies noted another benefit of switching to renewable energy sources. Each site also reported a reduction in the noise pollution produced by diesel generators, ranging from 92% to 96%.

Hard proof makes an easy choice

The four case studies mentioned above are just a snapshot of the hundreds of equally successful projects Think Hire have been proud to support in recent years. And with new products coming online, and new depots opening across the UK, this is just the start.

Hard proof is stacking up with every case study, making it almost impossible to ignore the potential savings that you could enjoy by switching to a renewable energy source. And remember, with Think Hire, those savings are not just vague promises, they are guaranteed to every customer who appoints us as their renewable energy partner.
