Renewable energy vs money As we all know that the cost of green energy production is significantly high at the moment which will make the return on investment extremely long from profitability point view, companies will be forced to add up funds in order to survive the high cost of operations and materials, I think governments and stakeholders now should focus on how to scaleup production in order to bring the cost down, and the only way this can happen is by investing in R&D and pilot projects where is the renewable resources is. building an electrolysis technology in the countries where production will take place is crucial in this development. new technologies need to be invented with economic commercial solutions. Why is that important climate change is serious threat to our existence if we do nothing about it the plant will not be save place for future generations How is this going to happen,by people who get inspired like the wright brothers when they build the first airplane in bicycle shop and they weren’t engineersr they never attended university,they only had a dream of changing the world. What we need to produce is system that works efficiently and continuously with high performance the long journey begins with one step towards the future For those how looking for money in sustainability It is not about money it is about changing the world

☀️♻️Are solar panels hazardous waste? Officially, whether solar panels are considered hazardous waste depends on a proper waste determination. Misclassifying hazardous waste as non-hazardous can lead to hefty penalties while over-classifying non-hazardous waste as hazardous could waste valuable resources and increase liability for your company. To determine if your solar panels qualify as hazardous waste, you must complete a waste determination. This involves either representative sampling and analysis of the waste stream or using generator knowledge, such as information from the original equipment manufacturer or the recycler. If the waste exceeds regulatory thresholds, it must be managed under hazardous waste regulations. Handling solar panels as hazardous waste may trigger more stringent storage, labeling, segregation, and disposal requirements, so it’s crucial to ensure an accurate classification. Keep in mind that electronic waste, a term sometimes associated with solar panels, is not clearly defined in US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, adding complexity to the determination process. Hazardous waste risks related to solar module recycling are best avoided by using the Hazardous Secondary Materials exclusions. That is how we handle your panels at Solar eWaste Solutions, helping your company steer clear of risk. Are you unsure if your facility is handling your panels with full compliance?

I represented Hydrovolt at the International Energy Agency (IEA) workshop on the importance of batteries in the transition to clean energy early this week. My key highlights on battery recycling are: - Technology: the development of new technologies will affect the unit economics of recyclers. As the current NMC and LFP batteries will mainly be recycled in 10 to 15 years, recyclers must identify alternative avenues if nickel and cobalt cease to be essential components for battery manufacturers, as is the case today.  - Reuse: It's encouraging to observe the integration of EV battery reuse in numerous ESS projects. Creating a sustainable battery value chain must include both reuse and feedstock available for recyclers to ensure the supply of recycled materials. This will be essential for battery manufacturers to achieve the targets related to critical raw materials the European Commission sets. - Waste handling: To scale fast, battery recyclers need standardized waste categorization and efficient transport regulations across Europe. Transport of waste batteries and black mass must not become a bottleneck. Thanks a lot to the International Energy Agency (IEA) for inviting Hydrovolt and to other participants for the insights they shared! https://urlz.fr/pJAX

Understanding Carbon Credits, RECs, and ESCs: Paving the Way to a Sustainable Future 🌿 🏢🌍 we believe that taking decisive steps towards environmental stewardship is crucial for a greener and more sustainable future. Today, we shed light on the key differences between Carbon Credits, Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), and Energy Savings Certificates (ESCs) to empower our network with knowledge of these vital sustainability tools. Let's explore their unique contributions to combating climate change! 🏢🌍 🍃 Carbon Credits: Carbon Credits, also known as Carbon Offsets, are a market-driven approach to mitigating carbon dioxide emissions. They work on the principle of "offsetting" emissions by investing in projects that reduce, remove, or avoid an equivalent amount of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. These projects can be in renewable energy, reforestation, or energy efficiency initiatives, among others. By purchasing Carbon Credits, companies and individuals can neutralize their carbon footprint, contributing to the global fight against climate change. 🌞 Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs): RECs are a powerful mechanism to promote the growth of renewable energy sources. When a renewable energy generator, such as a solar or wind farm, produces electricity, it also generates RECs. These certificates represent the environmental attributes of the clean energy produced and can be bought and sold separately from the actual electricity. Purchasing RECs supports the growth of renewable energy and incentivizes businesses and utilities to invest in cleaner power sources, reducing their reliance on fossil fuels. 💡 Energy Savings Certificates (ESCs): ESCs, on the other hand, focus on energy efficiency initiatives. They are an innovative approach to encourage businesses and industries to reduce their energy consumption. When a company implements energy-saving projects or technologies and achieves energy efficiency improvements beyond regulatory requirements, they earn ESCs. These certificates can then be traded in the market, creating a financial incentive for organizations to prioritize energy conservation measures and contribute to overall energy sustainability. 🌎 Embracing Synergy: While Carbon Credits, RECs, and ESCs serve different purposes, they all share the common goal of promoting sustainability and mitigating the impacts of climate change. By integrating these mechanisms into sustainability strategies, companies can create a holistic and impactful approach towards reducing their environmental footprint. #carboncredit ENHANCED BIO FUELS AND TECHNOLOGIES (INDIA) PRIVATE LIMITED
