materials and/or more easily mass-produced technologies such as amorphous silicon and to seek to make PVs competitive via installation subsidies only when better echnologies are available. 18. AGEisnotsurewhetherornoteconomicPVinstallationscanbeachievedwith current silicon technologies but it doubts it. They may compete with retail power on good sites but it is very doubtful that they can ever be truly economic against gas, coal or nuclear generation in large-scale use. Moreover, since the scale of PV production is already quite large, supplying as it does the existing off-grid and subsidised on-grid demand, the increased scale of production needed to drive the costs down to where they can truly compete will be enormous and the subsidies required to achieve those sales volumes will be very large too. However, since the subsidy strategy for making cells competitive may be used in some member states, AGE believes that some EU- wide research should focus on trying to optimise current PV systems via R&D on cheap ‘solar-grade’ silicon, crystalline silicon cell and wafer production technologies, balance of systems equipment, control systems for grid connection, safety and reliability issues. 19. But AGE believes that the really important long-term R&D challenge is to find a PV technology concept which is significantly cheaper per unit output than crystalline siliconandlendsitselfmorereadilytomassproduction.Thereisasyetnoclear winner among the various materials being studied such as amorphous silicon, copper- indium- diselenide, cadmium telluride, organic solar cells etc. and for all thin film cells fundamental R&D and new production technologies are required. AGE therefore concludesthatthemainEU–wideR&DpriorityforPVshouldbeonmaterials research linked with device physics and manufacturing technologies for promising thin-film and/or multi-layer PV technologies. (E) Assessment of solar electric (PV) technologies 20. AGE’s evaluation of solar photovoltaics against its standard criteria is given in the table below. The block of ‘excellent’ ratings in the centre of the table indicate why PVs are so highly thought of by the public and politicians. In the north of the EU the problems of inherently low load factors and incompatibility with customer needs (in not delivering power during periods of darkness or bad weather) are probably insurmountable. In the south, the only real obstacle to the wider use of PVs is their cost. 97

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
