SDG7

We are pleased to present The Roadmap for a Green Hydrogen Economy in Trinidad and Tobago.

The publication is the product of months of collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) on behalf of the Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries.

Sustainable Energy For All

"The project is currently road-testing its technology in the Caribbean and Mexico, and is inspired by the ideas of Prof Victor Smetacek, a marine biologist. Described by Seafields as their Scientific Founder, he has long been fascinated by the potential to grow seaweed in enormous rotating ocean currents known as gyres."

Climate change: Can an enormous seaweed farm help curb it? A British businessman believes it could suck a billion tonnes of carbon out of the atmosphere annually.

"In developed countries, recycling — not reuse and resale — tends to be the kneejerk response to managing such waste. But there are two problems with recycling unwanted solar panels. First, doing so is far costlier than simply landfilling them. Second, waste panels often aren’t waste; they’re just degraded by time in the sun or less efficient than newer models. They may not be good enough for San Francisco homeowners and cutting-edge utilities, but they work perfectly well for anyone in a sunny climate in need of stable, off-grid power who doesn’t want to pay full price."

Used Solar Panels Are Powering the Developing World An overlooked niche in the energy trade is keeping high-tech waste out of the trash — and helping to connect millions of people to reliable electricity.

"Along with flexible working hours, malleable building design can help to keep indoor workers healthy. In offices, workstations that are pushed up against windows could be moved away from sources of heat during the summer.

While air conditioning is necessary in some places, it shouldn't be the default everywhere. As energy-hungry air conditioners worsen climate change and will strain electricity systems in some places, climate experts promote more passive cooling options to improve ventilation."

How to keep your cool when the office heats up Buildings that are too hot are bad for your health and productivity but simple measures can help.
