PLA, or polylactic acid, is a biodegradable plastic made from renewable sources such as corn starch or sugar cane. PLA has many advantages over petroleum-based plastics, such as lower greenhouse gas emissions, higher biocompatibility, and better mechanical properties. However, PLA also has some drawbacks, such as high cost, low thermal stability, and slow degradation rate, which limit its applications and environmental benefits. #PLA #BiodegradablePlastic #GreenTech

even without updating my linkedin page, I've received by email two job offers as a Researcher or Scientific Coordinator in two different green tech areas. Both because some person on my contact network told them I was "available". Funny things happens when you least expect them. One of those is very interesting but outside Portugal. Shame #greentech

"The ship(#PyxisOcean) , chartered by US shipping firm #Cargill, has been retrofitted with two #WindWings – large steel sails 37.5 meters (123 foot) tall, designed by UK company #BARTechnologies and produced by industrialization partner Yara Marine Technologies.

The wings are expected to generate emissions savings of up to 30%." #WindPower #SailingShips #GreenTech

caramba, esta propaganda sobre economia circular nos media já começa a ser demais. Tenho que iniciar um canal de YT para desmontar o exagero da treta? Escrever um blog? Ninguem vai ler como aconteceu com o nosso blog sobre Sustentabilidade que esteve a funcionar até 2010. Entretanto, a green treta continua sem contraditório. This is not the way #greentech

Researchers at Tohoku University in Japan have made a breakthrough discovery that could unlock the potential of zinc-air batteries as a powerful, cost-saving alternative to lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles. Zinc-air batteries have high energy-storage capacities and a comparatively low cost of production, but their lower power output has limited their use in advanced applications. #ZincAirBatteries #ElectricVehicles #GreenTech https://www.thecooldown.com/green-tech/zinc-air-batteries-lithium-ion-evs/

Lead with the economic and job benefits and refrain from talking about the #ClimateCrisis.

Interesting article in the NYT yesterday on how green technologies are becoming more widespread in the US even in conservative areas where many don't believe in climate change.

According to the article, the key to encouraging green tech adoption (surprise, surprise) is to appeal to people's wallets – not their altruism.

💻 Switching to #GreenTech means I can no only work with software companies who are named after plants or trees. Sorry, I don't make the rules. #DevEx #OpenAPI #APIDeveloper https://apisyouwonthate.com/blog/generate-typescript-rest-api-client-fern/

I've interrupted the #greentech toots for now as I'm now in vacation and moving as well between jobs. I will continue doing research in Green Engineering in spite of leaving academia. Professional citizen science. I will also start a new initiative related with Green Tech Design but that is still in the works. More news on that in the following months. In the meantime, never forget , green technologies are the future but it's not as easy as you think. Greenwashing and ignorance is all around

🚐 Got my van back from the useless people of Wessex Garage Nissan Cribbs. Found a better garage for Wednesday.

🚴 Got Ritchey the Backup back from the bike shop. Ordered remaining bike parts (chain and cassette) for next day delivery.

lots of common mistakes on energy needs in fossil fuels vs renewables. Lots of thermodynamics and transport phenomena ignorance from both sides. Not to mention complex systems, but that is already too much for heads that think about needs instead of transport or point-of-use vs storage #greentech
