Saving environment is the prime matter of concern for all these days. In the wake of this, Ecotricity, the gas and electricity supplier in UK has announced the launch of the first ever green gas tariff plan in the coming months. The company says that it is tendering an opportunity to the customers to “change the world”.
On doing this, Ecotricity will become the first ever energy supplier of UK to make green gas available to the British households.
Green gas is the safest and harmless fuel that does not harm the environment. It is also called biogas and is made during a composting-like process where microbes break down organic material, such as food waste and sewage.
The energy supplier has scheduled the launch of the new service in February 2010. The green gas tariff that matches the British Gas’ standard prices will aid the users in plummeting their carbon footprint, cut landfill wastes and promoting a healthy and pollution free environment.
Founder of Ecotricity, Dale Vince said: “By choosing green gas, customers can make a positive long-term change to the world we live in.”
He added: “Nobody has to carry on giving their money to the big multinational energy companies, who seem determined to keep burning whatever in the world they can get their hands on.”
Ecotricity also concurred on getting the right and proper Government backing, the green gas could be generated in ample amount to cater to the fuel needs of as much as half the UK’s domestic gas users.
Commercial manager at Energychoices.co.uk, Chris Eagle said: “It’s worth noting that the gas provided by this tariff won’t be 100% green straight away.
“Ecotricity’s business model means the more customers that sign up, the more green gas plants it can build, and the higher percentage of gas supplied will be green (the rest will be brown gas bought on the energy market).
“This model has already worked with the company’s green electricity, and over the last five years has seen it invest £450 per year per customer in new sources of renewable electricity.”
“If you want to help create a supply of green gas for the future, signing up to Ecotricity is a great way to do so.”
Ecotricity’s green gas tariff will be available from February, but people can register their interest on Ecotricity’s website now.
