two hundred years of fossil fuels
will lead us to a dead end
global warming
pollution levels in the oceans
cities are reaching the limit of what
the planet can bear the question that
I want to address here today is like the
can help solve this problem.
problem
energy consumption in the world is
growing rapidly in the
The last 25 years has grown more than 60%
to grow 43% in the next 25
only this growth is equivalent to
800 itaipu plants
how will we generate all this energy but
fossil fuels
technology can not bring
more innovative solutions to generate
them the energy we need
solar energy is the future
the most abundant source of energy one year
installation on earth is equivalent to
consumption of the planet for one year
many of you have heard these
affirmations
but how can we truly compare the
solar source with the other sources
this graphic can do this from a
simple form
it shows availability of each
existing energy
on the left side of fuels
fossil coal natural gas oil
and it will be over
on the right hand side the annual
each of the small renewable sources
blue dot is quite hydraulic
relevant in Brazil is more limited in
world we have the wind with great
potential and has grown a lot in Brazil
and finally to solar with two thousand and 800
times the current energy consumption
conclusion
if we are to reduce our dependence
of fossil fuels
we need to invest heavily energy
solar
in fact with approximately 5% of the area
from the desert of sahara
we can generate energy for the whole
planet and the good news is that Brazil
is a very privileged country in
photovoltaics and energy only
the whole territory of the country in a
the installation area on the
Brazil is 40% better than the improvement in
Germany
so we decided to create a comparison
of solar potential
we developed a metric and potential
solar simple account only
multiplying the average inflation of
each country by the area and then select
four countries to compare a
Germany is relatively small and has
little insolation between the four
countries has two percent of the
solar potential
the Brazil is large and has a lot of
insolation 71%
now let’s compare with solar energy
effectively installed in each of these
Germany four countries have 82 per
one hundred in Brazil 10
It seems to me a great deal
opportunity
Do you agree in Brazil with the area?
equivalent to 60% of the lake of furnas
we can generate electricity for
all residences in the country
why not use this area is
underutilized to generate energy and
save water
So how did I get involved in this challenge?
in 2011 was living several
years in the uk working
precisely with innovation and launch
high-tech products in the
Marketplace
I was invited back to Brazil to
face this dream
in the beginning he was one of five people in a
bh center room a power point in the
hands
We think how we can get into this game.
let’s invest in technologies
are already more
established or seek technologies
still in development but with greater
growth potential
we decided that the best option is
invest in the future is to invest in
crop technology
it was really a bet for the future
we also evaluated that for success the
photovoltaic technologies in cities
besides efficiency and cost is very
important design is some product that
added value of constructions and that
could easily be installed in the
existing structures
we understand that the future of energy
photovoltaic panel is the pv panel
Organic photovoltaic a panel
printed on flexible and lightweight plastic
with varied colors and semi transparent
here in this roll we can generate the energy
five medium-sized residences for
generate equivalent energy a panel
traditional we would be of 700
panel at the lowest weight brings several
benefits
now let’s see some other advantages
of technology pv has first one
low-cost production process
it is basically a printing
similar to newspaper printing
according to the use of low energy in
manufacturing
pv panel requires ten times less
energy to be manufactured than the
traditional panels and so it is
photovoltaic technology greener than
exists in third the use of materials
abundant in nature
the ink we use to transform
light in electrical energy is a
polymer based on carbon
the hydrogen so it is called
electronics and organic photovoltaic
Furthermore we do a process of
printing new inks more efficient
which are being developed as the
written test may be printed on the
same equipment that we already have as
make this dream come true
it was important not to reinvent the wheel
we hired excellent scientists
engineers and technicians from brazil together
with professionals from several countries
experience in technology
we have reached 11 nationalities
working with us
this is not the tap had 30 people
we also need innovators in
infrastructure and resources
we need to improvise
our first laboratory was in a
deposit boxes that we have to
reform did not have enough energy
to turn the equipment on then
we rented a generator
development has come to be
interrupted due to lack of diesel in
generator
the research manager wants from england
he found the kind of challenge that
we faced our second and
current laboratory was also a
abandoned building that finally
become one of the largest and most
modern clean room structures of the
Brazil
Okay, but what is the problem with PV?
this technology solves
although traditional panels are
very important for the growth of
photovoltaic energy in the world
it has some limitations to
application in large urban centers
also has a design not so
attractive
in the case of PV we envisage a future
where the whole city will be generating
photovoltaic energy a concept that
we call energy is vile and all
surfaces can generate energy
the facades of buildings will generate
energy
In addition, pv reduces the incidence of
infrared rays and with this the use of
air conditioning
this building will be inaugurated in January
in São Paulo
the office may leave because it will not
to put a flag of Brazil generating
solar energy on the facade of the ministry
of mines and energies
after all we can print in various colors
and what about the PV in the car while reducing
fuel consumption and the emission of
co2
when parking in the sun it can keep a
fan running and so the car
will have a greenhouse when you come back
at lunchtime to direct it
in fact there are several other
applications
this video illustrates a bit how
we see the structure completely
diverse or
with 15 companies that are large
[Music]
single embassies gasoline copy voice
the code in addition to Qualcomm in a
football stadium and because it does not
energy in copacabana beach
[Music]
The imagination is the limit
I believe and to reduce our
dependence and fossil fuels
innovation and technology are the best
form and solar energy and pv are
in this solution in the future.
I hope people do the following
ask with so much solar energy
available because they still used the
polluting fuels to generate
energy and how technology can help
this can help resolve this
problem
We’re going to print clean energy.
thank you so much
[Applause]
