Samsung Electronics spent to build solar cell production line

South Korean Chosun Ilbo reported that South Korean technology giant Samsung Electronics to spend nearly 400 billion won (32 million U.S. dollars) building a solar cell production line, plans to expand the cause of solar cells.

The report quoted officials saying that the company, located in Seoul to Giheung new plant is expected to be completed in October, production capacity will be 30MW.

Samsung next year will cost nearly 4,000 billion won to expand the production line, the overall production capacity will reach at least 300MW.

Lamborghini for factory installation of solar panels

Recently, the Lamborghini factory in its own plant at the top of the installation area of 17,000 square meters of solar panels, when the end of this year after the project, these solar panels will be able to annually produce 1,582 MWh of electricity.

From the side, and the Lamborghini factory is really insignificant. After all, they produce only a few thousand cars, and only one of the main factory. Lamborghini sports car and is super-powerful sports car, very fuel consumption, so the owner of Lamborghini is rarely used in general. It would appear that Lamborghini total emissions of carbon dioxide is really not much. However, even then, the Lamborghini is continually working to reduce their own carbon dioxide emissions, and they hope to make its own contribution to the environment, but also to comply with relevant laws and regulations.

United Nations Environment Program: China 95% of photovoltaic products for the export market

By the global financial and economic crisis in a serious impact, worldwide investment in clean energy projects are still maintained a growth momentum, largely thanks to China and other emerging economies of wind, solar, biofuels and other sustainable energy projects into the continued expansion of China's investment in renewable energy projects of up to 15.6 billion U.S. dollars, ranking first in the Asia-Pacific region.

According to the United Nations web site reported, the report said China has become Asia's "giant green economy", leading the trend of investment in new energy sources. China in 2008, investment in green energy more than 15.6 billion U.S. dollars, more than 18 percent up in 2007, of which the investment is still the most active wind power and biofuels projects. At present, China has become the world's second largest wind to market. China is the world's largest manufacturer of solar photovoltaic products.

In the solar field, China has become the world's largest manufacturing base of solar photovoltaic products, of which 95% of production for the export market. But the report also pointed out that as a result of the global financial crisis had led to shrinking overseas markets, a considerable portion of China's solar photovoltaic products manufacturer will have to postpone or cancel plans to increase production.

The report predicts that wind energy as the most mature and reliable renewable energy in 2009 will continue to maintain an advantageous position to attract investment. In addition, as the silicon solar equipment prices continued to drop, solar energy project financing in 2009 will increase 71 percent, more investors are welcome.
