Kaveri Cements Ltd consumed 40,000 GJ of energy in the year, of which 10,000 GJ came from solar and wind sources. In its sustainability disclosure, what share of total energy was renewable?
The renewable share is 25 percent. It is calculated by dividing the 10,000 GJ of solar and wind energy by the total 40,000 GJ consumed. Using the non-renewable amount as the base would give a wrong figure, and 75 percent is the non-renewable portion.
- A20%
- B25%Correct
- C33.3%
- D75%
Explanation
Renewable share equals renewable energy divided by total energy consumed: 10,000/40,000 = 25%. The 33.3% figure wrongly divides by the non-renewable 30,000 GJ. The 75% figure is the non-renewable share, not the renewable one.
