Manufacturing with Renewable Energy

Approximately 85% of the utility serving Lombardi has it’s energy requirements met   with hydroelectric power purchased from the New York Power Authority. This allows   Lombardi to designate a portion of its US manufacturing as 100% renewable energy   on a per-program basis. Hydroelectric power is classed as a renewable energy due to   the fact that it relies on the Earth’s natural water cycle’s kinetic energy to generate   electricity. With its 90% efficiency in converting the kinetic energy to electricity, and   the fact that no fuels are burned and no direct emissions are released into the   atmosphere, it is often considered as a very clean form of electricity generation.
