Exploring the potential impact of household photovoltaic systems on low-carbon production behavior in rural areas … – Frontiers
1 Introduction China, as the world’s largest carbon emitter, is projected to reach a carbon emission of 110.39 billion tons by 2022, accounting for 28.87% of global emissions (Datasets, 2022). In light of this severe situation, Chinese leadership expressed his concerns as early as 2020. During the 75th United Nations General Assembly, President Xi Jinping announced China’s targets of peaking carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, known as the “dual-carbon goals.” To achieve these objectives, China has submitted its nationally determined contributions (NDCs), which explicitly state…

Growing greenhouse veggies with a side of solar power – hortidaily.com
In the search for sustainable cultivation systems, many have been looking at agrivoltaics providing a dual use of agricultural land for agriculture and renewable energy production. However, the main hurdle of this tech is getting the balance between electricity and crop production right. This prompted the establishment of the REGACE project, funded by Horizon Europe, which aims to investigate the combination of the TriSolar tracking system with CO2 enrichment. “The TriSolar system is an agrivoltaics, crop responsive solar tracking system installed inside greenhouses whose goal is to optimize growing conditions…
