Title Solar cell technology and applications
Author:
Author: A.R. Jha.
Energy experts predict that wholesale electricity prices could easily rise 35 to
65 percent by 2015. Add to this the growing need for energy independence
and the need to reduce carbon emissions and it is very clear that the
development of low-cost renewable energy, such as solar energy, is essential
for our economy and our national security. With the potential for low-cost,
renewable energy that can create jobs while reducing our dependency on
foreign oil, solar cell technology provides a very attractive and plausible
option

worldwide. First generation biodiesel has been used in national markets for
some time, with fuel quality standards in place for this purpose. There remain,
however, several restrictions to a sustainable and long term market
development, which is influenced by many factors, including food vs. fuel
pressures. The development of advanced biodiesel, aimed at more sustainable
and effective feedstock utilization along with improved processing routes for
increasing production efficiency and fuel quality, represents the future for this
