Large-scale green grabbing for wind and solar photovoltaic development in brazil




HIGHLIGHTS
  • What: The study provides a detailed assessment, both quantitatively and spatially, of the scale of green grabbing for wind and solar PV park areas. The authors assess the land tenure situation of the parks to shed light on various control grabbing dynamics. The authors show European actors, such as the Italian Enel SpA and Actis LLP from the UK, are driving large-scale appropriation and control of land for wind and solar PV parks, acting as direct owners. The authors focus the analysis on identifying different schemes of land appropriation and claims for the expansion of wind and solar PV parks, rather than alternative land-uses.
  • Who: Posted Date September et al. from the Green grabbing, large-scale land appropriation, wind power, solar PV, Brazil Institute of Sustainable Economic Development, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences have published the paper: Large-scale green grabbing for wind and solar PV development in Brazil, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
SUMMARY

    The authors also show that land privatization is the prevalent land tenure regime for securing access to and control over land, indicating significant transformations of prior (undesignated) public land. With one exception, i.e. comparing public land in solar PV parks to control areas, the p values of the t-tests are well below 0.001 when testing differences in mean between the park areas of wind parks and solar PV parks compared to all types of control areas, confirming that the groups have different types of land regulation patterns. 8-9% of the total wind park area has no information on private ownership, and overlaps with some form of public land (2%) or undesignated public land (7%). For wind parks, there are two control groups: one randomly chosen area, and another area, where the authors match the wind resource quality of the wind park area to the control area. undesignated public land. While the authors observe that VRES parks are built on higher shares of private land with legal property titles than found on control areas, does this imply that public or undesignated public land has been privatized for that purpose? Almost half of all privatizations in wind park areas and one-third of all privatizations in solar PV park areas have taken place after the first investment, further strengthening the case that land areas have been privatized because of wind park development. The difference in land tenure regulation between solar PV parks and wind parks cannot be explained by the fact that spacing areas for solar PV parks are low, while they are high @@

Exploring the bilayer approach to analyzing lead-free perovskite solar cells` numerical aspects for high efficiency

HIGHLIGHTS What: According to this paper a volume lead-free perovskite structure is quantitatively investigated using 1D solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS) software. Developing the proposed device structure in an experimental environment is the aim of this preliminary study. In this work, the amphoteric defect with uniform energy distribution above the absorber layer`s Ev was investigated. Who: Shahid Farhan et al. from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Government College University, Pakistan have published the research: Exploring the Bilayer Approach to Analyzing Lead-Free Perovskite Solar Cells` Numerical Aspects for High Efficiency, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) Future: The expected results of this research are expected to provide significant perspectives for the future research and manufacturing of lead-free PSCs with an emphasis on their commercial feasibility. SUMMARY Transport layer (ETL), a perovskite absorber layer, and a hole transport layer (HTL) a...

Can europe recover its photovoltaic manufacturing capacity?

HIGHLIGHTS What: Figure 2 below illustrates the changing dynamics of the global PV market, and the influence of the Chinese PV market, 2 For the purpose of this report, IEA PVPS countries are those that are either member in their own right or through the adhesion of the EC. but also the fast pace of growth in India and emerging countries. Who: Melodie de l`Epine from the Japan Japan have published the Article: Snapshot of Global PV Markets -, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 23/04/2023 Future: Repowering is still relatively unusual given the age of the oldest installations but it is expected to increase in the near future – serial defects with backsheets manufactured in the period 2009 – 2011 is a good example as the past 2 years have seen a few hundred MW replaced. As penetration rates increase new governance models compatible with market and climate policy driven deployment targets will need to be established to ensure PV can be smoothly deployed. SUMMARY Fc PVPS Task 1 ...

A panorama of brazilian social housing research: scope, gaps and intersections

HIGHLIGHTS What: The SR process was developed following four steps (Barat et_al, 2017; Cahyo, 2021) presented in Figure 1: (a) research motivation: the state of the art of Brazilian SHs was the research motivation. The results of this analysis are presented in Results and discussion item; and_(d) analysis and synthesis: existing studies developed in Brazil were identified and contextualised. Who: Social Housing. MCMV. Housing et al. from the Universidade Estadualvulnerability of low-income populationsHowever, studies developed in Brazil have published the research work: Ambiente Construído: resiliente e sustentável, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) How: Strings and sample analysis are presented in Figure 2. Future: In the absence of changes in the production of SH in which public authorities and users could lead the main decisions on design and location many of the recurrent problems will be repeated in future projects. SUMMARY The aim of SLRs is to gather empirical studies...
