The Future of U.S. Solar Photovoltaic Technology – Q&A – Tonio Buonassisi

Energy Efficiency No Comments »

The solar photovoltaic (PV) industry continues to grow, despite intense international competition and recent margin compression.

Can innovation in technology and manufacturing allow American companies to compete and ultimately thrive in this huge but challenging market?

Professor Buonassisi will address these questions as he explores the outlook for American PV cell and module suppliers. He will begin by using an industry-validated bottoms-up cost model to compare the cost-reduction potentials of various innovative PV technologies, and how their successful development could influence manufacturing location decisions. He will also describe recent progress toward these innovative technologies, highlighting the new computational and experimental tools that have accelerated the cycle of discovery and product development — providing “sneak peeks” at the technologies that may grace rooftops in years to come. He will conclude by showcasing recent success stories of U.S. innovation.

Join us as Professor Buonassisi explains how technology innovation will open up pathways for success in the U.S. solar PV industry.

Tonio Buonassisi, MIT Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, heads an interdisciplinary research laboratory focused on photovoltaics (PV). He completed his Ph.D. in Applied Science & Technology at UC Berkeley, with additional research at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems and the Max-Planck-Institute for Microstructure Physics. He is author of over a hundred journal papers, and co-developer of a dedicated course on photovoltaics.

Prof. Buonassisi invents, develops, and applies defect-engineering techniques over the entire solar cell process, from crystal growth to modules, improving the cost effectiveness of commercial and next-generation solar cells. Several of his PV innovations have been implemented in industry, including key contributions leading to the founding of solar start-ups and a research institute.

This Billion Dollar Solar Plant was an EPIC Failure

Billion Dollar Solar Plant Failure. Huge Thanks to Lutema! Get 20% off your USA Made Masks Today: https://lutema.com/discount/tbdv20

Solar power is often talked about as a great savior in our efforts to clean up our grid. But when an adventurous company set out to build a massive 1 Billion Dollar solar farm in the Nevada Desert, things… didn’t work out too well. So What happened? Is solar power doomed, a terrible idea, or is there something we can learn from the Crescent Dune’s Solar Thermal Power Plant?

Key points to reduce your livestock system’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions’

Energy Efficiency No Comments »

*I wylio’r fideo Cymraeg – https://youtu.be/cP70mjNujlM

Welsh farming practises are amongst some of the most sustainable and efficient in the world relying on abundant grass and rainfall and non-intensive methods. There is however more room to ‘get greener’ to reach the #NetZero target by 2050.

Here our Red Meat Technical Officer, Dr Non Williams explains how introducing certain measures into your farms practises can mitigate the GHG’s produced. Additional benefits include improved efficiency of livestock production resulting in increased profitability.

Reduce Carbon Emissions With Oilfield Electrification

Energy Efficiency No Comments »

Oil and gas companies are electrifying assets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support ESG goals. Using an integrated EPC approach delivers fewer operational upsets, speed to market, and cost efficiency and savings. https://hubs.li/Q01gybwQ0 #OilfieldElectrification #OilfieldESG #OilfieldEPC

Simon Palacio:
The oil and gas industry has been one of the largest non-nation targets for activists seeking greenhouse gas emissions reductions in the world. Oil and gas is one of the biggest polluters in the world. So exploration and production companies have to maintain an ESG portfolio and show efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, just in order to have access to capital, to find new fields, drill new wells, and build their infrastructure. Greenhouse gas reductions is not just good for the environment. It’s good business as well.

With mounting environmental pressures driven as a means of access to capital and pressures to reduce lease operating expenses, exploration and production companies have been pushed to electrify all of their assets at almost all pieces of oilfield equipment out there, whether it be pumps or drill rigs can be electrified. Oilfield electrification is the comprehensive process that includes everything from pre-capital consulting through commissioning and closeout. We’re transitioning the power source of upstream oil and gas production assets, like your rigs and your drills from fossil fuels, which have been primarily gas and diesel to the electric grid, renewable power.

The ultimate goal of oilfield electrification is to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions in what has been a very traditionally fossil fuel equipment-driven process. Burns & McDonnell is the only EPC firm in the industry that’s offering it as an all-inclusive program. This partnership is going to bring oil and gas companies, greenhouse gas emissions reductions, fewer operational upsets, speed to market, cost efficiency and savings, routine flaring reduction, and it’s going to support ESG goals. We value a deep trust in our partnerships that has proven to deliver lasting results since 1898.
