Strange Goop Resolves Sticky Perovskite Solar Cell Problems
The Canadian startup XlynX aims to improve perovskite solar cells with a new advanced adhesive.Clean energy investing is finally beginning to rise faster than fossil energy investing, a global trend that the International Energy Agency attributes to affordability and security advantages. The US is among the leaders for now, but that could change as anti-science politicians carry out their mission to shut down the nation’s pipeline of energy innovators.
In addition, IEA includes grid projects, energy storage, and energy efficiency investments in the 24% forecast along with fuels classified as “low-emission.” All of these can involve an element of fossil sourcing. Nuclear energy also made the cut, which is arguably does not meet the affordability and security benefits ascribed to clean energy.Overall, IEA emphasizes that fossil fuel investing is still soul-crushingly out of sync with climate goals, especially for coal.
Yikes! On the bright side, IEA draws attention to the impact of solar energy investing on power generation. “Led by solar, low-emissions electricity technologies are expected to account for almost 90% of investment in power generation,” the agency states.
