Large end-user interest in participating in the renewable power market continues to grow. Google Maximilian Philipp Jersey , for example, recently reached an agreement to buy the output of a large wind farm in Iowa, owned by NextEra. Large end-user interest in participating in the renewable power market continues to grow. Google, for example Matthias Ginter Jersey , recently reached an agreement to buy the output of a large wind farm in Iowa, owned by NextEra. Recent data from EPA鈥檚 Green Power Partnership shows that leading organizations 鈥?from Fortune 500 companies to local, state and federal governments and a growing number of colleges and universities 鈥?are buying green electricity and Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). The combined annual purchases of the 50 largest buyers in EPA鈥檚 Green Power Partnership amounted to over 12.3 billion kilowatt-hours.

However, despite the significant and laudable commitment of these organizations Mario Gotze Jersey , many of the current purchasing arrangements do not help them realize the full value of renewables. These agreements tend to fall into one of the following categories: (a) Purchase of green electricity from a provider; (b) Displacement of retail purchases through a single on-site project (e.g., a roof-top solar unit); or (c) Purchase of RECs from a provider. However, these arrangements do not effectively position end-users to capture three important sources of value:

* Hedge Value. Direct ownership of solar or wind generation assets (either in full or in part) provides a hedge against escalating electricity prices that are driven by inflation in fossil fuel prices. They also offer a hedge against future carbon prices.

* Other Economic Benefits. Under most common structures, the lion鈥檚 share of benefits like cost savings Marco Reus Jersey , tax benefits, government incentives accrue to equity investors. In an equity-like position, these benefits would flow directly to end consumers.

* Brand Value. In most cases, REC purchases alone limit the impact organizations can have transforming the green energy landscape.

Recognizing these shortcomings Marcel Schmelzer Jersey , CustomerFirstRenewables (CFR) was formed in early 2010 to help organizations achieve their energy goals with tailored and profitable renewable power supply solutions. It also provides a compelling return on investment.

CFR starts the process by developing a clear understanding of customer needs. Because CFR鈥檚 proposal development process is highly-collaborative, it also builds organizational buy-in and momentum for the agreed solution. CFR leverages its network of value chain partners to deliver the solution and ensure it delivers attractive benefits over the life of the renewable assets.
CrossFit is a combination of various exercises for overall fitness and training. It combines the basics of cardio, weight training, and gymnastics that train each and every part of the body. CrossFit athletes have to carry different types of gears and footwear with them Marc Bartra Jersey , and that鈥檚 what makes the CrossFit backpack a special accessory for these fitness freaks. Different types of shoes, wrist bands, jump ropes, knee sleeves Mahmoud Dahoud Jersey , and ropes are some of the common accessories in a CrossFit athlete鈥檚 bag. The features discussed below make the CrossFit bag a perfect carriage for this versatile fitness training:


Material


Most of the CrossFit backpacks are made from heavy-duty nylon or the polyester to withstand the weight of the CrossFit training accessories.


The material of the partition lining also matters. Where the bottom needs to be strongest, the partition of the shoe compartment and wet clothes must be water and odor resist. Similarly, the lining of the small pockets meant for valuables like watches, glasses Lukasz Piszczek Jersey , and jewelry needs to be soft.


Another feature of the material is its maintenance. These bags often get filthy and stinky which means regular cleaning, and thus the material must be able to withstand water and soap without compromising with the colors and strength.


Space and partition


One large compartment and small external pockets make it convenient to carry everything in one bag in an organized way.


Some of the designs also have separate shoe compartment because most of the CrossFit athletes need more than one type of shoes for different exercises and shoes must be kept completely away from rest of the items in the bag.
