Location: Rwanda
Sector: Energy.
The energy sector is one major component of every national economy as trade, production, and even distribution depend on it. Every nation increases its GDP by making sure there is the establishment of industries. Likewise, industries that produce products for their citizens and find ways to import less product.
Manufacturing takes a huge chunk of energy production as a lot goes into that aspect of the economy. And while all this is happening, it also poses an enormous effect on the atmospheres of such nations. Insofar as there is the production of harmful substances, CFC depletes the atmospheric barrier of such countries amongst others.
Green Energy
This is why the adoption of green energy is fast spreading across developed countries. It provides clean and efficient utilization and production of energy to serve household needs. And, over the last decade, we have seen a rise in the need for renewable energy systems. It is because it comes from natural processes that replenish constantly. Some of the most common examples are; Wind, Thermal, Hydrothermal, Solar, etc. Moreover, the Solar is the most common amongst Africans. And we take a look at a Rwandan eco-company- Munyax Eco.
Munyax Eco is providing a simple but yet complex solution, “Save Money, Save Energy, Save the planet”. The company is working in the Solar energy and efficiency sectors, selling and installing environmentally friendly and high-quality equipment.
