Sun’agri, one of the largest agricvoltaic farms in the world reports that vineyards intercropped with solar panels can increase yields up to 60%.

The solar panels reduce water loss from evapotraspiration and moderate temperature extremes. The microclimate they create decreases plant mortality and promotes healthy, carbon-rich soils.

Dear #fediverse friends - does anyone have solar panels attached to their fence and use it to generate electricity (and be happy to share an image or two)?

I'm working on a website to document different types of #stealthsolar and don't have any images of #solarpanels on fences.

This #GreenConcrete Is Made From #Urine: German Scientists Recreate Sandstone Texture Using Waste in #EcoTech Breakthrough

In a groundbreaking development that could redefine sustainable construction, researchers at the University of Stuttgart have successfully transformed human urine into a robust and eco-friendly bio-concrete, paving the way for innovative building materials that dramatically reduce environmental impact.

The bio-concrete’s chemical composition closely resembles that of natural #sandstone, indicating a harmonious blend with nature.

🌿 Researchers at the University of Stuttgart have developed an eco-friendly #BioConcrete using human urine.
🔬 The innovative process involves microbial #biomineralization, where bacteria convert urea into #CalciumCarbonate crystals.
🏗️ Bio-concrete offers a sustainable alternative to traditional concrete, reducing environmental impact and emissions.
🚀 The project aims to integrate bio-concrete into a #CircularEconomy, transforming waste into valuable building materials.

"In a groundbreaking exploration of sustainable construction methods, researchers at the University of Stuttgart have pioneered a method to transform waste into a valuable resource. By converting human urine into eco-friendly bio-concrete, they are paving the way for a new era of green building materials. This innovative approach not only seeks to reduce the environmental impact of construction but also leverages a commonly wasted resource to create something beneficial for society. The project’s implications stretch beyond mere construction, hinting at a sustainable future where waste is a key ingredient in building our world."

Quand le #solarpunk aide à ouvrir des voies concrètes dans un contexte de multi-crises :

"Apparu sur des blogues autour de 2008, en pleine récession économique, le solarpunk est à la fois un genre littéraire de science-fiction, une esthétique architecturale et un courant social.
Il propose l'inverse des récits dystopiques : un avenir désirable, à faible empreinte carbone, où la technologie sert les communautés plutôt que les actionnaires".
