Energy Transition: Multi-$trillion Ponzi scheme or the biggest tech market ever?Simon Thompson
Background: The conundrum of the oil price
About $100 billion a year is spent by the 5 biggest global oil companies “finding” more oil. Today $300 billion a year is spent on installing renewables like solar and windpower – almost three times what is spent by those oil companies.
But there is no money spent on “finding” new sun, as we already know where the sun is at its brightest. There is also no money spent finding out where it is windiest because we already know.
Oil company valuation
Value = oil price today X assets in the ground minus cost of getting it out
New formula
Value = oil price today (and in the future) X assets in ground minus cost of getting it out of the ground
If oil falls to $30
Value = 20% of oil worth getting out of the ground –value falls by 80%. With debt = worthless
Stop digging for new oil.
If oil falls to $20
Almost zero oil is worth getting out of the ground
So Oil industry = zero less debt - negative
Oil goes to $20 in 2043...

This webinar will address the key drivers of the PV market and industry in the coming years based on the Trends 2020. Gaëtan Masson, Operating Agent of IEA PVPS Task 1, will look at the past developments and future scenarios, from a global market development point of view to some key price evolution features. From social aspects of PV, collective and decentralised self-consumption policies to floating PV, this webinar will browse the global landscape of PV development.
Izumi Kaizuka, deputy chair of the IEA PVPS Task 1, will present the trends of the PV Industry. The production of polysilicon, ingots, wafers, PV cells and modules have been growing with the growth of the PV market. The gap between manufacturing capacity of PV module and the demand contributed to the recent price reduction thus resulted in lower LCOE of PV power. Across the value chain, the PV upstream sector makes efforts to improve efficiency, output and reliability. Further progress of cost reduction is expected. In the downstream sector, players are also applying various methods to reduce LCOE.

Investigations into the lifetime of gas meter batteries in the NetherlandsMachiel Joosse
At 2020 there will be about seven million smart gas meters installed in the Netherlands, using batteries that are supposed to last for about 20 years. The long lifetime of the batteries is crucial, because an operation to replace them would be on a large scale and therefore expensive. Distribution System Operators (DSO’s) have to be able to rely on a lengthy lifetime. The Dutch DSO’s Netherlands (within Netbeheer Nederland), joined forces to carry out a unique study of the predicted and actual battery lifetime. In this study, batteries were examined from gas meters that had already been operating for 4-5 years. The results were promising: after 4-5 years: the actual (practical) lifetime of the batteries examined turned out to be in line with the predicted (theoretical) values.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

Putting the geographic footprint in context, this is about ¾ of the US power system
RES penetration ranges from 5 to nearly 30% and is on a constant rise

Providing both front-of-the-meter and behind-the-meter flexibility access to wholesale markets as individual resources or in aggregate
Economic demand response revenue for curtailment service providers (CSPs) has been steadily declining since 2014 largely due to day-ahead and real-time market activity. Notably, 2014 was a unique year for economic market opportunities due to the polar vortex weather constraints resulting in revenue opportunities for demand response providers.
As a percent of total revenue, synchronous reserves and regulation have replaced the day-ahead and real-time markets as the chief drivers of revenue for CSPs. This is an indication of market opportunity and system changes: CSPs are making a larger portion of overall economic demand response market revenue from the provision of ancillary services, signaling increasing price arbitrage opportunities as a result of changing operational grid needs.
The rush was strong enough to push energy storage to a record year. There were 221 MW of energy storage projects installed nationwide in 2015, a 243% increase from 2014. By mid-year 2016, PJM had about 265 MW of grid-connected storage projects, of which about 160 MW were installed in 2015, and with about 700 MW more under construction or in development.
Settled regulation demand response volume (MWh) has steadily increased year-over-year since 2013.
When compared to 2016, market revenue increased by 69 percent, while volume cleared increased by approximately seven percent.
PJM reports that behind-the-meter battery storage settled 74 percent of the volume (MWh) in the market in 2017, a three percent increase from the previous year. Stationary installations of lithium-ion batteries make up the majority of registered regulation capacity, followed by electric vehicles.
In 2015, behind-the-meter generators provided 15 percent of regulation demand response, dropping to 4 percent in 2016 and then to only 1 percent in 2017.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) defines a DRP/aggregator
“A DRP/aggregator is a commercial entity that provides demand response services such as assisting retail customers with strategies or technology to reduce their electric consumption and then providing the electric load reductions as a ‘bid’ in wholesale energy markets. Some entities focus entirely on working with customers to reduce their electric consumption and paying incentives for their reductions. Such entities are often referred to as “aggregators” and will have commercial arrangements with other entities that specialize in interfacing with the wholesale market. The wholesale-facing entities are called Demand Response Providers (DRPs). Some entities will handle both retail and wholesale transactions. DRPs/aggregators who intend to solicit and serve utility bundled customers must register with the CPUC [these entities are summarized above]. DRPs must also register at the CAISO, sign a Service Agreement with the CAISO, and meet all CAISO’s DRP requirements.”
In Q2 2016 there were only 6 entities registered CPUC DRPs/aggregators: Enernoc, EnergyHub, Ohmconnect, EnergyConnect (now Cpower), STEM, and Greencharge Networks (now Engie Storage). Note, the Demand Response Auction Mechanism (DRAM) pilot began providing demand response in Q2 of 2016.
There are currently 18 DRPs/aggregators registered with the CPUC, 12 of which are registered as DRPs with the CAISO. The number of DRPs/aggregators registered with the CPUC and/or the CAISO has tripled in the past 2.5 years indicating a growth in California’s market for third party flexibility services.
Not all registered entities participate in the CAISO on their own, some are represented by a scheduling coordinator that does the bidding into the market for their portfolio of demand response.
