Electromobility - Science topic

Is it possible to shift the whole of motorisation in Europe to electromobility by 2035, i.e. to implement the European Union's plan under which, after 2035, no new combustion-engine cars will be registered and put into service, and only zero-emission vehicles, i.e. electric and hydrogen vehicles, will be registered?

By 2035, will there be a significant drop in the price and increase in the uptake of e-fuels, i.e. synthetic fuels produced from water or hydrogen extracted from the air in a production process powered by renewable and emission-free energy sources?

The green transformation of the automotive industry is one of the key components of the green transformation of the economy, with the aim of building a sustainable, zero-emission, green closed loop economy as quickly and efficiently as possible. A key objective of the green economy transition is to slow down and possibly halt accelerating global warming and reduce the scale of the global climate catastrophe, which, according to long-term climate change models, could already occur by the end of this 21st century. The green transformation of motoring is primarily about the development of electromobility and hydrogen-powered vehicles through the application of available green technologies and eco-innovations in the development of electromobility, hydrogen-powered vehicles, zero-emission production of hydrogen and other e-fuels, the development of zero-emission energy sources, a high level of recycling of electric vehicles, and the activation of this process through the increase of government subsidy programmes within the framework of green finance, the introduction of tax credits to mobilise business for green investment projects, the introduction of new pro-climate and pro-environmental regulations, etc. In order to activate pro-environmental business processes and to activate operators to join the green transformation of the economy, specific calendars for the said green transformation processes of the economy are enacted, including the pro-climate and pro-environmental transformation of the car, rail, river, sea and air transport sectors. In many countries of the world, the rail transport sector is already 100 per cent or mostly converted to electromobility. Other segments of transport are mostly dominated by vehicles, ships, aircraft powered by internal combustion engines that burn high-emission fossil fuels. So there is still a lot of work to be done on the green transformation of the various transport sectors. In March 2023, the European Union Parliament adopted a plan to restrict the purchase of internal combustion cars after 2035 as an important motivating factor for the development of electromobility, i.e. the development of emission-free motoring. An evaluation of the development of electromobility in the European Union and an assessment of the feasibility of this plan is to be carried out in three years' time. The following exception was added to earlier drafts of this regulation: synthetic fuels produced from, for example, water or hydrogen extracted from the air on the basis of zero-emission production of these fuels, i.e. by using electricity generated from renewable and zero-emission energy sources in the hydrogen production process. Such solutions for the production of e-fuels and their use in powering motor vehicles will be permitted in the European Union after 2035. In the government-controlled meanstream media in the country where I operate, there has been the usual misinformation about the European Union's climate policy. Under the current plan, it will not be possible to register a car with an internal combustion engine powered by petroleum refining derivatives. Well, the possibility of buying and registering cars with combustion engines will not necessarily be prevented after 2035, because it will not be economically viable to buy a new car with such an engine after the restrictions have been introduced. According to current forecasts of electromobility development, it will not be economical to buy an internal combustion car after 2035, because after 2035 these types of vehicles will be the most expensive due to additional punitive charges that will be imposed by the state on car companies that still want to produce these types of internal combustion vehicles. There will be no restrictions or limitations for the purchase of vehicles powered by e-fuels, i.e. synthetic fuels whose combustion process will be emission-free. Technologies for the production of e-fuels based on water, hydrogen drawn from the atmosphere, the process of producing these e-fuels using electricity from large-scale renewable and emission-free energy sources already exist, but are expensive for the time being. But as there is still more than a decade to go until 2035, so there is enough time to adequately refine these technologies and make them widespread so that they become much cheaper. A rapid decline in the price of these new green e-fuel technologies over the next few years is possible. In the past, an analogous process has occurred for other green technologies. For example, the cost of photovoltaic technologies has fallen by almost 99 per cent in the three decades to 2019. In addition, the scale of restrictions on driving in certain public places, mainly in city centres for internal combustion vehicles, will increase in the coming years. Already, more and more cities are closing their city centres to combustion cars, starting with restrictions on this issue for cars powered by diesel and manufactured many years ago, as such cars are the most polluting and emit toxic chemicals, toxic especially to children.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the Honourable Community of scientists and researchers:

Rising fossil fuel prices, energy prices are increasing interest in the development of renewable energy sources, increasing pressure to increase energy independence and diversification of energy sources, the application of new energy technologies in economic activities, eco-innovations that generate savings in the consumption of fossil fuels, switching to more energy-efficient means of transport, to electromobiles. In this way, the current energy crisis may perpetuate trends already underway, which are an offshoot of the long-term developing climate crisis. The pro-environmental trends of scaling up the implementation of sustainable development goals, the implementation of eco-innovations and green energy technologies into economic processes, which have been developing as important elements of the green economy, counteracting the progressive process of global warming and the worsening climate crisis are now being exacerbated by the developing energy crisis. The growing pro-environmental and pro-climate awareness of citizens may also force a change in the business models of tourism companies, which will increasingly enrich their tourism service offers with sustainability, pro-environmental, pro-climate, environmental protection issues, including, among others, through the use of emission-free energy sources, electromobility vehicles, etc. The effect of such pro-environmental processes may also be to add issues of sustainability, pro-environmental action, climate protection and planetary biosphere protection to the missions of tourism companies. The effect of such paradigm shifts and business models may be to change the standards of the means of transport used in tourism, increase the use of zero-emission transport and thus accelerate the pro-environmental transformation of tourism. Perhaps the consolidation of such processes in the years to come will increase the scale of development of green, sustainable tourism.

In view of the above, I address the following research question to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:

In many countries, in individual regions and urban agglomerations, tree planting projects are currently underway as part of afforestation programs for civilization-modified areas. In some countries afforestation of civilizational modified areas is considered one of the most important instruments to neutralize the negative effects of greenhouse gas emissions. The main premise of this thesis is the fact that certain species of trees and shrubs absorb significant amounts of CO2 and improve microclimate and water management in surface layers of soil. However, according to the results of scientific research in a situation of high greenhouse gas emissions, afforestation will not solve the problem of global warming. If in a given country, in a given agglomeration the majority of households, motor vehicles and enterprises from the energy sector relies on burning of minerals, the emission of greenhouse gases is so high that afforestation may reduce this emission to a very small extent. In this situation, apart from afforestation, other projects should be developed that will enable the implementation of the principles of sustainable, pro-ecological development based on the concept of a new, green economy. These other pro-ecological undertakings include, first of all, the development of renewable energy sources, increasing the efficiency of waste segregation, recovering secondary materials, development of electromobility in the automotive industry, development of programs for implementation, implementation and financing of eco-innovations, such as the construction of small household ecological power plants based eg on installing house roofs photovoltaic panels replacing stoves, in which often poor quality minerals are burned, etc. Therefore, afforestation does not solve the serious problem of global warming but should be developed as one of many instruments to reduce the negative greenhouse gas emission effects.

In addition, it is particularly important to protect existing forest resources, including natural forest ecosystems characterized by high biodiversity, and therefore a high biological value, such as rainforest, tropic rainforest of the Amazon. However, this is only an example of the largest, existing natural forest ecosystem on Earth. All other such ecosystems should be under strict protection and should be excluded from the predatory, devastating forest exploitation economy, i.e. harvesting timber from these natural forest ecosystems, because in the context of the problem of global warming they are one of the most important, most valuable resources of the planet Earth.

In view of the above, the current question is: Can the afforestation of civilization-modified areas significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

Research question for discussion: What should be done as part of the pro-environmental policy to significantly accelerate the process of falling prices of ecological products as well as pro-environmental raw materials and prefabricated products?

Unfortunately, more and more research results confirm that the process of global warming is accelerating and that the development of civilization in the last 2 centuries is responsible for these unfavorable climate changes. On August 9, 2021, on the basis of the analysis of 14,000 scientific papers, the sixth IPCC Report "Climate Change 2021: the Physical Science Basis" was published, i.e. a report summarizing the current and predicted climate changes prepared by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change operating at the United Nations. This is another Report on the issues of climate change, the progressing global warming process, the adverse effects of this process, civilization greenhouse gas emissions responsible for the ongoing climate change, predictive modeling of future climate changes and the impact of these changes on the biosphere and human civilization. The above-mentioned IPCC Report shows that without a rapid reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the next 20 years, the accelerated process of global warming will continue. In such a situation, the temperature will increase by 1.5 degrees Celsius by around 2040, not 2050 as previously thought - compared to the state at the beginning of the first industrial revolution. As a result of this acceleration of the global warming process, in 2-3 decades the feedback will be activated and the processes of global warming will be accelerated. An additional negative effect will be the entry of the accelerating process of global warming into the phase of irreversibility of this process. In order to slow down the progressing global warming process and the growing risk of a climate catastrophe threatening humanity, which may occur in the next several dozen years, it is necessary to quickly reduce greenhouse gas emissions to the point of complete reduction and capture excess CO2 from the atmosphere. According to the mathematical forecasting models for long-term forecasting of climate change, this plan should be implemented within the next dozen or so years. If this plan to quickly implement the pro-environmental transformation of the economy is not implemented, then in the coming years, climate warming will further limit food production, the frequency and scale of droughts and forest fires will increase, soil sterilization in arable lands will increase, and the scale of the migration crisis will increase, the process of extinction of flora and fauna species will accelerate, which will mean the continuation of the rapid decline in the biodiversity of natural ecosystems, etc. Therefore, humanity has little time to counteract the climate catastrophe, save the biosphere, climate and itself. Due to the growing risk of a global climate crisis occurring in the next several dozen years, it is necessary to quickly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is necessary to eliminate the key factor of the growing risk of the emergence of a global climate crisis, which is the civilization emission of greenhouse gases causing the accelerating process of global warming. We already know what to do in this matter. The main determinants of the implementation of the greenhouse gas emission reduction plan include the pro-environmental transformation of the energy sector through the development of renewable energy sources, the development of electromobility based on, inter alia, on hydrogen power, afforestation of civilization degraded areas and reconstruction of devastated forest complexes, pro-environmental transformation of agriculture through the development of sustainable ecological agriculture, etc., and other pro-environmental measures to achieve the goals of sustainable development and to carry out a pro-environmental transformation of a classic growth, brown economy of excess to a sustainable, green, zero-emission economy of growth zero and closed circuit. The process of pro-environmental transformation of the economy could take place much faster if the prices of ecological products were much lower than at present. If the process of pro-environmental transformation of the economy is to be efficiently carried out within the currently dominant economic systems based on the social market economy model, it is necessary to drop the prices of ecological products faster, i.e. such as electric and / or hydrogen-powered cars and other types of motor vehicles powered by hydrogen, photovoltaic panels, energy storage batteries, agricultural products produced as part of sustainable organic farming, home installations of renewable energy sources, devices for capturing CO2 from gaseous waste emissions installed in enterprises, etc. Currently, for example, electric or hydrogen-powered cars, home installations of photovoltaic panels, etc. are unattainable for a citizen with an average income level. In connection with the above, what processes should be started, the implementation of which sustainable development goals should be scaled up as part of pro-environmental state intervention in order to significantly accelerate the process of falling prices of ecological products as well as pro-environmental raw materials and prefabricated products? What should be done as part of the pro-environmental policy so that in the next years there is an increase in production and a significant decrease in the prices of organic products and raw materials? What legislative changes should politicians implement to meet citizens' expectations regarding the urgent implementation of the pro-environmental transformation of the economy, including accelerating the process of falling prices of organic products and raw materials?

Will the technologies of electric motors and the new generation of batteries installed in cars and other motor vehicles be developed in the scope of the main directions of development of electromobility of the automotive industry? Will the technology of hydrogen engines or other types of engines be developed as part of the development of eco-motorisation? At present, in the majority of countries, there is no financial resources for financing high-budget pro-ecological projects from public finance funds? Should new, new ecological innovations, new technological solutions in the field of renewable energy sources, new ecoelectrodes producing electricity for the needs of electromobility in the automotive industry, new generations of batteries, photovoltaic panels, energy storage and transmission stations, hydrogen and other engines, etc. be created that the production and use of electricity generated from renewable energy sources becomes profitable, that it becomes a profitable business, that electromobility will become more and more profitable, profitable, and the prices of electric cars drop significantly? If this process lasts for a long time, there may be a shortage of time to implement the necessary reforms aimed at disseminating in the global economy a model of sustainable pro-ecological development based on the concept of green economy. If this process lasts much longer than by 2030, there may not be enough time to carry out the necessary reforms to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and, consequently, the planet's warming process will accelerate considerably, this process will be irreversible and will continue to accelerate and towards the end of the 21st century will lead to a global climate disaster that threatens the life of all humanity and most other forms of life on Earth.

In view of the above, the current question is: What are the main directions of the development of electromobility of the automotive industry?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

Will the development of autonomous cars be correlated with the development of electric cars?

Will these technologies be developed in parallel?

In the future, will a significant part of autonomous cars also be electric cars?

Is it only when the production of electric cars will multiply, popularize and be bigger than cars powered by an internal combustion engine, then only will the price of an electric car fall below those versions that are powered by traditional technology of burning minerals? Do other factors also determine this?

More and more car companies are introducing versions of some models of produced electrically powered cars into production, ie they are becoming part of the increasingly global trend of electromobility. However, electric cars are still much more expensive than those powered by an internal combustion engine. In some countries, the state pays a significant part of the purchase of an electric car.

An interesting issue is that pro-ecological technologies have been known for a long time but have not been introduced to mass production. When the production of cars started at the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century, then electrically powered specimens appeared at that time, but mass production was not developed as part of the development of electromobility, but this method of power supply was replaced with internal combustion engines. Unfortunately, it took 100 years to finally take the issue of electromobility seriously.

In view of the above, I am asking you the following question:

Has the classic economy lost its relevance to the energy market and therefore whether the process of necessary proecological reforms in the energy sector involving the replacement of energy sources, ie classic energy sources based on burning minerals for renewable energy sources should be coordinated by the state as a pro-environmental interventionist anti-crisis state?

Still at the end of the 21th century, in many publications written in the convention of classical economics, theses were formulated that energy should be shaped by the mechanism of market-harmonizing sides of demand and supply. However, this philosophy concerned classic energy based on the combustion of minerals. Mineral energy deposits in certain parts of the world are determined for several decades of extraction.

If the development of mining technology allows to reach and extract energy from deeper deposits than currently exploited and decks located under the sea and ocean bottoms, such estimated deposits would allow mining of these deposits in some places of the world for much longer than 100 years. However, humanity can not wait so much for pro-ecological reforms in the energy sector and the slow process of switching to renewable energy sources, which is happening in some countries, including the largest economies in the world, the largest emitters of greenhouse gases.

Currently, the philosophy of the energy sector is starting to change. Now the obvious issue is the need to quickly implement pro-ecological reforms without contemplating the depleted energy resources of the Earth's crust. This wait could take about 100 years or more than 100 years in many countries and this is too long, because at the end of the 21st century, according to climate change analysis, drastic climatic catastrophes will occur due to the predicted acceleration of the global warming process in the following decades.

According to the published and presented results of climatologists' research during the recent UN Climate Summits and Conferences on the problem of progressing global warming process, unless by 2030 at the latest the world will not show the classic energy based on the burning of minerals for renewable energy sources and motorization for electromobility and there will be no appropriate improvement of segregation waste and recycling, by the end of the 21st century, the average temperature at the Earth's surface will increase by 3-4 degrees Celsius globally, and the scale of climate cataclysms and weather anomalies will increase many times in relation to the current state.

In view of the above, the world can no longer wait for the depletion of energy minerals. This issue, which is particularly important for humanity and life on Earth, can not be left to the market mechanism and classical economy, whose philosophy has long been undermined, already in the period of the Great Depression of 1929-1934 it was demonstrated that Keynsovian state interventionism is needed to bring the economy out of the deep economic crisis if the liberalized private sector led to a crisis and the economy quickly does not return itself to balance and high economic growth on the basis of self-acting market mechanisms.

We currently have a similar situation. The world inevitably aims at increasing climatic cataclysms caused by the accelerating global warming process. these unfavorable processes for humanity and life on Earth will become a source of intensification of migration of people from subtropical areas, on which it will be impossible to live and live in a few dozen years due to high temperatures and droughts. In addition, there will be economic crises resulting from the global warming process. Humanity has no time to put off the necessary pro-ecological reforms for the future, these pro-ecological reforms in the energy sector need to be implemented now and it should be a process coordinated by the state in the context of pro-environmental anti-crisis state interference.

Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?

In view of the above, I am asking you the following question:

In my opinion, such factors as effective waste segregation, recycling, reduction of plastic packaging, development of renewable energy sources, electromobility in motorization, afforestation, architectural ecological innovations, etc. are one of the most important factors to enable real implementation of sustainable pro-ecological development based on a new, green economy.

In view of the above, I would like to ask you: What are the key determinants of the implementation of sustainable pro-ecological development according to the concept of green economy?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion

A significant part of the pro-ecological reforms as part of the transformation of the energy sector and the development of renewable energy sources is carried out by private companies.

However, these are usually undertakings not resulting from market processes only from changing legal norms established by the state administration.

In addition, the construction of large nuclear power plants, water plants and the type of large wind and solar farms absorbs huge financial resources with predicted relatively low profitability.

Therefore, private enterprises are not interested in investing in the development of large power plants that produce electricity under renewable energy sources if the state does not provide financial support under financial guarantees and a share in investment costs.

The development of electromobility in the automotive industry in some countries is also supported by the state to a large extent.

In some countries, the state from the budget funds of the central public finance system refinances a significant part of the costs of purchasing an electric car and finances the development of the necessary infrastructure of electric vehicle charging points deployed on the streets and arteries.

Therefore, the development of renewable energy sources, ie the key element of the pro-ecological transformation of the energy sector, should be coordinated organisationally and financially supported by the state.

In the context of increasing emissions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and the ever-faster global warming process, the pro-ecological transformation of the energy sector should be carried out as soon as possible.

It is not possible to implement proecological reforms in the energy sector and implement ecological innovations in other sectors of industry as well as wait for the resources of energy (hard coal, lignite, oil, natural gas) to run out.

This process can not be left solely to the market mechanism within the framework of classical or neoclassical economics.

In order for an environmentally-friendly transformation of the energy sector to be effected efficiently and as soon as possible, a significant share of financial support from the state is indispensable.

Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?

The analysis of differences in the scope of Renewable Energy Policy in individual countries should take into account the scale of the share of the oil refining and refining industry in the entire national economy. The large share of the oil industry in the domestic economy may generate analogous large-scale lobbying of the industry on the government, on policies on shaping a specific direction of development of this sector in a given country. This lobbying may concern, for example, the deliberate slowing of energy sector reforms in the scope of pro-ecological needs. This type of conservative policy may not take into account the needs of reforming the energy sector, including the development of renewable energy sources, ecological innovations in renewable energy technologies, ecological material innovations, etc. The development of electromobility or the development of power supply technologies based on hydrogen engines should also be added to this issue. oxygen or other environmentally neutral technologies. Such reforms are necessary in the 21st century in connection with the need to reduce greenhouse gases in order to slow down the progressing global warming process, ie the increase of the average annual temperature on Earth. In the 21st century, it is necessary to develop a new green economy in the context of the forthcoming fourth technological revolution, known as Industry 4.0.

The issues of lobbying the oil industry to slow down energy sector reforms is one of the major problems of modern economics, specifically the issues of sustainable development with the emphasis on ecology, the impact of industry and classic energy sources on the natural environment. This issue is particularly important in the context of climate change, global warming, rising average temperature on the Earth, the progressing greenhouse effect of the Earth and the related new climate disasters is probably the most important topic for discussion, research and human action in the 21st century.

The topics related to the greenhouse effect on Earth, which are the subject of discussion, are particularly important and scientifically important and in the context of human life.

In the context of this issue of lobbying of the oil industry affecting the governments of countries, there is an important issue for discussion in the field of economic development of the world in the 21st century.

Therefore, I am asking you with an important question: Does the issue of oil industry lobbying affecting national governments in order to slow down energy sector reforms be a serious problem and a brake on pro-ecological reforms in the energy sector and the development of, for example, electromobility?

Please reply. I invite you to the discussion

Humanity has reportedly only had a decade of time for the necessary changes in the energy sector to avoid a global climatic catastrophe

Much has to change in consumer awareness, business must change and different social groups should force policies and change legal regulations. It is necessary to develop co-financing of investment projects in the field of renewable energy sources by the state from public funds. In addition, businesses must see this business. The development of renewable energy sources should be profitable, and it is not because it is cheaper to mine minerals, to devastate the natural environment. It is cheap to run classic energy based on mineral combustion because this classic energy and mining industry of hard and brown coal, oil refinery industry, automotive industry of vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines etc. is not burdened with the costs of natural environment devastation, costs of treatment of people who suffer from due to poor air, smog and no negative effects of global warming. If the mining, energy, processing and automotive industries were burdened with these costs, then it would not be worthwhile to devastate and pollute the natural environment. Then it would be more profitable to develop energy and industry based on renewable energy sources. Inventions of electricity have over 100 years of history. 100 years ago, electric cars should be produced, but the oil business this scenario of more sustainable development has crossed out. Therefore, for over 100 years, archaic energy based on the burning of minerals has been developed. During these 100 years, the average temperature of the Earth's surface has increased by 1 degree ° C. From specific scientific studies, it appears that humanity is only 12 years left to make the necessary changes, to switch energy and industry to renewable energy sources and the automotive industry to electromobility, to reduce poor quality of stoves and domestic ovens, on the development of large and small, home solar, wind and other power plants. At the same time, investment projects in renewable energy sources should be widely developed and entire economies should switch to sustainable pro-ecological development according to the concept of a green, new economy. If during this time these changes are not implemented then the average temperature of the Earth until 2030 will increase by another min. 1 degree ° C and then in the following years the greenhouse effect will accelerate and the problem of global warming will become an irreversible process, which will mean the widespread apocalyptic climate disasters covering most of the Earth's surface before the end of the 21st century.

In view of the above, the current question is: Can we still avoid a global climatic catastrophe and what should be done to avoid it?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

In my opinion, the development of the necessary infrastructure and security stabilities is of key importance for the development of autonomous cars technology, so that the development of autonomous cars technology and the increase in the number of autonomous cars does not increase statistics on the number of road accidents.

In addition, the development of autonomous cars technology can be paralleled to the development of electromobility. For the development of electromobility and the number of used electric cars, it is also necessary to build the necessary infrastructure installed on roads, urban streets and interurban arteries of communication charging points for batteries into electricity.

In some countries there are active policies for the development of electromobility, under which the state from public finance funds pays extra to purchase an electric car and invests in projects to develop the necessary infrastructure for charging points in electricity. Other power plants are also being built as part of the development of renewable energy sources, because the development of electromobility is causing a significant increase in electricity demand. Unfortunately, this pro-ecological, active policy for the development of electromobility is carried out only in some countries.

Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?

Why, despite the scientifically confirmed fact that the global warming process is progressing faster and faster in many countries, so little is done in terms of necessary proecological reforms and implementation of ecological innovations and development of energy based on renewable energy sources, development of electromobility, plastic reduction from packaging, improvement of waste segregation and development recycling?

Due to the accelerating process of global warming, it is necessary to increase expenditures on the development of eco-innovations, their industrial implementation and accelerate the implementation of necessary pro-ecological reforms, first of all development of energy based on renewable energy sources, development of electromobility, plastic reduction from packaging, development of biodegradable applications materials of organic origin, improvement of waste segregation processes, development of recycling, organic farming, zero-energy construction and other key aspects of sustainable pro-ecological development carried out according to the concept of green economy, etc.

Probably the future of humanity depends on the next decade. If, over the next few years, renewable energy sources replacing traditional energy based on the burning of minerals are developed on a massive scale, it might be possible for humankind to avoid a climatic catastrophe in the 21st century. The international climate agreement that currently (December 2018) concluded in Katowice in Poland may be a late and insufficient agreement, because most countries do not intend to develop high-budget projects for the construction and development of power plants based on renewable energy sources. In addition, changes in the automotive industry, changes leading to the development of motorization in the direction of electromobility are too slow. The problem is serious because it concerns the future of all humanity in the perspective of the next two to three generations, yet the necessary changes and reforms in the implementation of economic principles of sustainable pro-ecological development are too slow. With the current pace of changes, there may be a shortage of time to implement the necessary pro-ecological undertakings, and then the problem of global warming will become an irreversible process and will constantly accelerate!

In view of the above, the current question is: Probably the future of humanity in the 21st century depends probably on the next dozen or so years?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

What kind of scientific research dominate in the field of Sustainable pro-ecological development of the global economy?

Probably the future of humanity depends on the next decade. If, over the next few years, renewable energy sources replacing traditional energy based on the burning of minerals are developed on a massive scale, it might be possible for humankind to avoid a climatic catastrophe in the 21st century. The international climate agreement that currently (December 2018) concluded in Katowice in Poland may be a late and insufficient agreement, because most countries do not intend to develop high-budget projects for the construction and development of power plants based on renewable energy sources. In addition, changes in the automotive industry, changes leading to the development of motorization in the direction of electromobility are too slow. The problem is serious because it concerns the future of all humanity in the perspective of the next two to three generations, yet the necessary changes and reforms in the implementation of economic principles of sustainable pro-ecological development are too slow. With the current pace of changes, there may be a shortage of time to implement the necessary pro-ecological undertakings, and then the problem of global warming will become an irreversible process and will constantly accelerate!

In my opinion, additional taxation of enterprises in order to obtain funds in this way for the development of renewable energy, development of eco-innovations and reduction of environmental pollution is not the best solution. A better solution is to generate high economic growth based on the successively introduced model of sustainable green economic development implemented according to the green economy concept.

It is necessary to conduct reliable, honest, ethical business and social responsibility of business socio-economic policy while educating the public on the need to implement the necessary pro-ecological reforms in the energy sector as soon as possible by developing renewable energy sources, developing electromobility, efficient waste sorting technologies, improvement recycling, zero-energy construction, elimination of plastic from packaging and conversion to biodegradable plastics, etc.

Then, using such a reliable social and economic policy, it would be possible to extend the periods of host growth in business cycles to generate budgetary surpluses. In the situation of budgetary surpluses in the state budget, a significant part of them should be allocated for state financing of investments in large infrastructural pro-ecological projects, such as nuclear power plants, wind farms, solar panels based on photovoltaic panels and other based on renewable energy sources.

After many years of running this type of pro-ecological socio-economic policy, certain technologies that allowed for the development of ecological innovations and their implementation on an industrial scale will gradually become, and after their dissemination, production costs of certain devices such as household mini-power plants producing renewable energy on the basis of renewable energy. Energy sources will be available for most families living, for example, single-family houses or multi-family housing estates. On the other hand, by popularizing these pro-ecological technologies, companies that produce specific ecological products will generate revenues and profits.

In view of the above, in this way the new green economy will become profitable and will be a kind of a new epoch of the neoclassical economics model enriched with pro-ecological goals and functions. In this way, initially through a centrally planned system, through state intervention in a mainly market economy, through a national pro-ecological socio-economic policy, a new model of the economic system will be built after years, which will function objectively within the framework of sustainable green economic development.

What actions should be taken to remove or replace these barriers to the chances of developing renewable energy sources?

Are the main barriers to the development of renewable energy sources the lobbying of enterprises in the energy sector producing electricity and heat based on traditional energy of burning minerals? Is there a lack of financial resources in the majority of countries regarding the financing of high-budget pro-environmental projects from public finance funds? Should there be new, new ecological innovations, new technological solutions in the field of renewable energy sources, electromobility in the automotive field, new generations of batteries, photovoltaic panels, energy storage and transmission stations, hydrogen engines, etc. to produce and use electricity generated on the basis of renewable source of energy has become profitable to become a profitable business? If this process lasts for a long time, there may be a shortage of time to implement the necessary reforms aimed at disseminating in the global economy a model of sustainable pro-ecological development based on the concept of green economy. If this process lasts much longer than by 2030, there may not be enough time to carry out the necessary reforms to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and, consequently, the planet's warming process will accelerate considerably, this process will be irreversible and will continue to accelerate and towards the end of the 21st century century will lead to a global climate disaster that threatens the life of all humanity and most other forms of life on Earth.

In view of the above, the current question is: What are the main barriers to the development of renewable energy sources?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

How should new economies be developed according to the green economy concept with which instruments and pro-ecological policy reforms should be developed to make it possible to achieve globally sustainable environmentally-friendly economic development in the next years?

How effective green economy philosophy should be developed in a pro-ecological socio-economic policy in order to solve key development problems of human civilization, ie environmental pollution, effective and quick in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and thus slow down the ongoing process global warming, activation of the development of electromobility, renewable energy sources, development of organic agricultural production, development of production of biodegradable packaging, etc.

In view of the above, I am asking you: How should green economy be developed to allow for a globally sustainable pro-ecological economic development?

Innovations in energy technologies are being developed, technologies for renewable energy sources, electromobility, waste segregation, purification of contaminated water in rivers, ecological material innovations, eg replacement of plastic packaging for biodegradable materials, etc. are developed and improved.

All this constitutes an element of systemic sustainable pro-ecological economic development based on the concept of green economy.

Thanks to the dissemination of systemic sustainable ecological development in the future, it will be possible to slow down the unfavorable warming of the Earth's climate and increase the scale of environmental protection and biodiversity.

Dissemination of systemic sustainable ecological development in the near future can save the planet Earth, many species of plants, animals and people from destruction, which may occur at the end of the 21st century, if the above-mentioned pro-ecological reforms are not introduced universally, globally, ie in all countries.

Do you agree with my opinion?

In connection with the above, I would like to ask you:

According to you, which eco-innovations are the most important for future protection of the environment and biodiversity?

Which ecological innovations do you think should be developed universally and to the greatest extent possible?

Please reply

What is the role of particular social groups in disseminating the concept of sustainable pro-ecological development based on the concept of a new, green economy?

The role of engineers is particularly important for enabling sustainable development, including sustainable pro-ecological development, based on the concept of a new, green economy. Engineers create new technological solutions, new energy technologies, ecological innovations, innovative ecological buildings, develop renewable energy sources in industry and other applications, create automation technologies for waste segregation, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, develop electromobility, carry out investment projects to reclaim a devastated natural environment, etc. Apart from engineers, the key actors are the state as an economic entity and financial institutions, ie the main actors of external financing of environment-friendly investment projects, thanks to which sustainable sustainable development based on the concept of green economy is enabled and implemented. The role of politicians who set the direction of the necessary systemic changes is also important. Also important is the role of citizens who within the civil and information society are increasingly aware of the threats to the growing risk of climatic cataclysms that are a derivative of the progressive global warming. The role of mass media and new online media is important, including social media portals, thanks to which the level of social awareness for this type of important problems, particularly important in the 21st century, important for humanity, for the whole planet Earth is growing.

In view of the above, the current question is: What is the role of particular social groups in the dissemination of sustainable pro-ecological development based on the concept of a new, green economy?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

When comparing, for example, solar and atomic energy, many significant differences can be shown.

Solar energy is safer than nuclear energy. There are no environmentally hazardous radioactive waste in solar energy. In addition, solar power plants can be of any size, while nuclear power plants are usually very large investments and require huge financial outlays for the construction of a modern nuclear power plant.

But besides, many other energy technologies are being developed, energy innovations are being developed in the field of renewable energy sources, such as wind, water, or sea waves. In addition, geothermal energy and the development of energy storage technologies. This is an important issue because the consumption of electricity is growing in many developing countries. In the future, electricity consumption may increase even more when electromobility starts to spread, ie electric cars will be produced and sold on a massive scale.

In view of the above, I am asking you: Which type of energy should be developed in the future?

Please reply

Power engineering, communication, and motorization are among the key branches of the national economy. The economic situation of the domestic economy depends to a large extent on the situation in these sectors.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop modern, innovative and ecological technological solutions, including in the field of electromobility.

I invite you to the discussion on determining the importance of the development of innovation, the activation of entrepreneurship, the development of new technologies in electromobility, construction, energy, other branches, areas of economy and industry.

In addition, there is much talk about the need to implement modern IT and Internet solutions in the activities of enterprises and public institutions. There are discussions about the need to increase expenditure on the development of new, innovative solutions and modern IT systems in medicine.

The 21st century is also to be the next stage of progress in agricultural production based mainly on biotechnology and ecology with successive reduction of commonly used chemization.

It is also to be the age of profound changes in the energy sector, conversion of traditional energy sources based on the burning of minerals to modern technologies of renewable energy sources in order to create diversification of energy sources, increase safety and reduce environmental pollution.

In many areas of industrial production and provision of services, artificial intelligence plays an increasingly important role, and on the Internet the development of data processing technology in the cloud, data analysis on Big Data platforms and business intelligence.

The dynamic development of electromobility may lead to the fact that in a few years the purchase of an electric vehicle will involve a comparable expenditure on an analogous vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine, but the operation will be many times cheaper, and the use of cars will not involve environmental pollution.

Also in medicine, there will be major changes in therapies for the treatment of various diseases, including the development of non-invasive surgery and the reduction of chemotherapy replaced with medicinal techniques without unnecessary poisoning of the body with pharmaceuticals.

The next stages of development of the Internet, mobile banking and creating new solutions in the field of data transfer security in the Internet are also planned.

In the 21st century, many changes await us. In view of the above, a key question arises. Whether new, innovative technologies in the field of ecology, reclamation of the environmental industry, waste management, recycling of industrial waste, development of renewable energy sources, etc. will allow for the future construction of national and transnational economies operating under sustainable development with specific, moderate economic growth or perhaps in the future it would be possible to create national economies and a global economy characterized by a fully balanced development of "zero growth".

It would be an ideal state, perhaps a truly unrealistic state of multi-criteria balance of the global economy. However, striving for this state of full balance of the global economy will or should be the greatest challenge of human development in the 21st century.

The question arises: what major determinants can enable the evolutionary process of reaching this state of a balanced global economy?

Will innovative, ecological technologies enable achieving sustainable development of national economies and the global economy?

First of all, these new innovative, ecological technologies should be economical, they should successively be replaced by more and more economic innovative, ecological technologies, ie less and less expensive, generating ecologically clean energy and consuming less and less raw materials.

Is the concept of achieving by the world economy a fully economically and ecologically balanced state of "zero growth" is a utopia or a real possibility of human survival on Earth in the XXII and subsequent centuries, it will turn out in the future.

However, nowadays it is important to precisely diagnose the key determinants that allow to reach this state.

This is important now because a lot of scientific data indicates that the time for the implementation of this plan is less and less due to, for example, the greenhouse effect on Earth related to the still growing greenhouse gas emissions and the observed warming of the climate and the increasingly disastrous climatic catastrophes.

I invite You to the discussion.

When the depletion of minerals, classic energy sources such as oil, hard coal and lignite, natural gas will generate market high increases in prices of these commodities on commodity exchanges?

In this question I point to economic issues and not speculative ones. Investment funds and large energy corporations are buying forward contracts for the supply of these raw materials.

The investment risk is high and the possibility of price forecasting is not easy considering the speculative transactions of investment funds and a number of non-economic factors, such as political factors in the production of crude oil.

However, in a few dozen years some of these minerals may start to run out. Until then, the economy should determine the creation of other energy technologies, ecological innovations in the field of energy and substitutable energy sources, mainly based on renewable energy concepts.

So when are the non-economic determinants influencing the energy prices on the wholesale exchanges, the commodities will be replaced and replaced by economic determinants?

When the scale of depletion of these minerals will affect the prices of these raw materials, it will increase the prices of these minerals and in this way will accelerate the process of creating eco-innovations and renewable energy?

In view of the above, I am asking you: When the depletion of minerals, classic energy sources such as oil, hard coal and lignite, natural gas will generate market high increases in prices of these commodities on commodity exchanges?

I am planning to carry out EMSA and gel shift assay technique for few promoter variations found by DNA sequencing ..

Is there such an existing kit or maybe electrophysiology experiment ?

I am aware of the Novolink polymer detection system kit, Leica Biosystems. But I would like to know about other vendors for the same kit that might be better than this one. 

Thanks,

As 32p looks kind of dangerous and complicated to apply the protocal, is there any alternative method for this kind in vitro phosphrylation?

Thanks 

Can you shed more light on the project?

I prepared blocking solution and RNA probe afresh but the same faint shift keeps on coming. To check whether the detection system is working  I performed the detection system check with same RNA probe  & there I get a nice shift. However, the problem persists when I do a gel shift with same probe.  If anyone is using this technique (RNA gel shift) please share your opinions/suggestions. 

My lab does EMSA by using radioisotopes, but now we want to do EMSA without radioisotopes. Is there anybody who can share their experiences about non-radioisotopes EMSA.
