MIT researchers have figured out how to make solar cells with old car batteries

2015-12-24 13:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

BGR: Heres a clever technological breakthrough that could help the environment in two ways. MIT announced this week that some of its researchers have figured out a way to make solar cells using parts from discarded car batteries that would otherwise have simply gone to waste. Essentially, the researchers have figured out how to extract lead from old car batteries and use it as a component in solar cells that they say are just as efficient as solar cells produced with high-purity, commercially available...

China to cut on-grid tariffs for solar, wind power: state planner

2015-12-24 03:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Reuters: China will cut payments to wind and solar electricity generators for contributing power to the grid, the country's state planning commission said on Thursday, reflecting recent declines in operating costs. Starting in 2016, on-grid tariffs for solar producers will be 0.02 to 0.10 yuan lower per kilowatt-hour - with the higher cuts applying in the country's less populated, arid western region - while tariffs for wind power generators will fall 0.02 to 0.03 yuan, the National Development and Reform...

Solar technology: the US and China look to Australian innovators for solutions

2015-12-23 23:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Guardian: In the last fiscal year, Australia earned $172bn from international sales of its natural resources. But earnings are decreasing. The office of the chief economist estimates that energy commodities earnings declined by 6% to $67bn last year because of a decline in revenue from coal exports, and that exports of refined petroleum products have declined by an average of 11% a year over the last decade. There are hopes however, that Australia could bolster its position by developing its exports of...

China to Cut Wind, Solar Power Prices as Construction Costs Fall

2015-12-23 21:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Bloomberg: China will cut the preferential rate it offers wind and solar power developers to reflect the decline in construction costs. Tariffs for newly-built onshore wind farms will be cut by as much as 4 percent in 2016 from current levels and by another 6 percent in 2018 from 2016 tariff levels, according to a statement posted on the website of the National Development and Reform Commission. Reductions for new solar power projects will be as much as 11 percent in 2016. China had been mulling the tariff...
