Unfortunately, this new breakthrough involves #Molybdenum, the mining of which is very polluting. The article does also mention breakthroughs using #perovskite, and hopefully, lead-free perovskite (like those using tin) will be developed... Always ask -- How long will this new technology last? What happens when it becomes obsolete? Are there polluting materials involved?

Since 2016, Lytefire and @worldvision have been building a network of solar bakeries across East Africa.

From cooperatives in Kenya to technical institutes in Uganda, every oven installed means a community gaining independence, trained entrepreneurs, and tons of CO₂ saved.

Swipe to see 10 years of impact with World Vision Kenya and World Vision Uganda. ☀️
