Morgan Solar, based in Toronto, Ontario has developed a new solar panel that is ten times more efficient at harnessing solar power.

SimbaX, a silicon reduction technology for standard solar panels, which uses one-third the quantity of cells that go into typical solar panels. This dramatically reduces the bill of materials, which reduces costs. SimbaX uses Morgan Solar’s Simple Planar Optical Technology (SPOT) in an ultra-thin film made from simple commodity components that internally trap and redirects sunlight to convert it to electricity. The structures are thin, highly durable, versatile and very cost effective.

​Our region is the perfect place to manufacture these new solar panels.

Hydroponics has the following advantages: Up to 90% more efficient use of water. Production increases 3 to 10 times in the same amount of space. Many crops can be produced twice as fast.

​Our region has numerous greenhouses using up vast areas of lands that could be better utilized using hydroponics. Water supply for irrigation is an important and problematic issue in our region. The solution is to grow plants in a vertical hydroponic environment.

Biogas technology represents an option to promote the sustainable use of energy in the developing world, particularly in the rural context. However, the production and use of biogas can also occur in urban areas of these countries with potential benefits for their sustainability.

With this project Green Empowerment seeked to increase the quantity of successful, innovative biogas digesters in Latin America by raising the quality of the methods and materials used. After the synthesis of experience, a hands-on Workshop was held in Peru to exchange experiences of biodigesters in Latin America with participants and organizsations from different LAC countries. In a second step, biogas digesters have been installed in five countries (Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Peru).

Through the design exchanges, field installations, and exchange of knowledge, great progress has been made on the original objective. Specifically, 60 new biodigesters have been installed. The capacity of 5 NGOs has been increased, especially in Ecuador since this was the first experience with biodigesters. The materials used have been improved, research parameters developed and unified, and as well new models for social sustainability have been piloted. The greatest outcome of the program has been the formation of Network for Biodigesters for Latin America and the Caribbean.

This non native weed is a major problem in Kale Chapala. Government efforts to eradicate the weed have failed. This concept being used in Africa could be the solution.

Curse To Cure: How An African Man Showed The World How He Transformed WEED Into Fuel

Posted on November 8, 2018 by Omojewho Hope

It is uncommon and relatively unthinkable for individuals to transform something that is negative into a positive thing. In any case, a Kenyan educator has done quite recently that to support the individual from his locale. A Kenyan educator recognized as Richard Awra has turned a weed known as water hyacinths to something that enhances the way of life of a network. The educator utilized water hyacinths to battle the two issues of vitality neediness and plant over-development.

In a meeting with BBC, the instructor uncovered that he understood that the significant issue in the network is vitality destitution. He uncovered that the general population in the network depend on charcoal and lamp oil and he chose to make arrangement utilizing water hyacinth which he portrayed as a danger in Lake Victoria. Kenyan man transforms revile into fix as he concocts biofuel from weeds.

As indicated by educator Awra, the water hyacinths squares angling and makes it outlandish for any action to happen on Lake Victoria. By fighting issues of vitality destitution and plant over-development, Awra could make vitality reasonable for his locale because of the way that water hyacinth isn’t an item of appeal. The Kenya Marine foundation evaluated that water hyacinths secured around 10,360 hectares of Lake Victoria. Richard noticed that he would like to keep on providing this shabby option so families can cook at moderate rates.
