GC: n CT: A circular economy is an alternative to a traditional linear economy (make, use, dispose) in which we keep resources in use for as long as possible, extract the maximum value from them whilst in use, then recover and regenerate products and materials at the end of each

CG : nm CT : Électrification par énergie solaire photovoltaïque. Les photopiles sont constituées de matériaux semi-conducteurs (généralement silicium) qui transforment directement la lumière du rayonnement solaire en énergie électrique. Les particules de lumière (photons) viennent heurter les électrons sur le silicium et lui communiquent leur énergie. Le silicium est

GC: n CT: Nearly every aspect of our daily lives – heating, lighting, cooking, communications, transportation, commerce – depends on electricity. Unfortunately, generating that electricity through the use of traditional fossil fuels can be economically and environmentally costly and a danger to public health. Electricity generated with fossil fuels, such

GC: n CT: Clearcutting means the felling and removal of all trees from a given tract of forest. One forestry expert refers to the practice as «an ecological trauma that has no precedent in nature except for a major volcanic eruption.» Clearcutting can destroy an area’s ecological integrity in a

GC: n CT: The Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) provides a clear and up-to-date view of the current state of scientific knowledge relevant to climate change. It consists of three Working Group (WG) Reports and a Synthesis Report (SYR) which integrates and synthesizes material in the WG reports for policymakers. The

GC: n CT: Biomass is relatively cleaner than coal and is the only renewable carbon resource that can be directly converted into fuel. Biomass can significantly contribute to the world’s energy needs if harnessed sustainably. However, there are also problems associated with the thermal conversion of biomass. This paper investigates
