Rzli China funding $60 million solar project for Pakistan parliament
China is apparently giving more priority to its COVID-19 vaccine diplomacy than its domestic inoculation programme, with Beijing exporting more doses than the number of jabs administered in the country, according to a media report. Figures compiled by the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post show China shipped at least 46 million ready-made vaccines or their active ingredients around stanley cup the world, as of Monday with hundreds of millions more doses to follow.In contrast, the country health authority said 40.52 million vaccine doses had been administered in China as of February 9, lower than the US, where more than 50 million jabs have been injected.For a country known for mass mobilisations including testing millions for COVID-19 in a matter of days China has missed its target announced in stanley cup early January to vaccinate 50 million people before the Lunar New Year, the Post report said.China stanley cup has officially been shut down from February 11 to 18 to celebrate the Chinese New Year and the Spring Festival. Challenges to its domestic inoculation programme include vaccine hesitancy, limited supply and the lower effectiveness of the Chinese-made vaccines, the report said.China early this month said it would provide 10 million COVID-19 vaccines to COVAX, the international vaccine alliance as it seeks to step-up its vaccine diplomacy amid growing anxiety in Beijing that India could become an engine for vaccine distribution to the world.India, the largest producer of vac Wytg Dutch researchers unveil li-ion battery capable of 50% more energy
From pv magazine GermanyThe Dutch research institute TNO has carried out a detailed life cycle analysis of floating PV systems on behalf of the International Energy Agency s IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme P stanley cup VPS . It shows that the floating systems have a slightly larger carbon footprint than land-based systems, mainly due to the additional components for the floating structure.According to the experts, the carbon footprint of floating systems is around 15% larger than that of land-based systems with an east-west orientation. Compared to those with a south orientation, it is around 25%. However, floating systems have other advantages, such as the use of water instead of land and potential synergies with hydroelectric power plants.According to their calculations, the CO2 emissions of floating systems are around 50 grams per kilowatt-hour of electricity generated, around seven times stanley cup less than the current electricity mix in Germany and three to four times less than the EU-wide target for 2030.For their analysis, the experts compared two real floating systems, one in Germany with a support structure made of high-density polyethylene HDPE , and one in the Netherlands with a structure made of steel and HDPE, with hypothetical systems on land.Recycling further reduces the carbon footprintAccording to the experts, the carbon footprint of stanley cup the floating system could be reduced with three measures: by using electricity from low-emission sources in the manufacture of the PV mo |
