Renewable energy commercializationRenewable energy commercialization involves the deployment of three generations of renewable energy technologies dating back more than 100 years. First-generation technologies, which are already mature and economically competitive, include biomass, hydroelectricity, geothermal power and heat. Second-generation technologies are market-ready and are being deployed at the present time; they include solar heating, photovoltaics, wind power, solar thermal power stations, and modern forms of bioenergy.
AryleDans un composé organique, un groupe aryle est un groupe fonctionnel qui dérive d'un hydrocarbure aromatique ou arène par remplacement d'un hydrogène sur le cycle aromatique . Chaque type de substituant porte un nom spécifique défini par la nomenclature IUPAC, comme phényle pour le groupe fonctionnel dérivé du benzène. Le terme aryle est un terme générique utilisé pour désigner de manière générale un substituant aromatique. Plusieurs groupes appartiennent à la famille des aryles : le groupe phényle, C6H5–, dérivé du benzène.
Linear complex structureIn mathematics, a complex structure on a real vector space V is an automorphism of V that squares to the minus identity, −I. Such a structure on V allows one to define multiplication by complex scalars in a canonical fashion so as to regard V as a complex vector space. Every complex vector space can be equipped with a compatible complex structure, however, there is in general no canonical such structure. Complex structures have applications in representation theory as well as in complex geometry where they play an essential role in the definition of almost complex manifolds, by contrast to complex manifolds.
Acide acryliqueL'acide acrylique ou acide acroléique ou acide prop-2-énoïque est un composé organique de formule brute C3H4O2 et de formule semi-développée CH2=CHCOOH. C'est un acide carboxylique et un alcène vinylique, et se présente comme un liquide incolore à l'odeur âcre. L'acide acrylique et ses esters, les acrylates, sont utilisés dans la fabrication de matières plastiques, dans les peintures acryliques et dans divers autres polyacryliques qui ont de multiples usages.
Carbonyl reductionIn organic chemistry, carbonyl reduction is the organic reduction of any carbonyl group by a reducing agent. Typical carbonyl compounds are ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, esters, and acid halides. Carboxylic acids, esters, and acid halides can be reduced to either aldehydes or a step further to primary alcohols, depending on the strength of the reducing agent; aldehydes and ketones can be reduced respectively to primary and secondary alcohols. In deoxygenation, the alcohol can be further reduced and removed altogether.
Renewable energy in ChinaChina is the world's leader in electricity production from renewable energy sources, with over triple the generation of the second-ranking country, the United States. China's renewable energy sector is growing faster than its fossil fuels and nuclear power capacity, and is expected to contribute 43 per cent of global renewable capacity growth. China's total renewable energy capacity exceeded 1,000 GW in 2021, accounting for 43.5 per cent of the country's total power generation capacity, 10.
Generalized complex structureIn the field of mathematics known as differential geometry, a generalized complex structure is a property of a differential manifold that includes as special cases a complex structure and a symplectic structure. Generalized complex structures were introduced by Nigel Hitchin in 2002 and further developed by his students Marco Gualtieri and Gil Cavalcanti.
Migratory insertionIn organometallic chemistry, a migratory insertion is a type of reaction wherein two ligands on a metal complex combine. It is a subset of reactions that very closely resembles the insertion reactions, and both are differentiated by the mechanism that leads to the resulting stereochemistry of the products. However, often the two are used interchangeably because the mechanism is sometimes unknown.
Couple (mathématiques)En mathématiques, un couple de deux objets est la donnée de ces deux objets dans un ordre déterminé. Le couple des deux objets et est noté . Si et sont distincts, le couple est distinct du couple ; en cela, la notion de couple se distingue de la notion de paire où l'ordre des éléments est indifférent. Pour désigner un couple, les anglophones emploient d'ailleurs ordered pair, c’est-à-dire paire ordonnée. Les objets a et b sont appelés respectivement première composante et deuxième composante du couple (a, b).
Nuclear power proposed as renewable energyWhether nuclear power should be considered a form of renewable energy is an ongoing subject of debate. Statutory definitions of renewable energy usually exclude many present nuclear energy technologies, with the notable exception of the state of Utah. Dictionary-sourced definitions of renewable energy technologies often omit or explicitly exclude mention of nuclear energy sources, with an exception made for the natural nuclear decay heat generated within the Earth.
