    Bitcoin is poised to blow up Africa's $86 billion banking system

    By Kak Keane

    Published Mar 26 

    Since its inception in 2008, this unfamiliar form of money has alternatively been disdained as an absurdly complex toy for libertarian techies, a legalized form of gambling, a speculative bet to get rich quick, and a vehicle for criminals and fraudsters to obscure the origins of their ill-begotten gains. But this parallel financial system can also serve a tangible social good, offering an onramp to the financial system for people who would otherwise be left out. In countries where the vast majority of the population is unbanked, national currencies are no longer a safe store of value, remittances comprise a hefty portion of GDP, and international sanctions complicate connections to the global economy, a virtual currency that doesn't require an intermediary to approve transactions can be a vital lifeline for survival...

    Why is Demand for Geothermal Power Shooting Up Globally?

    By Mark Tyson

    Published Jan 3 

    With the growing demand for renewable and clean energy, on account of the escalating pollution levels and depletion of fossil fuels, the demand for geothermal energy is rising rapidly across the world. Moreover, due to the increasing focus on energy security and energy independence, many governments are enacting policies for encouraging the adoption of geothermal energy. For instance, the European Union (EU) aims to achieve at least 20% of their power needs with renewable energy sources by 2020, under the Renewable Energy Directive (RED). Additionally, many countries are taking initiatives such as focusing on launching geothermal energy projects, for reducing their oil imports, which is also fueling the expansion of the geothermal power market... Economies such as Germany, China, Australia, France, Portugal, and Ethiopia are making huge investments in geothermal energy, thereby offering immense opportunities for capacity expansion of geothermal energy plants...

    The Ultimate Guide To Biorefinery

    By Mark Tyson

    Published Dec 21, 2022 

    A biorefinery is a building that combines machinery and processes for converting biomass into fuels, electricity, and high-value chemicals. A biorefinery is comparable to the modern petroleum refinery, which converts crude oil into a variety of fuels and products... It can generate energy and process heat simultaneously using CHP technology for its own needs and maybe enough to sell electricity to the nearby utility... The European Union alone established a goal of having at least 20% of its total energy consumption met by renewable energy sources by 2020 in accordance with the Renewable Energy Directive (RED)... Benefits of Biorefineries · Provides for the country's energy demands by manufacturing a range of fuels· Efficiently generates its own electricity· Provide the chance for both the agriculture and forestry industries to experience economic growth...

  • Cool roofs with high solar reflectance for the welfare of dairy farming animals

    Authors: G Santunione, A Libbra and A Muscio

    Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd

    Journal of Physics: Conference Series, Volume 796, Number 1

    Ensuring livestock welfare in dairy farming promotes the production capacity of the animals in terms of both quantity and quality. In welfare conditions, the animals can produce at their full potential. For the dairy cattle the most debilitating period of the year is summer, when the stress arising from overheating induces physiological alterations that compromise the animals' productivity. In this study, the summer discomfort of dairy animals is primarily quantified and the production loss is quantified versus the Temperature Humidity Index (THI), which correlates the values of temperature and relative humidity to the thermal stress. In order to reduce or eliminate such thermal stress, it is then proposed to coat the roof of the stables with a paint having high solar reflectance and thermal emittance, that is a cool roof product. This type of roofing solution can considerably limit the overheating of stables caused by solar radiation, thus providing a positive impact on the animals' welfare and improving significantly their productivity in summer.

    Photo: Thermal image (left) and visible picture (right) acquired in summer of 2013 on a pig shelter roof in the province of Modena, Northern Italy: the roof on the left side, uncoated, has surface temperature in excess of 60°C, while the roof right side, which was coated by a white cool roof paint, remains at a temperature around 30°C.

    Solar Greenhouses generate Electricity and Grow Crops at the same time, UC Santa Cruz study reveals

    The first crops of tomatoes and cucumbers grown inside electricity-generating solar greenhouses were as healthy as those raised in conventional greenhouses, signaling that "smart" greenhouses hold great promise for dual-use farming and renewable electricity production.

    "We have demonstrated that 'smart greenhouses' can capture solar energy for electricity without reducing plant growth, which is pretty exciting," said Michael Loik, professor of environmental studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and lead author on a paper that appears in the current issue of the American Geophysical Union's journal Earth's Future.
