China, one of the most polluted countries on the planet, is working to eradicate or at least reduce pollution within the country. To achieve this, programs have been implemented that have helped reduce the concentration of fine particles in the air by 35% in just four years. The country achieved this by forcing all urban areas to reduce concentrations of fine particle pollution by at least 10%. For example, in Beijing pollution had to be reduced by 25% and the city allocated 120 billion dollars to achieve it. In addition to this, China has experimented with other methods to produce renewable energy and thus help the planet. Among these actions is the road paved with solar panels, a road made with plastic-covered panels that line the road. This is a project that could have an impact on the renewable energy sector and also on the experience of drivers. Generating electricity along highways and streets, rather than in fields and deserts, can help save money, because roads run through and around cities, and the electricity could be used almost right next to where it is generated. Which means that there would be no loss when transporting it.
Solar highway to generate energy: innovation in China In order to preserve the solar panels on the roads, they must be repaved from time to time, an action that entails great cost. According to information from The New York Times, light-emitting diodes embedded in the surface of the cell can serve to provide illuminated Argentina Mobile Number List signs that direct drivers to exits or alert them to construction zones and other traffic hazards. The cost of a solar panel now costs a tenth of what it did ten years ago. Companies building roads in China even want to design solar roads that can wirelessly charge electric cars as they travel. Its location is still being tested, but it is on a long curve at the base of a hill and was chosen for its proximity. China's leaders in solar road development are Pavenergy and Qilu Transportation. The two companies are collaborating in Jinan, Shandong province. Pavenergy and Qilu's main rival is Colas, a French road construction giant that has developed twenty-five experimental solar highways and parking lots, mostly in France, but also in Canada, Japan and the United States. Costs of roads with solar panels Solar highway to generate energy: innovation in China Solar highways are more expensive than asphalt, costing about $120 per square meter to repave and repair every ten years.
Data from the NY says that the blue silicone in solar cells, the component that generates electricity in the panels, can support the weight of several tons. But the cells, which are almost as thin as paper, break when folded, like a thin sheet of sugar. Although this is not a big problem in China, where highways are built with very thick concrete bases that would prevent these fractures. Additionally, a solar road can produce about $15 a year of electricity per square meter of solar panels.In Mexico the use of straws is as common as breathing. These small and "insignificant" instruments significantly damage both the flora and fauna of our planet. It takes approximately 100 years for each straw to degrade, so avoiding them is the best option. Data from the World Economic Forum assure that by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the sea, which is why it is of utmost importance to modify our consumption practices, especially with straws. In our country, in Veracruz, a bill was recently approved that contemplates the prohibition of the use of plastic bags and straws in commercial establishments in the state. It will not be until November 2018 that the law comes into force, however, it is the first state in the Republic to ban straws . In addition, various initiatives have been launched to combat the use of straws or the modification of the material used in the straw. Biophase is a clear example of this. Avocado straws: invention of a Mexican company Biofase is a Mexican company that discovered that with avocado seeds there is the possibility of creating straws that degrade in 240 days and not in 100 years, like plastic ones. The company is dedicated to the manufacture of biodegradable plastic.
