Use of renewable energy sources
Posted on Oct 24, 2008 under Renewable energy | 2 Comments Renewable energyOne of the main goals of the Eco-valley Programme is the use of renewable energy sources. The common goal of the organizations who make the Eco-valley Programme possible is to ensure long term sustainability. With this in mind, in the renewable resources Programme, solar and wind energy and the use of wood take top priority.
The eco village of Somogyvámos today uses mainly renewable energy sources. For heating and cooking, the residents of the village only use wood, while for electricity production the majority is created by collecting solar energy.

For cooking you should use solar ovens instead of wood! Here is a picture of my oven, which will reach a temperature of 450 degrees Farenheit, hot enough to bake breads and pizzas.

Successful solar cooking is dependent upon access to sunshine and the right climate. Though solar cooking is possible in many — if not most — countries, it is most practical for people living in climates that are generally dry and sunny for at least six months of the year.
Unfortunately our country (Hungary) isn’t apropriate for use the solar energy direct for cooking. See the map: http://solarcookers.org/basics/where.html
