Much emphasis has been placed on solar energy but bio-based renewables also present a winwin! They have the potential to power the economy while minimising waste and enabling us to make the best use of our resources. They generate energy. They help us to manage our carbon footprint. They boost local agriculture production by supplying organic fertilizers.
And they improve our tourism value-added because the oceans and the island are cleaner. We support all efforts to promote and encourage the use of clean energy sources and commend the government for accelerating the shift to 100 percent renewable energy. The move has the potential to create more sustainable jobs. New opportunities will rise for engineers, technicians, technologists, investors and entrepreneurs.
