#solarpunksunday #solar #photovoltaik #GreenEnergy 6 papers came out this spring and summer about breakthroughs in perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell technology. Perovskite can catch higher energy light than silicon and so improves energy capture/efficiency. Key to the improvements shown in the papers is durability with thousands of hours of field testing in ambient environments as opposed to glove box tests. Papers listed below: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-76713-y https://www.nature.com/articles/s41566-026-01972-6 1/2 ⬇️

"Saudis tell European refiners they’ll get no crude next month" The world has to transition to #GreenEnergy and it is transitioning to Green #Energy (too slowly) But Not like this Sudden major supply disruptions are not easily handled This is an "oh shit" moment And it's not just about #Europe And it's not a one-off Alarmism, like complacency, is a mental trap I don't want to do it However... 😬 https://financialpost.com/commodities/energy/oil-gas/saudis-european-refiners-no-crude-next-month #SaudiArabia #Oil #FossilFuels

For those that keep saying wind turbines can't be reused or recycled need to read this "The analysis found a total 99.9% material recovery – calculating that 79.5% of the wind farm’s components were recycled and 20.4% were reused or retained as spare parts, keeping nearly all material out of landfills." 100% of the recycling and component retention took place in the UK, supporting domestic green jobs and at least 10 supply chain companies. https://www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/uk-first-sees-decommissioning-of-scottishpower-wind-farm-demonstrate-turbine-circularity-01-09-2026/ #renewables #greenenergy

burying the lede? "In addition to the humanoid robots, the FCC also barred connected power inverters, which enable renewable energy sources and batteries to connect to grids and datacenter equipment." US bans humanoid robots from China, citing ‘unacceptable risks’ | Trump administration | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/28/fcc-ban-humanoid-robots-china #greenenergy #greentransition #solar #renewables

Sorry but if you're against wind turbines or against solar or against nuclear power or its waste you're regressive. I try to and hope to be progressive. Doing the stuff the fossil fuel lobby wants from you is regressive. #depol #greenenergy

My father-in-law is a distributor for these solar roofing panels and gifted us some of them for Christmas and we're finally getting the ball rolling on getting them installed. Our roof is in major need of repair so two birds one stone... And we SHOULD be able to produce a surplus due to our South facing roof in the Colorado sun and we're going to put in some backup batteries. I'm so excited to see how this all turns out! https://www.apluspvt.com/ #solarpunk #homesteading

Japan has developed a method to recover up to 90% of lithium from used EV batteries "At the heart of the process is a clever chemical tweak; instead of using standard sodium hydroxide, the team swapped in recovered lithium hydroxide during recycling, which is a white powder. This helps convert battery waste, known as ‘black mass’, into high-purity lithium that can be reused in new batteries. Even better, the process isn’t just efficient, it’s better for the environment too, because researchers say it can cut carbon emissions by around 40 percent compared to conventional recycling techniques." https://tech.supercarblondie.com/japan-recovers-up-to-90-of-lithium-from-used-ev-batteries/ #Recycling #Energy #Lithium #Batteries #GreenEnergy #FossilFuels #Climate #ClimateDiary #CO2
